    Number 3 has a copyright symbol and name, does that mean anything for Consumerist or is media exempt from having to get permission to use a photo? Genuinely curious here.

      Since the person who took the photo entered it into the pool, I think that means they give the Consumerist permission to use it.

        Thanks, I wondered if these were pics people ran across on Flickr or took themselves.

      People put watermarks on photos in case they’re stolen and reposted elsewhere with no links.

      Submitting photos to our pool gives us permission to use them on the site. We do tend to avoid pictures with watermarks unless they’re super neat.

      Yes. I’ve seen/visited a couple during a trip to Safety Harbor / Clearwater, Florida.

      I always thought McDonalds was only a NJ thing. Then I went to NY and realized it’s a NY/NJ thing … ;)

      We have them in Maryland, too. AND I think the pic is the one in Ellicott City.

      #1 is Ellicott City, Maryland Corner of Saint Johns Lane and Frederick Road. Converted gas station. I’ve eaten there.

    #1 looks like Ellicott City, MD– Frederick Road and St. John’s Lane… former home to a bank that crashed and burned during the first S&L crisis back in the 80′s

    Ok that’s freaky. The first picture (of the Ritas) is a mile from my house.
