.... where did this particular notion come from?

I'd have to say the one on Davison near Linwood. Very rough area.

That was one of the first to have bullet-proof glass installed!

Or maybe the one on Conner and Warren?

out of what I suppose is lurid curiosity/boredom, I typed in some key words and found somebody's review of the McDonald's at 18137 Joy Rd, Detroit 48228.

This place has a nickname because of the gang violence that happens in this area. For those who don't know they call this location the murder mac.

Yes, it's adjacent to a gas station, right near the border of Dearborn.

Good times. NOT. The 'eh food is a killer at all of them. And expensive at that!

IIRC, there is one at Mack and Conner, not Warren.

The Murder Mac [["Murder McDonalds" has always been near the Herman Gardens neighborhood on Joy Road on the Westside of Detroit). The original Murder Mac was further down Joy Road and closed down in the 80's [[The one that Judge Mathis use to work at as a Teen), but the Murder Mac people speak of nowadays is the BP/McDonalds on Joy & Southfield Freeway. It got it's name based on all of the shootings that would happen at that location in the 90's and early 2000's).

I would have guessed 7 Mile and Gratiot in 4820-die.

Herman Gardens were notorious for violence decades before 7 & Gratiot area was even considered as being a high crime area.

Or, at least for me, procrastination.
I don't suggest reviews on google;
This time I do.
