VIDEO: Protest Against McDonalds in Lakewood
Lakewood resident Fran Storch leads a community protest against the McDonald’s restaurant that plans to demolish the historic Detroit Theatre and replace it with a double-wide drive-thru, potentially disrupting traffic on a residential sidestreet.
Chanting, “I’m Not Lovin’ It,” nearby residents and community members carried signs (“Keep Our Kids Safe,” “Profit Over People,” “Is Your Street Next?”) on 11/2/11, urging passing motorists to signal support with their car horns.
They plan to stage another protest at 7PM on Thu 11/3 outside of Lakewood City Hall at 12650 Detroit Avenue prior to the Lakewood Planning Commission meeting at which the project will be considered for approval.
