Unique Barstow Hamburger Joint - Put Your Coach In The Movies

Posted by Russ and Tiña De Maris at Thursday, April 15, 2010

You've seen one McDonalds, you've seen them all? Evidently there is at least one Mc-Restaurant that breaks the typical mold: Barstow, California off the old Historic Route 66 is unlike any other of the vast sea of franchised Ronald McDonald diners.

Based on a railroad theme (it all goes along with Barstow's history), you can gobble your Big Mac in a rail car, if you like. Perhaps a giveaway that you've entered an unusual McD's is the big red, railroad water tank prominently perched near the ubiquitous Golden Arches.

Some older ones may yearn for the days when you could get a real minty milkshake at McDonalds--they called it a Shamrock Milkshake. The Barstow Station McDonald's is one of those rare stores in the system that sells the Shamrock Shake--but only along about St. Patty's day.

Visit the Barstow Station McDonalds at 1611 Main Street, just off Interstate 15.

By Staff Report | June 11, 2010 - 9:32 am - Posted in Uncategorized (June 11, 2010) - RV Adventure Videos is looking for an RV to star in its latest DVD release “The Great Rocky Mountain RV Adventure — Glacier Park to the Canadian Rockies.” The shoot will run this summer, July 1 through August 5. The filmmakers will travel aboard the RV. “Each year we make contact with more than 200,000 RVers and other travelers across the country at RV and travel shows,” said Holod. “That number does not include visits to our popular website and video sales. We are also on Facebook and You Tube. The vehicle we travel with is a big part of our seminars and other public appearances. We are regularly asked about our RV by people in the audience.” The RV will be featured on the DVD cover as well as throughout the video. It will also receive a commercial in every DVD sold, plus a link, photo and logo on the Holod’s website. “We will mention the RV and show a commercial of the product at each show,” said Holod. This is a great way for a manufacturer or rental company to promote their RVs. The PR possibilities are endless.” RV Adventure Videos include eight DVD titles, spanning RV travel and destinations through the United States. The company’s most recent production “The Great Rocky Mountain Adventure” has been a best seller. RV manufacturers or dealers who are interested in providing an RV for the filming of the DVD should contact Holod at holodjohn(at)aol.com or phone him at (877) 783-7227. There is no other cost.
