McDonald’s used to actually be a “happy place.” Now from the drab architecture and style of the buildings coupled with the food, prices, and service and it doesn’t seem very happy now.

What's with all the McDonalds that I've seen in the past few years being painted a depressing grey or black on the outside?

It seems it’s the same building. Taco Bell, BK, McDonalds, etc. So if one goes out of business, another can move in at much less cost. Still ugly AF though.
