Arch Nemesis

Somewhere in Beowulf there is a line that says, paraphrasing here:  Under god's arches are we all.  In a high school literature class I parodied this line using a McDonald's arch symbol and having a character state: "Under god's golden arches are we all."  Well...these arches are no longer golden.  No longer do they symbolize a buzzing hive of hunger-inducing sights and smells.  This particular McDonalds had just been ousted for the expansion of the campus Student Success Center.  I didn't go in here alot when I took photography classes in the art building, but occasionally the smell of warm grease was enough to assuage my hunger.  Alas, no more.
