Huum. Never heard the term "Magic Carpet doors" before.
BTW, the doors were electric, and I do remember the enterance being on the street, though the out door faced the parking lot.
I assume the parking lot was always the same size because there's a street just to the right of it.

Also it amazes me how when it comes to the past, reguardless of what the subject is. I've beena member of many message boards, including nostalgic sites, which are either rare...

Though it doesn't say just being a resident I'm pretty sure this is the old Dempster & Greenwood location and the only one that I knew of where the cursive writing was red.

Re: Old Burger King Restaurant in Naperville IL.

If the design is how I think it is, I'd REALLY like to get pictures. OK I just checked out Mapquest.com and this old BK restaurant would have t...

Old Burger King Restaurant in Naperville IL.
Which is a far west suburb in Chicago.
It's probably built similar to the old McDonalds and they have these 2 red things which I wouldn't call arches since they're round like the golden arches.
Wonder how many of these old BK restaurants still exist?
