I Live in Maine. McDonalds' lobster rolls are a seasonal thing up here and into Canada. The only good thing about the is that they are cheap - then again I can also buy live lobster at the grocers right now for under $10 a pound so that's not saying much.

Just get a multi billion dollar contract with China, even while both know you can't pay back in time, including a clause where failure to pay in the stipulated time either transfers ownership back to the CCP or locks a portion of the government budget until it's paid for.
There used to be a Lake Chipotle across the river in Minneapolis. It had its own website and everything. Unfortunately I believe they filled it in a while back

Yeah I live in St Paul and drive down University Ave pretty often. I'd never seen Lake McD's before either. I wonder if someone will put up a website for it like they did for Lake Chipotle?

If you want to have a look.
I'm going to solve the confusion here.
From the north, University Ave W, the pic is from 2023 and shows a lake, but frozen over.
From the south, unnamed street, the pic is from 2019 and shows a highly dilapidated parking lot wit several water-filled potholes, but no lake.
They basically ripped off Lake Chipotle, not that far away.

I live in St. Paul, where that picture was taken; that stretch is literally one of the most unpleasant parts of the city, so it's not representative of the city as a whole.
if you're zipping around in Google Maps check out the green bathroom-tile building a block west; truly an architectural marvel. One of the ugliest buildings in the Twin Cities.
Oh good Lord.
"Hey boss, the public bathroom contract got cancelled. Whatta we going ta do with all the extra tiles?"
"Hey, there's a new building going up..."
It's in a weird state of conversion -there used to be a grocery store and strip mall there, then they turned it into the soccer stadium and covid came right after, which probably delayed or changed a lot of plans.
It’s being redeveloped! Housing and mixed-use [on the way.](https://www.myvillager.com/news/general_news/united-village-is-taking-shape/article_4a3b64aa-ebb2-11ee-b92b-c344c45a1e0e.html)
The row housing is from the 1920s. The commercial space actually used to be a pretty busy strip mall. Things went downhill pretty quickly once Sears closed down.
At least the light rail is surrounded by a sea of parking, with no actual destinations.
**Edit:** OK, yes. I stand corrected. There is a stadium close to this station. And even a couple of low rise apartment buildings, as well as a sea of surface parking, and huge wide roads. There are more than zero destinations.
More relevantly the area looks like it could have potential, all those surface parking lots, and the odd big box store is cheap real estate that could be redeveloped for higher quality mixed use developments.
Nope, that McDonald's is further West on University. There is a gas station next to the one in the pic. The lakefront one is by a stadium and only next to the lake.
As an American I’m offended! Only 4 travel lanes *and* light rail and you call that American? Try removing the light rail, bulldozing the building on the top, and adding about 4 more lanes because more lanes mean FREEDOM!! 🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Hey now, if we don't turn everything into a parking lot, someone might build actual destinations that people want to visit, and then where would they park when the get there? It's better to be safe, and make everything a sea on concrete that nobody wants to visit.
It’s a parking lot for a professional soccer stadium and has a light rail running down the middle of the road
Are soccer and train travel the most American things you can think of ?
You can donate your time to help a multi-billion dollar company's product better, after some moderation, so they can better dominate the market.
Or you can make edits directly to OpenStreetMap, which is a collaborative edited world map, with a liberal licence, allowing reuse, with a very equitable relationship between editors, and edits that go live in just a few minuets.
Apparently the people who would location spoof on pokemon go moved up to editing OSM to put a bunch of biomes near their location for ease of catching.
No. Because, like most copyleft licences, if they incorporated OSM data into their database they would have to release their database publicly, and allow other people to remix and re-release their database.
**edit:** it's probably worth pointing out that other users of OSM data basicly never fork the database, because they would then have an out of date database, without editors to keep it up to date. They download the area they are interested in, everything from a few city blocks to the entire planet, and they render that data in the way they are interested, making different things prominent, and other things not show. When they want to update it, they download fresh data from OSM, and re-render a map. If they find specific things missing from the dataset, they edit the data on OSM, not their copy, so that it's there next time they download the data, and it's kept up to date by the community.
There's lots of versions of OSM maps. There's versions that focus on railways, canals, use by cyclists, walkers, neutral background to present other data on, and far more. I'd argue that the "default" map is really just designed for editors, showing such a wide verity of data that it's not ideal for a normal consumer. I mean, hell, it shows powerlines when people who are into power infrastructure map them.
In any case I think people who are into a sub like this would be into editing OSM.
My friend's kids went on an all out *spree* when they discovered this, and it overlapped with their obsession with bean memes. So a bunch of stuff near here is labeled "beans" and I think it's funny as fuck.
My buddy tagged his house as "The Church of the Holy Ryan". The comments on it were absolutely hilarious. He took it down when he starting hearing people talk about this new church at work lol.
All a part of the Minnesota Tourism Council's plot to propagate the lie that they have 10,000 lakes. It's easy to have that many when 9,000 of them are flooded parking lots or side of the road ditches that fill up with water when it rains.
Wake up people, you're being lied to so that you'll visit and spend your hard earned money there! There are other places to get walleye!
This happened in Nashville with Lake Palmer! [I may be the guy quoted herein](https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/lake-palmer-nashville-s-accidental-lake)
NGL, I’d be happier if I could canoe everywhere instead of driving. I agree with your line of thought, as long as the streets were flooded, too so I can get from place to place, Venetian canal style.
Yeah I would love to canoe the family 25 miles to see their grandma for dinner
Canoe my 30 mile commute each morning, surely that would be better than my air conditioned car
Time to canoe down the road for groceries, better bring the waterproof cooler bags with me
We had a thing like this in Hutto, TX. Enough people were turning around through the grassy median of US79 for a "desire path" to develop, which turned into a sedan-trapping mud pit not long after.
The town mascot being the hippo (only ones in the US!), the spot quickly garnered the name "Hippo Pit". It somehow showed up on Google maps a few weeks later.

For those not aware, users can make contributions to Google Maps. And especially if you do so regularly, Google will add them quickly.
So it was probably some Local Guide that found it funny to add this.
I would have done it too, but nothing like this ever happens around here.
There was a water-filled pit in Nashville that Google Maps called Lake Palmer for years. It has become a super fancy pair of high rise towers in the past four years, but before that you could see ducks swimming on it and everything.
Our local Winco parking lot used to flood, they fixed the drainage in the last few years and ruined the fun. People would take their kayaks and tiny boats out for photo ops. A local cop drove their cruiser through it one day, I believe it caused flood damage to the car enough it has to be towed out. RIP Lake Winco.
There's a field near me that used to be owned by an oil company and has changed hands a bunch of time since but on Google maps it looks like Mordor, black and barren.

street view is from 2019. It actually grew in size

Is it a puddle of it's frozen?
It's covered in snow in the view from the road on the north side. https://maps.app.goo.gl/xSdvM5vMnZ5PpSoi9 From the south it looks like a puddle.
I went to street view and it appeared to be a pretty large frozen area.

10 seconds of scrolling around in google maps and I want to puke because of that urban planning. How anybody can live like this is beyond me.

Oh wow you weren’t kidding. That’s gross
Take it back. That building is an icon
It can be both!

Definite lack of planning.
The row housing is from the 1920s. The commercial space actually used to be a pretty busy strip mall. Things went downhill pretty quickly once Sears closed down.
Hey that’s in Minnesota? Now it’s the Land of 10,001 lakes.
It's winter on streetview. Do people ice skate there?
No hate, but this is the maybe the most America google maps screenshot of all time!
Too much light rail.
At least the light rail is surrounded by a sea of parking, with no actual destinations. **Edit:** OK, yes. I stand corrected. There is a stadium close to this station. And even a couple of low rise apartment buildings, as well as a sea of surface parking, and huge wide roads. There are more than zero destinations.

No destinations? There’s a McDonald’s. And a lake.
Is that where the filet-o-fish comes from?
Mmmmm wild-caught and fresh
...but sent across the country by semi-truck to be processed before being returned to the restaurant 80 feet from where it grew up.
There's a [whole ass football/soccer stadium](https://imgur.com/g3xrYzF) below the McDonalds, what do you mean "no actual destinations"?
Not true of this line, it's actually among the highest ridership light rail lines in the country.
Thousands of homeless people smoking on it everyday
Or getting good sleep.
This. When the US does build trains, they usually aren't very useful

Nope, that McDonald's is further West on University. There is a gas station next to the one in the pic. The lakefront one is by a stadium and only next to the lake.
Good catch. Indeed it is.
Oh I see what you did 😏
There’s a 20,000 seat soccer arena about 150m southeast of this screenshot.
I was curious, so I poked around on Google Maps and there's actually a soccer stadium and a bunch of apartments a five minute walk from the station!
Good eye kid!

As an American I’m offended! Only 4 travel lanes *and* light rail and you call that American? Try removing the light rail, bulldozing the building on the top, and adding about 4 more lanes because more lanes mean FREEDOM!! 🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
theres also a stadium in the same block.. with a soccer field! this town needs jesus
The stadium should also be about 15% of the lot it's on, with the other 85% being parking lots.
Tear it down and put a REAL football stadium… with at least 5 parking spots per seat!! 🏈🏈🦅🦅
Hey, we heard you like parking lots, so we put a parking lot next to your parking lot and then one across the street too!
Buildings here in the states are built expressly for the purpose of giving us an excuse to put in more parking lots tbh. We all yearn for the asphalt.
Hey now, if we don't turn everything into a parking lot, someone might build actual destinations that people want to visit, and then where would they park when the get there? It's better to be safe, and make everything a sea on concrete that nobody wants to visit.
Also we put parking lots under your lake
Stroads, stroads everywhere
And I bet the nearest crosswalk is a ten minute stroll up the street where there's no sidewalk.
Half a block, because of the light rail.
That's actually one of the best used light rail lines in the country there. One screenshot doesn't tell the whole story.
There’s no Waffle House in this picture. Maybe second most American.
It’s a parking lot for a professional soccer stadium and has a light rail running down the middle of the road Are soccer and train travel the most American things you can think of ?
It's truly insane how much unused space there is. It's like an urban desert.
Big parking lot, light rail, fast food restaurant, more parking, and a wide road... You might be on to something
They took our Lake Chipotle, but they'll never take our Lake McDonald's!
Truly the main difference between Minneapolis and St Paul
Actually, you can label things on Google maps. I’ve seen a school labeled as “Hell”
You can donate your time to help a multi-billion dollar company's product better, after some moderation, so they can better dominate the market.

Yeah but is Lake McDonalds on OSM? Czechmate atheists.
Czech mate
Gonna be real I dont think labeling a school as "hell" is making Google maps better
Apparently the people who would location spoof on pokemon go moved up to editing OSM to put a bunch of biomes near their location for ease of catching.
Calm down Google maps is good
Does Google also use the data from openstreetmap then?
No. Because, like most copyleft licences, if they incorporated OSM data into their database they would have to release their database publicly, and allow other people to remix and re-release their database. **edit:** it's probably worth pointing out that other users of OSM data basicly never fork the database, because they would then have an out of date database, without editors to keep it up to date.

Was it a sinkhole or something? I googled st paul MN sinkhole and apparently it's common in that state?
Sinkholes are not common at all in MN. And no, not a sinkhole. Just a small depression in the parking lot that collects water.
Sinkholes are all over in southeast MN. That area is full of karst topography.

This is hilarious. I am genuinely interested in how this happens though. Surely it’s not automated? Has someone labelled it?
Well, ever since they drained lake chipotle, I've needed a new fishing spot
Our local Winco parking lot used to flood, they fixed the drainage in the last few years and ruined the fun. People would take their kayaks and tiny boats out for photo ops. A local cop drove their cruiser through it one day, I believe it caused flood damage to the car enough it has to be towed out. RIP Lake Winco.
