The McDonald's at Holt Summit sports one of the original golden arches, including Speedee on top. Though McDonald's has embarked on a new image for its newest restaurants in the last couple of years, there's nothing better than an original.

This McDonald's was formerly in Jefferson City, MO. (info courtesy Dirk Burhans)

Over in the Muncie, Indiana area is an original McDonald's Hamburgers sign. Although the building itself ain't much to look at, the familiar single arches may make a stop in Muncie worthwhile.

In Springfield, MO is the location of one of the original Steak n' Shake restaurants. This Route 66 landmark, which also looks stupendous at night, is a good place for grub while wearing out during a road trip. Steak n' Shake was built in 1962 and is the only Steak n' Shake in the country still offering curb service.
