    Ep. 1: McDonalds
    Oct 26 2017

    In July of 1984, an armed man walked into a McDonald’s in San Ysidro and murdered 21 people. At the time, it was the deadliest mass shooting in US history. The massacre created a strange dilemma for McDonald’s: what happened wasn’t their fault, but the event was becoming synonymous with their brand. The corporation decided to replace the branch’s windows, clean up the blood, and reopen their doors to the public. But the survivors had a different plan.

Great story telling

I wish there were more episodes. The stories are interesting and I didn't know about them until finding this podcast.

Wow

Wow. So good. It can be a bit hard to listen to sometimes, especially the descriptions of the crimes in the first and last episodes, but overall, this is so interesting to listen to. Some of these stories are so touching to listen to. The narration and reporting is good as well. Not for younger listeners, but definitely recommend!

Excellent

Excellent podcast very informative, if your a true crime fan you will love. The details are very real and told by some of the people who experienced these tragedies. I honestly never thought about what happens to a places where tragedy may occur or how it can change a community. Wish there was more episodes seems like it would have been a very good podcast.

Places Affected by Tragedy

This was an interesting series about places where tragedy has occurred. What happens to property and places in the aftermath? Are they sold, destroyed, how are people in the surrounding areas affected? This series explores those questions. With different examples. Very well done and thought provoking.
