Finally had the tine to string some power lines on the “Ms Mary D’s” single.

Does that sign, on the side of the roof, actually say "Cheeseburgers with Cheese"?  If not, what is the word in the middle?

Yes…
I simply designed the artwork for ‘Ms Mary D’s’ based on the well known Delgadillo’s Snow Cap in Seligman, AZ.
I still may add the ‘Dead Chicken’ sometime in the near future

OK...  So, what is a "cheeseburger without cheese"?  Wouldn't that just be a "hamburger"?

I actually heard a customer come into the Burger King locally and order a "Whopper Jr. without the meat", so I guess anything is possible.

That's impossible!  What I men, why not just order the Impossible Whopper?  It has meat without actual meat.    Or  maybe that's what they were doing in an awkward way?

I don't like cheese on my burgers and for a while when ordering burgers in BK the order taker would assume I wanted cheese.  I specifically had to specify "without cheese". If I didn't, I would end up with cheese. But it seems that recently they have backed off on this cheese forcing.

I saw the model, and had a thought about making a comment, decided no big deal, but now you've put up a picture of an actual structure you based the model on, and right there is the thing I wanted to comment on -- shouldn't the sign with the arrow in the model be perpendicular to the road, not parallel with it? So oncoming drivers would have a full-on view of the sign face and flashing arrow? Otherwise they'd only see it when passing it. But I know there'll be cries of nitpicker, it's his model, don't look at the negative, etc. There are as many definitions of what people define as "authentic" as there are modelers. After all, nobody will actually be driving down that N scale road ...

Peteski:  At least around here, the Whopper and Whopper Jr come without cheese, and it has to be requested at extra cost.  The most of the other burgers have "cheeseburger" in the name, so one has to request it be left off.  I like cheese on burgers, Mom usually asked to have it left off.

As for the customer and the meatless Whopper Jr, I assume they didn't want meat of any kind, animal or plant origin.  As you said, if they wanted a non-animal burger, the Impossible Whopper was available.

This jingle has been rolling around in my head for forty years.  Enjoy!

In my college days I worked the grill (mostly) in a McDonald's for a while.   Quite regularly I'd see an order (always from drive-through, late in the evening) that included for two hamburgers, no bun, nothing on them.       Finally I decided to find out why.   Turned out it was a guy who worked as a security guard and had his two Doberman guard dogs with him.  Doggie treats!
