The sign outside the McDonald's restaurant on Lakewood Boulevard in Downey features, not Ronald, but Speedee the chef — the fast-food chain's original spokesman as a symbol of fast, efficient service. This restaurant, the oldest remaining McDonald's, was restored in 1996, but it continues to mix the old with the new. The employees dress in 1950s-style uniforms, the bright yellow golden arches are still prominent, and Speedee keeps watch over everything from his 60-foot-high perch.
