1950s' American automobile culture
- ...that 1950s' American automobile culture gave us the McDonalds double arch sign and suburbia?

This is easy: new creation, great quality, hook verified, etc. It's sort of the anti-Marc Salles. Note: I'm in the article history with two or three edits, but they're not on the facts in the hook nor are they substantial compared to the heavy lifting by Dennis and Malleus.

- While I agree with almost all of it (including a few edits) I am not happy with the "us" in the hook. It (McDonalds, suburbia) is a mixed blessing for whom? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 17:50, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

- Since the article is about American culture, one would suspect Americans, although McDonalds is certainly global. Suburbia, not so much. I supposed you could use "inspired" rather than "gave us". The suburbia pic is rather bleak [1] but effective. The hot rod pic would be "cooler". [2], if you wanted to include a pic. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 18:16, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
- Since I am not American, I am not part of that "us", then ;) - "inspired" is way too positive! (btw: inspired referencing in that article!) "resulted"? "led to"? help! playing (with a comma):

- That sounds good, and that is really a good image. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 18:56, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
- I added the possessive apostrophe to your "McDonald's", since that is how the company does it. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER 19:10, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
