It took only hours for a single excavator to level the McDonalds at 1512 S. 11th St. on Tuesday to make way for a new a new restaurant.
The building, which preceded all fast-food restaurants currently active in Nebraska City, was constructed 30 years ago.
It's all about tax depreciation. Commercial buildings are depreciated over a 20 year lifespan. After 20 years they(the actual structure) are virtually worthless. So owners tear the building down, make any needed changes to the new building and have another 20 years of depreciation. I think tax code creates a lot of waste, but that is the way it is.

So I guess they built another McDonalds here? I know many fast food restaurants are known to tear down the old building and rebuild occasionally. I know the McDonalds in Timonium MD did that. And the Burger King in Timonium did the same thing.

Talk about raising the roof. It had a real drive through window. Business is flat.
