  1. Why in the would do we need another McDonalds in this lAFollette Jacksboro area. I just can’t believe this new McDonald’s will have that many customers. It will be great for the homeless in the area that have E BTs they will sell their EBTs or part of them to people will to take them and believe there plenty of people who buy them for cash.other than that I just can’t see the need.
