Please do not park your cars in corners or cul-de-sacs as it makes snow clearing more difficult. You may notice large snow blowers that do not have city logos, and the clearing of the cul-de-sac may not occur at the same time as close by streets.

Rumors that the Delligatti family felt they deserved credit for the name persisted, however, and at one point seems to have almost become a legal matter.Learn more about snow and ice clearing standards, and how to report uncleared areas. McDonald's finally declared in 1985 that it had come from a 21-year-old secretary named Esther Glickstein, who had long lobbied for recognition as the inventor of the name.
The origin of this name was shrouded in legend for years. Neither of these stuck, however, and so it ended up being called the Big Mac. Just what it would be called is a point of controversy, as well.The legend goes that Delligatti's first ideas were the Blue Ribbon Burger, and the Aristocrat. When he finally got the green light from corporate, Delligatti started selling the new burger in his franchise in April 1967. (Delligatti rightly figured he would need to keep the bigger, sauce-heavy burger from falling apart.) The execs finally gave in after two years, allowing Delligatti to sell his crazy new double burger, but also to use a specially ordered, double-sliced sesame-seed bun – so there'd be three pieces of it in the sandwich. Once Delligatti had perfected his recipe, he tried to convince the McDonald's corporate offices to let him sell it at his franchise.
Watch a 1967 Commercial for the Big Mac With No Onions The original newspaper ads heralding the arrival of the burger described it as having: "two freshly ground patties, tangy melted cheese, crisp lettuce, pickle and our own Special Sauce." It's unclear when the onions finally arrived, but it was certainly sometime before the jingle was introduced in 1974. You'd assume that Delligatti's variation featured the combination of ingredients that powered the Big Mac's unforgettable advertising jingle: two all-beef patties, special sauce (which is not, contrary to longtime rumors, simply Thousand Island dressing), lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, on a sesame seed bun. The Big Boy's restaurant chain – a direct competitor – sold a burger called the Big Boy that featured two beef patties separated by a third bun.
He decided to use one of the oldest ploys in the entrepreneurial handbook: Delligatti copied someone else. So they weren't really satisfied by the smallish burgers coming off the line at Delligatti's franchise. Delligatti's restaurants were serving steel workers, and steel workers tend to be really hungry.
