No, no no!!! PLEASE no US fast food chains in AC!!! So tourists can run to their familiar place to eat vs. experiencing the part of the culture by tasting the phenominal local food!!

I will no longer be able to tease those who ask for subway and mcdonalds by saying "walk a few blocks to the Park where there is a small playground and you'll see a long rectangular place with a thatched roof and 6 different fast food places to eat. You'll find many of your fast food places there!" lol.

I like to go to AC to GET AWAY from the fast food chains, their logos, etc. Mark my words... at the very sight of the first golden arch... you'll know AC is heading downhill.

Does anyone know if there is one of those fast food places in Belize, I have no idea.
When the fast food places come to AC, then we are attracting the wrong people to our paradise.
I have no intention of ever eating at one of those places, if and when they show up.
The Bridge, last word is it stopped again, what a shame, as I have stayed away from this topic for some time now, but have been reading every day, pros and cons. Bridge, No bridge, interesting.
Yes, the power lines will provide a easement for road north, and hope all land owners will chip in and help maintain it. Even with nothing on my prop. I will join in.
I will be in town to celebrate the completion and dedication of the bridge.
Will drink plenty of Belikin, and try One Barrel, as I used to be a rum drinker.

Let's see, since 11/11, three whole days!!! Everyone knows where you stand on this issue Steve.
The fact is, the bridge will come. The town has recently taken a 50 ft right-of-way by my house (up about 2 1/2 miles). So things are going to change. My hope is that the positives will outweigh the negatives.

Always think positive

There's no good in negative

Tincup, I stayed out of for almost 3 weeks, and came in only when the bridge came back , as a new topic, and have jumped in 3 times, only to support the bridge, as before, and some kind of road to the north. No Negative from this side, only support for controlled dev., trying to keep AC a real place to explore and enjoy.
Have Faith

Not so Steve... if you're looking for change with this new bridge, as you mention, then you're definitely not trying to keep AC a real place... you're changing it.

Denny, It started changing when San Pedro was built, and again when Ferry came to be. New homes and residences were built, and you still like it. Give it a chance, please.
Why so negative, think positive, and with your help, we can make a difference, as to how the next change will impact this paradise.

Steve: You're not gonna change anybody's mind on this issue so why try? There are very strong feelings pro and con. Just leave it alone.

there is a "golden arch" in chetumal, and that is where it should stay other than that i know of zero fast food chains in Belize
