Newly rebuilt McDonald's near Cleveland Mall holds grand opening

In the parking lot of the newly rebuilt McDonald's on East Dixon Boulevard, sunlight glinted off golden tubas as the sound of Shelby High School's marching band warmed up, its music mingling with the chatter of a small crowd Tuesday, Nov. 10. Roughly 125 days after the former McDonald's building was demolished, a brand-new restaurant has taken its place near the Cleveland Mall. In attendance at the ribbon cutting and grand opening were three county commissioners, the Shelby High marching band and chorus and the Crest High School Air Force Junior ROTC. The interior of the new restaurant features bright yellows and reds, representing ketchup and mustard, and there is a designated window for mobile orders and deliveries to free up the drive thru. Kiosks have been installed for ordering and people can also use their cell phones to make table orders and have it delivered to their table. Brad Kimrey, chief operating officer of Ice Age Management, which owns and operates the restaurant, said the process to begin tearing down the old building and rebuild started about two years ago, but the actual demolition and construction took just around four months. Kimrey said the previous building was around 45

Granite Bears leave it all on the field against Shelby

Mount Airy’s soccer season ended with a 2-0 loss to Shelby on Nov. 9. The Granite Bears and the visiting Golden Lions played a scoreless first half before Shelby struck early in the second. No. 3 Mount Airy had chances to score but couldn’t convert, allowing Shelby to double its lead with another goal midway through the half. No. 11 Shelby fended off the Granite Bears’ final attacks to secure the shutout and advance to the 3A West regional semifinals. “I’m just heartbroken for the seniors,” Mount Airy coach Cody Atkins said. “They were definitely emotional after the game, and the coaching staff was emotional too. We felt like they gave everything they had and really put their hearts into it. “They really left it all on the field.” Atkins said the Bears played a solid match at every position, which made the loss tougher to accept. “It’s hard to swallow when you play good, make good runs, take good shots, leave it all out there and still come up short,” he said. “We felt like we were the better team, it just wasn’t our night.” Mount Airy (21-5) ramped up its offense in the second half after going down
