IDEA: Tubes, slides, mazes, level--all at McDonalds!

A random snail mail letter was sent to me from a six-year-old thinking I work at the corporate headquarters of McDonalds. He has some incredible ideas for a McDonalds playground design with crazy tubes, slides, and mazes of various levels.

He must have found me by doing a search for McDonalds online, because I often post about McDonalds. And it's not unusual for people to think spudart.org is some sort of official site for stuff, like the official blog for the Cubs announcers, the official site for the tv shows American inventor and Deal or No Deal, and now the official customer service department of McDonalds fielding wonderful ideas about playground design.

How in the world do I respond to him? Please leave your ideas in the comments below.

Check out all of his crazy ideas in this video of me opening the letter and reading it:

I don't have any suggestions for you... but I do hope that you eventually write back to that kid.

Tell us how it comes out.

You should send that letter to the REAL McDonald's HQ. I bet they send that kid some coupons for free Happy Meals.

I'm thinking of adding some illustrations to Owen's concept and then mailing it all over to McDonalds.

Aww I just love how little kids think all they have to do is ask to get results. I remember writing my favorite band when I was like 11 years old and inviting them over for dinner, and I was just like Uh why WOULDN'T they come?!? They didn't come and they never even wrote back...

I think you should send it to the:

Playland Design Department
c/oMcDonald’s Corporation
2111 McDonald's Dr
Oak Brook, IL 60523

and maybe they will make Owen's dreams come true.

This kid should be a landscape architect....I love the enthusiasm to change something that doesn't meet his young creative mind's needs in his playspace.
