Dick & Mac McDonald opened their first hot dog stand, the Airdrome, at the Monrovia Airport in 1937. Huntington Dr. & Mayflower was the northewest corner of the airport which is where this McDiner is located on old Route 66 in Monrovia, CA.

I have not been able to determine the significance of the slash through the golden arches. The chef depicted in an animated neon light seems to have been a very early McDonald's logo.
Apparently the McDiner's were first tested in 2002 in Kokomo, Indiana. They featured an expanded menu similar to a family restaurant. It is not clear how many of these actually opened or how they fared, but most seem to have reverted to the standard McDonald's menu.
