Roslindale McDonald's wants to serve round the clock

American Legion Highway, while not a "highway" in the modern sense, is certainly a major thoroughfare that would attract 2 a.m. muncheros from a fairly wide swath of Boston's southern tier, such as Roslindale, Mattapan and Hyde Park - most of whose residents could probably be there within 10 minutes (at 2 a.m., I think it would take us about 2 minutes to get there).

There actually is a neighborhood down that way, off Mt. Hope Street, but I suspect this is not something that will thrill them. And I bet if the licensing board does let them stay open all night, it won't be too long before the Wendy's at the other end of the strip mall asks for permission to do the same thing.
