This looks like something they'd show on Venture Brothers
kaos9
Haha totally
FedEXguy
Abandoned because everyone realized the symbolism of fat floating to the top of water.
AtypicalTitan
I wonder if it had a boat drive-in

legitimate questions +1
AtypicalTitan
Why thank you

As a Vancouverite who drives by this everyday, being able to finally see the inside of this is priceless!

The McBarge! hello there, fellow Vancouver URBEX friend.

If you were in Gotham, that would be Joker's next hideaway.
ZingerTowerburger
We tried to tell you these are unmanned oil rigs. Ah, close the damn thing down, no one's ever going to come. Give me 700 Krusty Burgers!
BrilliantBrunette
So what do you want to do with it? Ehhh, let's go to lunch.
TotalSmartAss
Looks like i t was a cool place to grab a burger and afloat too.
requizen
I think I've seen several horror games start like this.
CthulhusGreasyBallsack
why has nobody turned this into a zombie-proof fortress-restaurant?
braidedeagle
Reminds me of that Krusty Burger on an oil rig.
hooblyboobly
Bet the fries haven't even biodegraded yet
natashaexplosion
At least the food left inside probably hasn't decayed... Haw haw haw!

Oh man. I would live the shit out of it.

so when this sinks does it become the Krusty Krab?

I can't believe its been 30 years. I ate at that McDonalds at the expo after I rode a maglev like 50' after a 2hr wait.
ScootyPuffSr
That was Japan Rail's maglev, I think. Right in front of the highway of concrete statues of cars/bicycles/boats/etc.

No, you will have to pay extra.
IKeepItOnMe
It's like he's never heard of initiation fees.
tammayy
I'm pleasantly surprised that it hasn't been more vandalized
Dirtyoldswish
This was used in Blade 3: Trinity
pocketchant
I was too. I figure it's just because you have to get a boat and such.
wessyfbaby
Yeah or hamburgled for that matter.
CorbettJr
It actually has, those are some very well framed photos.
bbbeckss
We Canadians are too polite. Haha but someone suggested that it be bought and turned into a club...
manslut
Black people can't swim, or afford boats.
BetYouCantHitMeWithaQuarter
Well that explains why it hasn't been stolen yet, but what does that have to do with it being vanda... Ooh
TheLastImgurianOnEarth
As a 'person of color' even I thought this was funny

Grand Theft Auto San Andreas showed me that they learned to swim before white people.

You don't like gay racism? Fucking homophobe...
IGotHam
Careful...gay men have friends up the ass.

These photos are missing a few choice pieces...
shaxgolgotha
vandals can't swim duh
dups97
probably because it's in Canada
Theinternetwasinventedforveryimportantscience
The building itself is vandalizing the river it's on.
thesplashingblumpkins
it's in Canada
MarsorBust
I'll bet you the graffiti was from an American tourist.
shirleyoucantbeserious
Probably reads, "Sorry aboot drawing on this, eh."
Sterconigrak
So serious question, is this allowed? Wouldn't McDonald's, or whoever the franchise owner was, have to get this removed?
imgurSpelledBackwardsIsWork
Then why isn't it in English and French; Canada's two official languages?
KeystoneGray
Once explored an abandoned 50s farm in Canada with my ex. It was completely covered in Nazi graffiti. Killed the mood. We went home.
IdonthinkIwilleverrememberthisusername
Saw a vid of the mcbarge. It said white power along with lots of racist stuff. So it's either the same people it'll it's a common theme
Dystopiana
I saw some graffiti in Montreal. The same tags, over and over. Like the graffiti you see in games.
kirmokum
that's kind of how graffiti works.
TheNightJizzer
Got it.
Darjanator
Buy it, turn it into a gentlemen's club.
CaptainHanderpants
If it's abandoned on open water, you can salvage it without purchasing it from someone. It's going to be an expensive salvage though..
TheBengalKatLady
If you don't I will. Name it boats n hoes.
swatz
PORKY'S!
WolverineRobb
for some reason my mind read, "turn it into a gay men's club"
specific78
you sir, are going places
cisforcience
They have one on a boat in Alaska that keeps getting violations
badacha
Call it McDicks.
inshallahnever
or a house!
Gawqueenpenguin
because of the implications....
RickSanchezEarthDimensionC137
Are we going to hurt these women?! Because it sounds like it!
spiritussancto
a floating club would be awesome. let's do it on a boat that's not about to sink
copingcabana
This idea? I'm lovin it.
shirleyoucantbeserious
Here. HERE. Just take my upvote already!
Darjanator
And by that I mean a proper gentlemen's club, not a synonym for a strip joint.
WhoYouGonnaCallGhostNappa
Why not both?
stalkingintensifies
Fine. Then I take back my upvote.
TheRicM
They will only serve Royales with Cheese, not those scrubby Quarter Pounders
Jayhatesspidersandshit
I want a titty bar!
ItsAGameOfSchlongs
Why not both?
BESTtaylorINAUSTRALIA
Quite right sir... but a substantial amount of prostitutes
readyornot
Oh... Yeah those are great too...
goingtogoeatworms
A high end event space here would be pretty fabulous. Nice and private
jpb103
Smoking jackets and snooker tables?
urmomsaysthat
where do i sign up?
Darjanator
And personal cocktail makers.
df118
with big leather armchairs and mahogany side tables?

I would kill for some good snooker competition. Sign me the hell up

What's wrong with a strip joint? More gentlemen should strip for our hard-earned moo-la. I will give 5 whole $$ to Tom Hiddleston.
SnookerSylph
Tom Hiddleleston could walk down a street in NY shirtless and make more money
Summersky
ZaphodsFriend
No turn it into a krusty krab
billymaditsdone
The best part. You wouldn't have to spend any money on renovating. It's already meets the Gentlemen's Club standards.
sexybeast0709
If you turned it into a gay gentleman's club it could be called SeaMen
PetKittensForFunAndProfit
It would be great because of the implication.
Sauroctonus
Turn it into a KFC. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
whiteroseram
Im in, where do I sign?
TraitorousTrump3
Sell the old french fries. Which still look fresh.

That pun made me Grimace
wessyfbaby
My puns haven't been doing well so I was kind of chicken to write it, folks have been pretty salty lately.
FedEXguy
I've noticed that, too. My nuggets of humor have regularly been over looked for the value-meal allure of unoriginality lately.

This is in Vancouver, BC! Right in my "backyard"!
itscoldhere8monthsoftheyear
Why has no one taken it over? Given the cost of land, wouldn't this be an awesome cost saver?
kaos9
Two real estate agents bought it, basically just letting it rot now
Catimodes
I don't think it is *that* old. I'd say it is AC. Circa 1986 AC.
IncognitoFWUH
I actually went to Expo 86' was living in Surrey at the time...shits crazy....I'm old now....
yeehawbuckaroo
I also escaped from Surrey a long time ago. I wonder if it's improved at all...
IncognitoFWUH
I go back every once in a while...always enjoy driving down 104th....where I used to hang out....don't normally stop lol

Yaaay Vancouver! I guess it is kind of my backyard being from Abbotsford, right?
CaptainOHagan
I'm pretty sure there used to be one in St. Louis Missouri too.
weeshebeast
The SS Admiral! Some barges hit it in 1989 and they scrapped it in 2011. Long past when they should have.

SaltwaterRoom
I think my family saw this one when I was 2! Pretty coooo
0ut0fTheAshes
I was here last June, it looked pretty crazy! I wondered what it looked like inside.
Maripapay
I was thinking this reminded me of the floating Chevron station you can see from across the convention centre! :)
derangedape24
I know the people who own it and it sits on their river front
PointBlanket
As I was scrolling it made me think of Douglas Coupland for some reason... knowing it's in Vancouver only strengthens that
HellomynameisSatan
I saw that when I did a day cruise to some waterfall with my wife :D I was more impressed with that little boat, than the rest of the cruise

It's on the north side of Burnaby docked near the Chevron oil plant. There are trails nearby that you can see it from.

The "McBarge" lives in the Burrard Inlet
goflyblind
