Our Unique Location in Monrovia
The Monrovia Airport was located between Shamrock Avenue (west) and Mountain Avenue (east), and Huntington Drive (north) and the 210 Freeway (south). This former general aviation airport was originally known as the "Foothill Flying Field". It was described as having a single, 2,700-foot unpaved northeast/southwest runway. In 1953, the airport was closed for unknown reasons.
In 1937, Patrick McDonald opened the Airdrome restaurant near the Monrovia Airport. Hamburgers were 10 cents, and all-you-can-drink orange juice was five cents. In 1940, the entire, original octagonal building was moved to San Bernardino, where it was renamed "McDonald's" (after Patrick and his two sons, Maurice and Richard). It wasn't until 1953 that they began franchising the restaurant, in1961 they were bought out by Ray Kroc.
