    As the poster is still MIA...

    The location of the oldest still operational McDonald's restaurant has a connection to the area.

    Correct, well done. Now you're up! :)



    And for those trying to follow my clues (Which in retrospect were a bit of a stretch, but this is my caring face: :pac:):



    "Rockwell International Corp., Downey, CA, United State whose facilities were the birthplace of the systems for the Apollo Space Program as well as the Space Shuttle."


    "The oldest McDonald's restaurant is a drive-up hamburger stand at 10207 Lakewood Boulevard at Florence Avenue in Downey, California."


    "Downey was founded by and named for the former and youngest ever governor of California, John Gately Downey, who was born in Ireland."


    "Downey was born on June 24, 1827 in the townland of Castlesampson, Taughmaconnell parish, County Roscommon."

    Not Geashill. Geashill is a bigger village than this, which says a lot about how small this spot is!
    Right province though.
