2. No, no, no!

He did not start McDonalds. The McDonald brothers moved west from New Hampshire and started the company. Kroc purchased it from them and took it nationwide via franchising.

3. San Bernardino

the first store was there....

Joan Kroc died recently - she donated a lot of money to the City of San Diego and built a paradise of an animal shelter here.
