Perhaps she is confused about the term protest, it is one of those fancy white folks terms, and she jus' 'ere fo' som' chickens massa.

A Church's Chicken is a sign that the neighborhood is not completely dead. A new CC will probably attract a payday loan biz, a rent-a-center and a pay-as-you-go cell phone place.

i've never been to one, but my brother says that Roscoe's Chicken n' Waffles in SoCal is pretty full of awesome. the name alone makes me salivate

 
JesterGirl [TotalFark] 2008-09-14 02:37:14 PM  
Right...because cheese, beer, and bratwurst is a much healthier diet.

Also, the comma after "shootings" is not necessary.

I came for Bob the Angry Flower and was not disappointed. Carry on.

They're protesting fried checken in the ghetto. There's some sort of awful joke in poor taste to be made here.

Yeah, that is a pretty shiatty area. I wouldn't drive there after dark to get chicken.

Because having a Church's Chicken would REDUCE drug dealing, shootings, and unemployment?

Well, maybe the unemployment, but exactly how big of a Chuch's Chicken are we talking about?

Chicken not checken, and man are we falling off our game in obesity.

I think subby was pointing out their protesting could go to something more constructive

i'm not throwing stones. jesus. i'm the last person to ridicule anyone about their weight. i'm just saying, it seemed a little hypocritical for them to say that.

It's kind of a racist headline, subby.

Unless you've lived on North St. in Milwaukee then its pretty much on the mark. Carry on.

It's pronounced "mil-e-wah-que" which is Algonquin for "the good land".

One Chik-fil A near me and a "bring in your half eaten McDonald's southern style sandwich and get the original free" promotion. Delicious food, just wish the profits weren't being tithed.

Neighborhood SpokespersonGiven that the property at 1635 West North Avenue has been vacant for over a year, this is the time to reach for a higher and better and healthier use for it," Adams said.

Given that the property at 1635 West North Avenue has been vacant for over a year, this is the time to sell it to anyone willing to pay good money for it.

TheFatManCometh: Does anyone have that pic of the corner with a KFC, a Church's, a Popeye's and a Chick-fil-a?

Coming upon that corner accidental has to be as scary as going into that cave in Lord of the Rings where the dead were living.


The smell of fried chicken will never wash away from there. There was a 50 year old chicken place in South Tampa that closed and got renovated into a bank. I bet the money smells like chicken and hushpuppies.
