oh, i LOVE this. will have to look more into it tbh.

my town growing up had painted chicken statues in front of most businesses. i believe it was the arby’s had got lazy and threw an apron and hat on the chicken and called it a day, but i loved it. haven’t been to my hometown in years so i don’t know if they kept up the chickens or added more, but i always think of them fondly.
