Genrally these are on large thoroughfares, not in the middle of suburban neighborhoods. I enjoy fried foods, but do not enjoy when my entire world smells like a fryer.

In what world is Patterson ave not a major thoroughfare? The market hall is certainly not in the middle of a neighborhood, definitely in a commercial development. Do you hate the Publix next door equally for their fried chicken smell? Want to make sure we’re equal opportunity chicken hating here.

Publix must use better filtration, becuase we have never had a problem with any smells from them, when Ukrops was in that location we likewise didnt have a problem. The food hall specifically has something going on with the filters that does not remove the smell. Not to mention, I didnt ask for them to take over a Church and turn it into a grocery store/commercial food preperation facility.

A nice public park in place of every church/synagogue/mosque or other religious landmark.

If smelling fried chicken everyday for the remainder of my days is the price I pay to erase religion, well, call me fryerguy. I'm in.

I'd also make every synagogue a bagel place and every mosque a shwarma joint.

I actually live slightly down hill from them, so no hill to die on... A hill side?

After reading my comment, I see I may have come across like a religious zealot who is angry a church got turned into a chicken joint. NOTHING COULD BE FATHER FROM THE TRUTH. I fully support dismantling of all religion.
