new chicken place -- Texas Chicken -- at 5 x rds
This place only opened 3 days ago so I thought I'd try it out tonight.. drive through... they were sooo busy.. a great start for their business.... but staff accidentally gave us spicy instead of original chicken so we took it back... the staff and Manager could not have been nicer and certainly did much more than what we expected.. gave us some freebees too.. such nice people .... and great food.... will certainly be customers of theirs again. A big welcome to them to our community... I urge others to try them out :)

Poll: Do you think an age check is required for these drinks?
Stores are checking IDs for fancy soft drinks and not everyone is happy about it.
One shopper, who asked not to be named, bought some zero alcohol branded drinks at his local supermarket and was asked to “step around into the thoroughfare so a supervisor could see me and make sure I was over 18. I couldn't believe it."
