On a similar note I’m surprised that an anti gun group has not tried to change a street name in West Palm Beach. Gun Club Road.

The main drag through Richmond is Broad Street. It's surprising the libbers haven't complained about that.

I'm a PETA fan. Back in the good old days when I was gainfully employed we had a KFC not too far from my office. One year, and I'd guess it was maybe 15 years ago, they protested at the place. Me not being one to support most demonstrations, I went out to bring back my lunch. And sure enough, there out front was PETA. Sans clothes.

These were malnourished young women. As in nekkid ones. Due to their lack of eating good food, they didn't have big, un, you know, boobs. Hope Paras censors don't catch that. And stupid me, I did have a cell phone. But of course I was busy staring and didn't think to get photos. There were only a few of them, and one was acceptable looking. Not a raving babe, but times were hard.

Ever since I've avoided saying bad things about them. I don't support them financially, and I tend to not support their causes. But the viewing is good at times. So make fun of them all you want, but don't include me in your group of haters. Haters are goin' to hate. Old perverts are goin' to look.

another 'Brother of the Spud' who grew up in my own era in the 'Boise Valley', this retired librarian supplied her own response & list of nominees :

"I was thinking of new names for the road. Foghorn came to mind. Some sort of riff off Chicken Little and the Sky is Falling. Then I looked for a list of chicken names for those intelligent and sensitive creatures that wouldn't insult them.
List of Popular Chicken Names

Albert Eggstein
Attila the Hen

Spokane has a Rifle Club Rd. It's in a residential area and I've travelled it too many times to count.

Jim

Trump's Golf Course, the Sheriff's Department, the jail, and a titty bar are all also on Gun Club Road.

I've never seen a PETA protester nekkid.

I'm very thankful for that as I've never seen a PETA protester that I would want to see nekkid.

Some things are better left unseen.

They just do these things for attention... and we can't help but keep give it to them.

Why is Chicken Dinner Road named that?

How the name of the road came to be — it used to be called Lane 12 — is a story in and of itself.

The tale has many versions, each with devotees, according to previous Idaho Statesman reporting.

Those competing accounts initially caused Caldwell librarian Elaine Leppert in 2018 to respond to a Chicken Dinner query by saying, “I wouldn’t touch it with a 10-foot pole. I wouldn’t touch it with a chicken leg.”

But she relented. The story’s too rich to stay quiet, and its central facts are accepted by most: The titular chicken dinner was prepared in the 1930s by Laura Lamb, who lived along the then-rutted road. Other facts are less certain.

The most popular account has Lamb preparing her famous fried chicken for then-Gov. C. Ben Ross, a family friend, and asking him his opinion of the rough road he’d had to travel to reach her home. Ross told Lamb that if she could get the county to grade the road, he’d get it oiled. She did, then he did.

“I’ve heard it was a commissioner; I’ve heard it was the governor,” Leppert said. “My father said it was a commissioner.”

That last version carries some credibility, since county commissioners are more likely than a governor to hear a plea for improving a county road. Then again, Leppert acknowledged, a governor does have clout.

According to some versions, the street name first appeared on cardboard “chicken dinner” signs placed along the route to direct the governor — or commissioner — to his supper. After the road was oiled, vandals supposedly wrote “Lamb’s Chicken Dinner Avenue” on its freshly oiled surface in bright yellow letters. The name was catchy, so it stuck.

If the name of the road was ever changed, other aspects of Idaho life may be affected.

Houston Vineyards, which is located at 16473 Chicken Dinner Road, celebrates the name through its Chicken Dinner wine series.

“The naming of our Chicken Dinner wines celebrates and plays off a classic Southern Idaho tale — the story behind one of the most curious road names around,” Huston states on its website.

Chicken Dinner Road is also the name of an Idaho bluegrass band out of Middleton founded in 2007.

Or Gun Barrel City here in Texas.

Apparently the mayor of Caldwell had lunch catered in for City Hall the other day. Somethin' tells me PETA is SOL on their 'demands'.

My dad lives right by that road. If i was the Mayor, a resident of the city or even the state of Idaho, itd be my pleasure to tell peta to fuck off. And i hope they do.

My vote would be "Bacon, Lettuce And Tomato Sandwich Road" ...

As far as how roads get their name...between Dallas Ga. and Cartersville Ga. near Burnt Hickory there is "Blue Car Body Road"...because at one time back in the day there was a blue car in a pasture there

A lot of nice wineries on that road. We took our kids to tour the Ste. Chapelle winery back in 2015 and it was really interesting.

Oh, and fuck PETA.

Chickens are intelligent, sensitive animals...

Leads me to believe that she's never been near a real live chicken before.

Can all of the liberals in America just move to Cal. and leave the rest of America in peace.

It also intersects Deer Flat Road and is a nice area to bike on.

We don't need nut cases worrying about what our streets are named, when they can barely function in a normal society. Lunatics.

So, what do you think these PETA bleeps are doing today on National Fried Chicken Day?
