No more: The Chicken House

I wish I'd eaten here

One sad thing about the recession (depression?) is seeing little businesses that have gone under. I snapped this admittedly terribly photo of The Chicken House, a restaurant I passed the other day. I’ve never eaten there and I have no idea whether it was any good. A little web research shows it closed after only a few months, so maybe it wasn’t.

It actually caught my eye because of the name–descriptive, straightforward, but still catchy, especially when paired with the homespun but not entirely awful logo on the sign. It’s hard to tell in the photo, but the negative space space between the “C” and the “h” forms the shape of a chicken egg. Maybe they were taking a page from the famous FedEx arrow.
