The Six
08/16/04
Somewhere on Long Island, or maybe eastern Queens.
The Times discovers Kennedy Fried Chicken. Alas, no mention of KyFC in the Bronx, Kantacky Fried Chicken in Brooklyn, JFK Fried Chicken in various places, or J.F. Kennedy Fried Chicken in Orange, NJ. (Does anyone have a permalink for that article? The usual source fails.)
One year ago: Blackout.

So, what is one to do at that intersection? To stop, or not to stop, that is the question.

Hard to believe the Blackout was a year ago. Time goes by fast. Great photos once again too!

Just looking at the sign for "The Six" tells me that there might be a lot of 70's style rock and roll for the lord...

What patronizing asses the NY Times are. They act as if something is only "discovered" when they write about it. Like Columbus "discovering" a continent where 14 million people lived.
Luther's in downtown brooklyn is better anyway dammit!

I poured over crime scene photos of that wery same Kennedy's FC for months at an old job and never realized the irony. I guess the bullet bullet proof glass, the spent shells and bullet holes in the door and the blood and EMS refuse from the gunfight outside distracted us.

At least the writer eventually bothered to mention Kansas Fried Chicken. I bet this chain really was NEWS to the esteemed Times! "What? A fast-food franchise whose name kind of sounds like Kentucky Fried Chicken? Stop the presses this is a clear-cut case of 'All The News That's Fit To Print!!!' "
