It's a chicken place. A notch up from KFC but not that big of a notch.

Popeye's has a pretty good flavor though, can't say that much for the others.
Gosh.... its NOTHING like Church's and the notch up is huge. :)

The original Poppeys was a plywood building with two order windows to the outside on a shell parking lot. I remember getting chicken there :) I grew up in the upper 9th ward which is not far up-river from Arabi where the original place was located.

Al's light display at Christmas was a constant battle with his neighborhood and the Jefferson Parish sheriff's dept. because of the huge crowds and long lines of cars running through narrow subdivision streets. He also caused havoc when he had a helicopter land in the park over the levee from his house.

I really try to not be snarky when I reply to some people but I am tempted to use your suggestion sometime.

Yes, but this one was in the middle of San Francisco Bay. Maybe he was on a ferry?

To all Texas editors, make sure you don't have any US Banks.
Years ago, back before the big savings and loan crash, all Banks in Texas were "stand alone", that is there could be no branches, so the big multi-state, multi-branch type banks were illegal in Texas.

Chase's network in Texas came about because of the buyout of Texas Commerce, shortly after the repeal of the rule. Texas Commerce had an extensive branch network for many years, making it an attractive target as soon as the restriction was lifted.
Actually they were not branches. Each bank by law was a standalone bank. Many were "associated" with each other and had the same name, but no branches. They were each separate corporate entities. It was a pain not being able to make a deposit except at "your" bank when there was one with the same name nearby. For awhile even ATMs were "branches" but that went away first. When I first moved to Texas from Louisiana I was really confused by the no branch banks when I had had accounts at big Louisiana banks and could make deposits and such at any one branch not just the one where I opened the account.

I had a General Error UR from the middle of a school building with no comment so here is the conversation that occurred.

Thank you for your report from Hill Elementary. Can you provide details of the map problem you experienced?

Reporter on May 17, 2014
The lines in the road heading north on MoPac in the area where the construction are very hard to figure out which mark the lanes. The construction marking are about as strong as the lanes you are supposed to use. It's hard to tell where you are supposed to be driving. Like from westover to 2222
I considered being flipant but decided to be useful instead. Here is my reply:

Unfortunately there is nothing the volunteer map editors can do about the markings on the streets. In Austin there is a good web site for submitting requests about street markings. Go to: https://austin-p1csrprodcwi.motorolasol ... .mvc/Index and follow the directions. I have used it to get a sidewalk repaired so I know they do respond. Hope this helps.
So do they think we work for the government?

This is the best one I have seen lately.
Problem: no hay error
Now this is Texas and the drought has caused there to be a shortage of hay, but I suspect that is not what the driver meant. I have asked for details and am looking forward to the response.
