Chicken. Lincoln, Nebraska - Big Chicken at Lee's Restaurant

Here's a picture of the Lee's Restaurant Chicken that I took on 3/22/2009 ... now released into the wild. [Jack Cornelison, ChFC, CLU, FLMI, ACS, AIAA, 03/31/2009]

Lincoln, Nebraska - Giant Chicken, Piano Requests

It's a statue of a large chicken...I'm assuming a rooster...crowing on a platform on a large pole. He presides over the parking lot of Lee's Chicken, a Lincoln fried chicken institution. It's been there since I can remember, and Lee's has been in Lincoln forever so I assume the chicken has been there as long as the restaurant. The restaurant decor needs some serious updating, but the food is good...that is if you don't mind eating a week's worth of calories in a single sitting. Also, there is an old lady that has worked there for years that plays piano...she'll accommodate almost any request. [Lindsay O'Brien, 05/18/2008]
