Idaho cities are probably tooo small for a Sam’s Club. Can’t call it Rotisserie Chicken boulevard
Why is it called Chicken Dinner Road?Morris and Laura Lamb were friends of Governor C. Ben Ross and his wife, Edna. They had eaten dinner together many times at the Lamb home.
One day, in the 1930s, Mrs. Lamb, who was noted for her chicken, rolls and apple pie meals, was in Boise. She invited the governor to come to dinner. During the same conversation, she complained to Ross about the pitiful condition of the road in front of their place, which was dirt pocked with potholes. Ross was purported to say something like, “Laura, if you get that road graded and graveled, I’ll see to it it’s oiled.”
Mrs. Lamb approached the Canyon County Commissioners who saw that opportunity as a fine one. They graded and graveled the road. As soon as that was done, she was on the phone to the governor reminding him of his promise. The next day — this part seems unlikely, but it’s Mrs. Lamb’s story — the next day the road was oiled.
The story got around and local hooligans thought it would be droll to put up a big hand-scrawled sign in front of the Lamb house in the dark of night. It read: “Lamb’s Chicken Dinner Avenue.” Mrs. Lamb was not amused. Possibly because she knew the rules. It was clearly a road then, as it is today. Chicken Dinner Road.

Call it “Massaman Chicken” Road and really make their heads explode.
Winning.
Laugh but it won’t be long before streets and towns named after the founders will be changed to names like “Planned Parenthood Road” or “Antifa Lane”.
Rename it “Attention Seeking Whores Road” in honor of PETA
Rename it Winner Winner Road.
If it was me being asked I’d change the names of the flanking streets to “Eggs and Bacon” and “BBQ”
Wait for Bernie to name it Free Chicken Dinner Road.
Sounds like your typical Dem voter. Brainless, but motile.
How about they change it to “F*** Peta”?
Why stop there? Make it illegal to say phrases like “chicken out”, “chicken pox”, and “chicken sh*t”.
All of these phrases are demeaning to chickens.
Humans have hunted and raised animals to eat since there were humans. It’s 100% normal and natural.
For anyone who doesn’t want to eat animal flesh, I respect your deviation from the norm.
Members of this cult called “PETA” are not known for their rationality. They frame their arguments in the belief that crocodiles, ants and wolves are rational, thinking beings.
While animals of all varieties have shown an amazing adaptation to their niche in the environment, the entire circle of life, PETA has chosen to assert that humanity differs from the “lower” species only because people are basically “cruel” and WANT to see the “lower” species suffer pain and degradation.
This may be one view of a segment of humanity, but certainly not ALL of it. Domesticated animals have been a part of human civilization since very early on, a part of the evolution upward from roaming nomadic tribesman to the technological wizards that have transformed the planet into a virtual Eden in places, all the while with many of these various species at their side, Had we not horses, other humans would have been used as slaves to carry burdens and pull loads. If no cattle and chickens, our diets would be reduced to very anemic sources of protein, as few plant sources in and of themselves provide adequate complete and balanced proteins. If no cats or dogs, human companionship is sometimes a little too intense for many people. The list goes on and on, the interdependence of humanity with animals, and civilization in the absence of this symbiotic relationship would be a much less settled and positive attribute to the world.
Change it to Chicken Diner.
Motto: “Whiner, Whiner, Chicken Diner!”
Maybe open a Kenny Rogers, too.
Every chicken that reads that sign will flee in fear. Literate fowl should not be terrorized in such a fashion!
I hope the town renames Chicken Dinner Road to Chik-Fil-A Dinner Road. That ought to really upset the homo-lesbo group known as PETA.
From a group that kills 90% of the animals that it gets control of.
