Me either formosa, me either. I've never eaten at one but I have vowed to start. On Wednesday, August 1st, I pledge to drive out of town to the nearest C-f-A and have lunch.
Furthermore, Amazon just lost all my business.

Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy’s recent comments about gay marriage has caused quite a stir across the country and has City Councilman Jim Kenney fired-up.
Last week during a radio show Cathy said, "I think we are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say, 'We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage,'" Cathy said. "I pray God's mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to define what marriage is about."
Cathy later said that he is supportive of the "biblical definition of the family unit."
In a letter to Cathy, Kenney wrote: "It is with profound disillusionment and a sense of deep sadness that I write this letter in response to your recent comments. Last week you expressed support for denying gay Americans the prized right of marriage that heterosexual couples in this country so freely take for granted."
"As an American you are legally entitled to your opinion, regardless of how insensitive and intolerant it may be, but as a fellow American and an elected member of Philadelphia City Council; I am entitled to express my opinion as well. So please – take a hike and take your intolerance with you. There is no place for this type of hate in our great City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection."
And when City Council returns in September, Kenney said he will introduce a resolution condemning Cathy and the company. Check out the rest of Kenney’s letter here.
The new Sandusky Tenderloin Restaurants are coming to Boston, San Francisco, Chicago and Philadelphia.
There are 33 Chik Fil A location according to their website in the Philly area...
They should send out pink slips with Philadelphia city Councilman at Large Kenny phone number on it since we plan to close all restaurants because he wants “Chik Fil A to take a hike”
You don’t want us, we will make sure your Constituent understand your position...that you really don’t need our jobs...or tax revenue we generate...
See how fast he backpedals...
Ha, telling 33 restaurants to “take a hike” is not smart. Guess Kenny is not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree.
He must be a moron...why inject yourself into controversy that basically will make somebody mad...no matter what you say...
This is a bit off subject, but what happened with the Cradle of Liberty Boy Scout Council? Were they able to keep their building?

He must have been having a politically correct noble moment. . . ;)
It sounds to me like this city council critter is the one who is intolerable and insensitive to other people’s opinions. So, maybe he should take a hike!
But how can you argue with a guy whose city gets over 100% voter turnout in some precincts?
Great! So far I have convinced three of my neighbors to go with us on Aug 1st and will continue to work on more.
Additionally our daughter lives near one in Northern NJ and since my birthday is coming up and I really do not like receiving gifts (don’t know why, just makes me uncomfortable) I have asked her to take her son to the C F A near her and buy lunch iinstead of spending her money on me.
