Monroeville, PA Chick Fil-A report: Arrived 12:15. Decided to park a block away and walk over so I could talk with people. Line was out the door, everyone super nice and polite. Drive-through into the adjoining parking lots. I talked to a wonderful woman in her 70’s that heard about it from a friend, and she noticed how many people were talking about hearing about this from email or facebook. I believe I was able to convince her to come to a Tea Party event, which had much of the same atmosphere. There were people wearing shirts that said “Keep God In This City” sprinkled in the crowd. Most of these folks were black, by the way (interesting only from a political demographic). Old and young, some military. Service was fast, efficient and the food was great. BIG FREAKIN’ WIN!

Western Philly ‘burbs:

The drive through line snaked around the building and out on the Business Rt. 30.

The parking lot was full. People were parking at Best Buy and Home Depot and walking over. The inside was standing room only.
