Jim Dandy Chicken, an eatery on Vermont Ave. just north of the Rte. 105 freeway in South-Central Los Angeles, is in a low-income, mostly black neighborhood. When you walk in, you’ll notice a wall of bulletproof glass behind the counter stretching from wall to wall. It’s cash only, and you pay and receive your food through a slot with metal doors, just as you do for transactions at banks in high-crime areas. But there is always a line of customers, and the chicken is far better than what you find at Chick Filet or the Colonel’s.
We have a White Castle like that in Newark NJ; you couldn’t rob it if you tried, and they get paid before sliding your food through the prison-door slot. The only people in danger are the customers (from savages walking in off the street).
