The Old Neighbor

i've heard alot of stories about this place that used to be where mi ranchito is now (next to homer's). countless customers that are longtime overland park residents ask me if i remember john francis, but they never mention "chicken in the rough." does anyone know what that was supposed to mean, besides a chicken who can't golf?

My mom was showing me these pictures recently, Dave, and they were a lot of fun to see! She, too, joined the old OP group and I got to see a lot, including Smaks burgers joint, which was her first job! She remembers this place, so I'll have to ask her about it. :)

Okay, I know this may be the obvious thing to do for some of us...lol, I googled it:

I guess it's a fried chicken franchise that John Francis used as part of the restaurant there. I remember that the chicken was very good, but I also seem to remember that there was lots of other things on the menu too.
