Ahh, ya beat me. I believe it's called "Buckeye Chicken"?
As for the closed KFC I noticed that last week and ideally some kind of urban infill would be great (the urban overlay has been implemented on High...). This sprawling area totally disconnects Clintonville from Old North Columbus.
Isn't that the place that says everything is just $1? That kind of scares me.
Mebbe fried chicken is the new Starbucks.
Yeah, I always giggle when I drive through "The Chicken District". ;)
We stopped going to KFC. We get probably 50% incorrect orders, and often, stale chicken.
Husband asked me what I'd prefer on that corner - a KFC or an abandoned KFC. hmm, that's a toughie... hopefully it won't stay shuttered for long.
Personally I think it'd make a great location for a Clintonville Graffiti Burger.

Are these the same people that did Buckeye Fried Chicken over on the East side?
"Buckeye Fry" used to be my spot when they were over on Livingston and I lived off Bryden.
I recently had a dream of a man in a white suit, holding out a dozen eggs to me from a balcony surrounded by live oaks draped in Spanish moss... THE COLONEL, TRYING TO SEND A MESSAGE FROM SHORES BEYOND? Clearly there is a disturbance in the Force. Go to the intersection of 5th and Cleveland at the stroke of midnight, close your eyes and spin thrice counterclockwise. If you survive, walk into whatever fried chicken establishment you are now facing, and order one drumstick. If any part of the fried coating forms the letters "ZEBULON", liquidate all of your assets and leave the country immediately. You're welcome.

On a related note, the veggie burger at graffiti burger is edible.
NO WHERE NEAR AS GOOD AS DEAD COW, but it's not bad.
The old Rallys is now BFC (Buckeye Fried Chicken), it used to be on Livingston and Alum Creek, most items on the menu are $1, they also have fried fish. Chicken Corner not only lives, it expands!!!!!! And I love Chicken Corner btw, but I prefer Raising Canes, that cane sauce is crack.

Cool, glad to hear they're back. I seem to recall the chicken being pretty good, but haven't been to the new place

The Chicken District. lol
Does this converted Rally's/BFC sell fried chicken livers? The last time
I had a craving for them, I couldn't find any in the District. To me, that's like not selling hummus in the Falafel District.
Good riddance! I'll take a vacant eyesore over that culinary vortex any day.
Buckeye Chicken is pretty dang good. $1 slices of sweet potato pie? Yes, please. They also have greens and some mac & cheese that is pretty decent for fast food. I haven't been to the new location, but was really sad when the one on Livingston & Alum Creek closed. I think the same owners have Burger Boys on Main with the best county fair style fries in the world.

Early contender for best post of the year. ;)
CU meet up in the chicken district!
I noticed the building has been repainted to a tan with a brown roof. All the signage is in a dumpster. Does anyone know what's going to replace the KFC?
