    KFC, Popeyes, and McDonalds are not safe anymore, and I'm not talking about the food...

    ^In this city, no. Strange, but Popeye's is probably one of the few (if only) sub-standard fast-food chains that have survived in - only -urban areas across the nation. Unlike KFC, everything they offer is "cajun" or "spicy". Social workers care to chime in?
