Description: The Big Chicken in Marietta. GA was not originally built for a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant. S.R. "Tubby" Davis built it for his eatery called Johnny Reb's Chick, Chuck 'N Shake in 1956 at 12 Cobb Parkway in Marietta. Highway 41 had just been built. He thought it was a great way to advertise. In 1966, Davis sold the restaurant to his brother, who turned it into a KFC franchise.
Description: Baby Doe’s Matchless Mine was a three-story restaurant and bar jutted out over I-285 above the Chattahoochee River in the 1980s.With its tin roof, water tower, and tipple cars, the ramshackle wooden structure looked like a theme-park attraction. The entrance resembled a mineshaft, which led either up to the dining room or down to the bar and dance floor. Decor was fringed Victorian lampshade–meets–rusting pickax. This location at Powers Ferry Road was actually part of a seven-city national chain named for Elizabeth “Baby Doe” Tabor, an infamous gold-digger (silver, to be accurate) who married a wealthy Colorado mining mogul twice her age in the late 19th century.

Description: Who can forget the horror of the attack of The Big Chicken, which in October, 2004 activated rocket boosters and launched off of it's perch on top of a fast food establishment, and began spewing fire and laser beams, laying waste to businesses and unfortunate Cobb County residents passing by on the numerous walking paths in the area.
