History Updated: 27101 Euclid Good River Wellness Hit by Car

Good River Wellness, a medical dispensary, took over the Sidewalk Cafe at 27101 Euclid Avenue sometime in late 2022 or 2023. They have a nice logo and they made the building look modern, inside and out.

1974 Euclid Famous Recipe Chicken East 260th Underpass Ad

In October 1974 Famous Recipe Chicken in Euclid had a lot to celebrate! You see, the East 260th underpass was OPEN! No longer did you have to take some backwards roundabout way to get your hands on some delicious chicken, mashed potatoes, cole slaw, or buttery rolls!

Pictured in this ad is the gleaming new underpass on the southern end of East 260th street. This underpass allowed traffic to flow freely and safely, unencumbered by the frequent trains above.

Euclid leaders cutting the ribbon is pictured to the right. I think my favorite is the little Beetle heading towards the camera.

For a neat $1.25 you could score yourself a regular chicken dinner with 3 pieces of chicken, potatoes, cole slaw and 2 rolls AND! A red and yellow ball point pen emblazoned with the Famous Recipe Chicken logo!

History Lesson: Sidewalk Cafe Part V: Mr. Chicken

Mr. Chicken

On April 7 1982 the ads changed names, and not much else, to Mr. Chicken.
Even their logo is still the same! Impressive! This last ad is from 04-03-1986:
 Fast forward to 1989 and while the other locations are operational, 27101 Euclid Avenue is for sale.
Want to know what 27101 was before Mr. Chicken was put up for sale in 1989?

History Lesson: Sidewalk Cafe Part I: Happy Charlies

Sidewalk Cafe, 27101 Euclid Ave., Euclid, Ohio 44132
We were driving past the other day, and Guy remarked that he wondered if the Sidewalk Cafe was built as a McDonald's [because of the roof shape]. I didn't think this was the case, but it does have an interesting history and one I was completely unaware of.
