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!
Between 1964 and 1968, this building homed Jorden's Happy Charlie Restaurant (with the little Buddha's). From 1968 until 1971, it became a Roy Rogers, 1971 to 1973 it was a short-lived restaurant called Love's.
This Famous Recipe Chicken (which still exists, just not in Euclid) was here from 1973 until 1982. From 1982 until 1989, it was a Mr. Chicken. For the longest while it was Sidewalk cafe, and it is currently Good River Wellness.
Didn't get to grab a chicken dinner and a free pen? Here's a picture of one still floating around, minus the chicken grease.
