Ed. Note: Feel free to shout out others here who deserve praise, or others for their SIDEWALKS of SHAME…

And this time it’s not simply for their delicious mouthwatering chicken at a reasonable price. Thanks to Matt for sending their magnificent snow cleanup – unlike their disgraceful neighbor 7-E.
