In the midsts of Marietta, at the intersection of the two major roads in the city, stands a North Georgia landmark. In all the urban and suburban sprawl it is unique. It's "The Big Chicken"

Everybody in North Georgia knows where "The Big Chicken" is and many directions are based on it. I once had an office "a quarter mile north of 'The Big Chicken'" Nothing else had to be said.
