Adventures in Fried Chicken.....

Okay so here's the story: I had a doctor's appt this afternoon and Paul and I decided to grab a late lunch after the appointment. Several girls at work had told me about this great restaurant that was all home-cookin' with the best fried chicken you could ever have (yes, we did think of you Valerie). Since the restaurant was only about 15 minutes away from the doctor's office we decided to try it out. The girls were right the food was awesome and since it was after the typical lunch time there were very few people in the place. In fact it was only me and Paul and one other table with 3 guys probably in their late teens. We enjoyed our meal and headed on our way. The other patrons (the guys) had exited about 5 minutes ahead of us. We had no sooner got into our car when we heard shouting coming from the area about 2 cars over. Next thing we knew one of the guys that we had previously seen dining was at a full run going past the front of out car. When we looked in the direction of the shouting we saw the police wrestling another one of the guys to the ground. The parking lot was very small and we were not sure what was going on so we were unsure of what to do. Do we burn rubber and get the heck out of there? Do we stay put as to not get in the way? Do we crawl in the floorboard to avoid the potential danger? After several minutes we decided to get the heck out of dodge. We exited the parking lot with no problem as all the movement was at a standstill. Being the nosy person that I am (and because I was driving) I told Paul that we must go around the block and see if we could decipher what was going on, when we reached the backside of the building we saw the guy who had ran in front of our car crouched down laying on the ground, halfway under a parked car. We were on a one-way street and as I looked up there were several police cars coming at me (the wrong way) so I stopped our car and started motioning them where the guys was hiding. The next thing you know we had two police cars beside us and a fight was beginning among the suspect and several police officers. We decided to cut our losses and get out of there. We never did find out what happened. All we know is that a few minutes earlier we were sitting right next to these guys eating and they appeared to have no worries, not enough time had transpired between the time they left the restaurant and all this drama happened for a crime to have occurred. So who knows???? I can't help but mention that we were in a very affluent neighborhood, I am talking million dollar homes. I would have not been nearly as shocked if we were in a different place but to see all this drama in that neighborhood was crazy.

Once we were back on the highway and headed home I told Paul "I am so blogging this!!!" He just rolled his eyes at me and sarcastically remarked "yea, too bad you didn't have your camera with you!" So let this be a lesson to all bloggers: always carry your camera!!!

Hope everyone is having a great week!!
