Mention has been made here of Little Frenchie's, a fried chicken joint that
is a knock-off of the real Frenchy's on Scott.

Friday on the east side, where Waco crosses I-10, I spotted a sign on a building
that said "Frenchey's" in a style of lettering and colors that were definitely
suggestive of the old Frenchy's chain, before Popeye's came to town.  

I had just noticed the extra "e" when the light changed and horns started
honking and I had to move on.  Could've been a barber shop or dry cleaners
for all I could tell, so I looked it up in the phone book when I got home.
 Whuddaya know, they serve fried chicken.

I wish the real Frenchy would capitalize on the fame of the name and establish
some more locations.
