Scope and content
The Villa Plaza Shopping Center's parking lot is rapidly filling up as local residents hurry to take advantage of the 29 cent chicken barbecue on August 4, 1960. Long lines of people snake through the lot on the J.C. Penney/Woolworth section of the shopping center. The smell and smoke of barbecued chicken drifts through the air as thousands of chicken legs and thighs are being tendered to by the many cooks. The one-day BBQ offered chicken, rolls, butter and coffee for a mere 29 cents. The previous year saw 10,000 people enjoy the chicken barbecue at the second anniversary celebration of the Villa Plaza Shopping Center. Photograph ordered by Gene Burlson, Kent. (TNT 8-3-60, B-1,2)
