A city in Georgia is building a giant chicken in order to attract tourists.
Yes, you read the correctly.
I had to read the news story twice the other day when I first saw it.
According to this Associated Press article, the city of Fitzgerald, Georgia is building chicken that stands 62 feet tall. The giant chicken will also have plants growing out of its frame, so that it can be some sort of living chicken sculpture.
The city leaders believe that by spending so much money in this giant chicken plant, they will bring attention to their city, increase tourism and help the city with its economic development.
While it sounds like an amazing idea, I do have a few thoughts and questions about it:
