"The Big Chicken" at least? LOL
You must have broke down right at Windy hill or Delk Road or got towed up to US41 to have caught the show.
I'm a Troy MI transplant (79 when I was 13). When we moved here we kept Getting directions "Make a right at the Big chicken" My folks were kind of "OK " and went wit hit...yep...its a big chicken. They wanted to tear it down and there was a revolt as nobody would be able to find their way around in both the sky (Pilots use it as reference) and ground if it was gone.
