Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Folks come from miles around for Chick-fil-A opening, free-meal coupons

By Bertrand M. Gutierrez
WINSTON-SALEM JOURNAL


A restaurant chain's opening-day promotion spawned an eclectic subculture of fast-food groupies in Winston-Salem yesterday.

Teeming in the parking lot of a new Chick-fil-A at Thruway Shopping Center, golden-year belles and college freshmen alike were setting up to camp out to be among the restaurant's first 100 customers today. For doing so, they will get 52 coupons for a free chicken-sandwich meal, a $260 value.

Feeding the belly is serious business.
