    Chick Fil A Swamped By Customers

    By Chicagoburbs  |  Posted August 1, 2012  |  Palos Heights, Illinois
     

    CNN PRODUCER NOTE     Chicagoburbs stopped by a Chick-fil-A in Palos Heights, Illinois, to photograph crowds of people showing up for lunch in support of the fast food company and its traditional values. So many people showed up that overflow parking was made available at a nearby Lowe's. "If I were going there for lunch, I think I'd end up eating dinner," he jokes. "It made me feel really good because everyone that I saw was friendly, happy and peaceful. They were just trying to make a statement."
    - stein0726, CNN iReport producer

    I'm attaching 3 pics showing the crowds being directed by Orland Park Ill police at their local Chick Fil A.

    Lowes, across the street, even invited with signage customers to use their parking lot!

    Regardless of your opinion regarding what constitutes marriage, the huge turnout in support of the free enterprise American way of doing business without government intervention (can you say Mayor Ron Emanuel?!) was certainly evident with this peaceful and respectful group of Midwestern Americans.
