There used to be a KFC next door to The Stranger offices, but they vacated the building and it sat empty until the most magical tenant appeared: Rancho Bravo, purveyor of fine Mexican flavors. The new owners kept the old decor and changed the cuisine. We thought it was the best thing since spiced beans. But, in retrospect, it's nothing compared to what folks did to an abandoned KFC in LA:

There have been marijuana dispensaries popping up all over Southern California of late, but this one is slightly different. Rather than tearing the whole thing down and starting from scratch, the proprietors of this alternative KFC decided to incorporate the design of the previous tenants. They have removed the official Kentucky Fried Chicken logo, but the rest of the building remains mostly intact.
They call it "Kind For Cures."
