The flood water were about to reach this restaurant in Quincy, Illinois on June 3, 2019. The water level was 30.46 feet with flood level being 17.0 feet. Today it is finally below flood level at 16.85 feet. The water was up to the edge of the road in front of Chicks and they had sandbagged in case it got higher. There were railroad tracks next to the road and they were underwater. Luckily the chickens stayed dry which is good, because nothing is worse then a wet chicken.
If you want to see all the flood pictures, start here and follow the links.
In case you are wondering about Chicken Lips, you can check out the menu here.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?
Nice and colorful place and a good shot of it Tick. Glad to hear that the water level is slightly below max height.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
This is a good one Tick, I like the building and the painting on it, I'm glad they did not get any damage. I wonder what the inside of this neat place looks like? tigs=^..^=

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
I mistook the title for a moment there!... 😈
They have been lucky in that they missed most of the flood damage...A good piece of 'Newsy' journalism from you again

Owd Fella Tick (OFT), when I saw only the title announced in my friends-list, I already knew that you wouldn't provide us with a capture of female beauties. I see that I was right. In my opinion, the subject matter is too serious to fool about it.
Good photojournalism again!
Thanks for the links. The latter one makes watering my mouth, although I just had enjoy a good breakfast, 😜 !

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
You had the perfect perspective for this shot to get some beautiful sky as well as Chicks - I'm glad the waters are down.

Dandy well composed shot Tick. Those sand bags tell the flood story.

Glad they escaped the flood. Funny though, here in Tampa, there's a restaurant called "Rick's on the river"
