OMG Seafood

I took this picture from the Long John Silver's across the street (September 2024), something we'll be covering soon.
I originally what would be this page (3227 S. Texas Avenue) for the "Texas Avenue in Bryan" page for Carbon-izer, a site I no longer really know what to do with despite trying to integrate it into this one. It is of course part of the same photo set of the defunct Planet K next door.

This was originally Church's Chicken for many years (opening around 1971, but originally with the address of 3207 S. Texas Avenue) but it closed in spring 2012. Austin-based El Pollo Rico opened a little less than a year later, swapping out the fried chicken the building once served for charcoal-grilled chicken. It was closed by January 2015 with Pollo Tote (a similar business, but a one-off) opening in June of that year, but by late 2016 it too was closed. OMG Seafood, a Cajun seafood restaurant, opened January 2018 and to their credit and seem to have done well (almost six years). The 2007 Street View is the only one that has the sign filled in.
