Although I know there is a city ordinance against it, I have often heard and seen livestock inside the Houston city limits. In the past, I recall seeing horses stabled at Milam & Gray and along Braeswood just inside the loop, and there used to be a ‘petting zoo’ at the corner of Westheimer and Brazos. Today, I still can hear rooster crowings coming from the other side of Taft and Gray if I manage to wake up early enough. However, I was quite a bit taken aback when driving down Bissonnet the other day when I saw a chicken in the parking lot of the Raven Grill.

And not a Popeye’s in sight.
