This is the KFC right next to Glenmont station.  Pretty crazy, if you ask me...

This was posted as a comment.  Hilarious:

End of the Word Home Town Blues
The day before the world ended I wasn't planning much
Oh day before it all ended I wasn't planning much
Headed to the KFC to buy a bucket of lunch

Just wanted a breast a leg and a soda supersized
I ordered some cole slaw too and a double side of fries
I reached for my ATM card when something passed my eyes

It was the Ride On bus making a stop to my surprise
Said the Ride On bus rolled up short to everyone's surprise
That big blue bus smashed through the window just like it could fly

The day before the world ended I wasn't planning much
Oh day before it all ended I wasn't planning much
Headed to the KFC to buy a bucket of lunch

I'm sure it was a sign of something but I don't know what
It must be a sign of something but lord I don't know what
Next time I want some grease I'm going to the Pizza Hut

WOW!  Quite frightening, indeed.  What's up with the duct tape?  Was that there before the accident?  Interesting how the tire is flat too.  Glad the injuries were minimal, though.

Since it's been nearly four months since the accident, I'm wondering if anyone's seen Ride On 5008 out and about.  The KFC hasn't been touched since the collision (still damaged and still closed), but I've not heard anything else about the bus.  Has anyone seen it back on the road?
