Speaking of which, there was a very famous and very expensive steak house restaurant in Pasadena, California, for many years which had a golden rooster mounted on a weather vane on their roof. It was named "The Golden Cock." In this instance, of course, that word was a synonym for rooster!!! Or, more specifically, a golden rooster. They had the most wonderful red cabbage salad, steaks, etc. You paid for it, of course. But it was worth it.
They were located in the Clearman's Village, right next door to the North Woods Inn, which they also owned. Their name was quietly changed in the 1960's. Way too many bizarre phone calls, I suppose. At the time, I was working with the Auto Club in Pasadena, and people often asked about the place. Meanwhile, the auto club's phone number was one digit different from that of an infamous porno movie house, also located in Pasadena.
I am telling you, we got some very strange phone calls....
