Kentucky Fried Chicken

Kentucky Fried Chicken, KFC, är en snabbmatsrestaurangkedja i USA och många andra länder, som framför allt säljer friterad kyckling. Mannen som finns avbildad i KFC:s logotyp är företagets grundare Harland Sanders. Huvudkontoret ligger i USA och har smeknamnet "Vita Huset", på grund av att det liknar Vita Huset i Washington. Historia Den första KFC-restaurangen öppnades 1930 av Harland Sanders ("Colonel Sanders") i ett litet tankställe i Corbin i Kentucky. KFC står för Kentucky Fried Chicken men mellan 1991 och 2006 valde företaget att enbart använda sig av förkortningen KFC på grund av tvister med den amerikanska delstaten Kentucky. KFC i världen KFC har restauranger i 147 länder och regioner. Idag finns KFC-restauranger i så gott som alla europeiska länder, exempelvis 191 stycken i Tyskland, men Norge utgör ännu ett undantag som fortfarande helt saknar KFC-restauranger. KFC i Sverige Det första restaurangen i Sverige öppnades på Sveavägen i Stockholm 1981 men det stängdes efter en kortare tid på grund av hygienkraven inte uppfylldes. I februari 2014 aviserade Nordic Service Partners att man planerade en nylansering av KFC på franchisebasis i Sverige och den första nya restaurangen öppnades 27 november 2015 i Lockarp i Malmö. År 2023 fanns det 16 restauranger i landet. Källor Externa länkar Wikimedia Commons har media som rör Kentucky Fried Chicken. Officiell webbplats (engelska) Officiell webbplats (svenska)

Public reenactments of the battle have been conducted in October of some even-numbered years by the West Virginia Reenactors Association. The park was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.

Elkins Coal and Coke Company Historic District

The Elkins Coal and Coke Company Historic District is a historic industrial site near the crossroads village of Bretz in Preston County, West Virginia. It is the site of the last major coke manufacturing facility to use beehive ovens, and was a major industrial site in northern West Virginia in the first half of the 20th century. Surviving elements include a row of 140 beehive ovens. The site was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1983. Description and history The former Elkins Coal and Coke Company site is located about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) southwest of Masontown, West Virginia and 0.25 miles (0.40 km) west of West Virginia Route 7, on a terrace overlooking Deckers Creek. Built into the side of the hills rising above the creek are a series of 140 stone and brick coke ovens, formed in an undulating shape conforming to the terrain. Each oven is roughly 12 feet (3.7 m) in diameter and 7 feet (2.1 m) high, with an exterior shell of hand-cut stone. The openings for accessing the oven are lined with fire brick, as is the interior chamber in which the coke is made. At the top of each oven's dome is an opening into which coal is fed, and there is an arched opening on the side, from which the finished coke is removed. The shape of the oven focuses the heat of the fire to more efficiently transform the coal. When in operation, the ovens were fed from a track-mounted electrically powered hopper that ran on tracks above the ovens, and the finished coke was loaded onto railroad cars on a spur track that ran in front of them. The tracks facilitating these operations have been removed. The complex also originally had office, storage, and maintenance buildings, all of which have been demolished. The complex went into production in 1907, after the railroad had been developed to Masontown. It was established by Stephen B. Elkins, who was, along with his father-in-law Henry G. Davis, one of the barons of West Virginia's coal industry in the late 19th century. The ovens here are among more than 400 that Elkins and Davis built throughout coal country. Elkins operated this facility until 1918, when it was acquired by the Bethlehem Steel Company. Bethlehem only operated the facility until 1920, moving production to more efficient facilities in Baltimore. The facilities were thereafter used only intermittently, and were permanently shuttered in the 1980s.

Elm Grove Stone Arch Bridge

The Elm Grove Stone Arch Bridge, also known as the Monument Place Bridge, is the oldest extant bridge, built in 1817, in the U.S. state of West Virginia. The bridge carries U.S. Route 40 over Little Wheeling Creek in Elm Grove. The bridge was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 21, 1981. History Colonel Moses Shepherd (1763–1832), son of David Shepherd and Rachel (née Teague) Shepherd and first husband of Lydia (née Boggs) Shepherd Cruger (1766–1867), moved to Wheeling with his parents and siblings from Shepherdstown, West Virginia about 1771 and built his prominent home, Shepherd Hall, in 1798. Shepherd rose to prominence in the area and befriended House Speaker Henry Clay, a friendship credited with the National Road running through Wheeling as well as Shepherd being awarded contracts to construct all bridges along the National Road in Ohio County The construction on the bridge began in 1817 and was completed later the same year. The bridge saw remodeling in 1931 and reinforced in 1953. The bridge is still in use today, still carrying traffic along Route 40. Appearance The Elm Grove Stone Arch Bridge is a 3 span stone arched bridge. The bridge is constructed with solid uncoarsed limestone blocks. The bridge reaches 208 feet in length over the Little Wheeling Creek below. The middle arch spans 38 feet with two arches to either side spanning 25 feet. The arches are shaped in an ellipse pattern rather than the popular semicircular pattern for aesthetic reasons giving the bridge a "humpback" appearance. Original buttresses were removed in 1931 to make room for sidewalks on either side of the driving lanes. In 1953 the bridge was sprayed with gunite to reinforce and strengthen the bridge. The road has been paved with asphalt several times but has not destroyed the natural integrity in which it was designed and built in 1817.

Federal Correctional Institution, Beckley

The Federal Correctional Institution, Beckley (FCI Beckley) is a medium-security United States federal prison for male inmates in West Virginia. It is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, a division of the United States Department of Justice. An adjacent satellite camp houses minimum-security inmates. FCI Beckley is located approximately 51 miles southeast of Charleston, West Virginia and 136 miles northwest of Roanoke, Virginia. Notable incidents While they occur less frequently than at high-security prisons, serious acts of violence also occur at medium and minimum-security institutions such as FCI Beckley. In April 2010, FCI Beckley inmate Sylvester Cuevas, who was serving a sentence for mailing threatening communications, repeatedly punched a correction officer, causing the officer to sustain a broken nose and facial cuts. Cuevas was charged with felony assault and transferred to the Southern Regional Jail in Raleigh County, West Virginia pending court proceedings. Cuevas assaulted another correction officer at that facility in August 2010, who suffered a broken facial bone. On February 2, 2012, Cuevas pleaded guilty to felony assault in connection with both incidents and was sentenced to an additional eight years in prison. Cuevas was transferred to ADX Florence, the federal supermax prison in Colorado which holds inmates requiring the tightest security controls. He has since been moved to USP Atlanta.

Federal Correctional Institution, McDowell

The Federal Correctional Institution, McDowell (FCI McDowell) is a medium-security federal prison for male offenders in southwestern West Virginia. It also has an adjacent satellite prison camp which houses minimum-security male offenders. It is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, a division of the United States Department of Justice. The complex lies in a detached rural area about four miles north of the city of Welch. History In the early 2000s, the Bureau of Prisons identified McDowell County, West Virginia, as a potential location for a new federal correctional facility. A panel of BOP officials held a hearing in 2004 to give residents the opportunity to register their opinions regarding the project. Two hundred residents attended the hearing and were nearly unanimous in their approval, citing the hundreds of jobs the construction project would provide. The project eventually employed approximately 100 contractors, who further boosted the local economy by patronizing local businesses. The facility was completed in 2010 at an approximate cost of $223 million. The first inmates to arrive were assigned to the minimum-security prison camp and were immediately put to work in maintenance jobs. However, in a July 2010 article, West Virginia Public Broadcasting reported that local people were not landing as many prison jobs as expected. Out of the first 87 hires, only 12 were from McDowell County and 5 from bordering Wyoming County.
