Does anyone seriously know where this place was? I mean really, all I see here and on the Internet are a lot of vague references to "outside of La Grange". One story here http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=stationinfo&id=3300910 says "They then drove down county gravel road 130 and around the bend just outside La Grange in Fayette county to the notorious Chicken Ranch" -- CR 130 in Fayette County is way north, near Ledbetter (E of Giddings), about 20 miles north of LaGrange. Some other stories say that Texas A&M students and soldiers [presumably from Fort Hood] would line up there -- this supports the idea of it being near Ledbetter rather than LaGrange. Can we get this LaGrange myth cleared up, or validated? -Rolypolyman 22:10, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
The date of Marvin Zindler's death is irrelevant to the article.
[edit] URL Update
I don't know how to edit the reference list, but the link to number 2 (the best little secret) needs to be changed to: http://209.189.226.235/aandmnews/anniversary/2chickenranch.htm The current link is no longer valid. Karinagw (talk) 19:41, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks, I fixed the link. Jacksinterweb (talk) 22:01, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Helicopter transportation
In the ==Edna Milton== section it mentions that "One base supplied a helicopter for soldiers to use for transportation to the ranch". I realize this is quoted/cited from the "Handbook of Texas", but is there anything else that can back this up? I just seems a bit unreasonable that the government would use helicopters to transport soldiers to the "Chicken Ranch". Not that it couldnt happen, but I just can't picture this happening.
