'Franklin,' a giant red metal crawfish perched atop the Original Ragin' Cajun Seafood Restaurant at 4302 Richmond Ave, Houston, described by Roadside America as 'Texas-sized.' The restaurant began as Ray Hay's Cajun Po-Boys in 1974 and was renamed Ragin' Cajun in the early 1980s, when Franklin was added to the building's entrance -- a longtime Houston institution known for Louisiana-style Cajun food.
