A local family told me that at one time that pier was covered overhead with a sort of chicken wire, reason not known and this is why it was nicknamed chicken run. Ive put a letter in the local paper to ask if anyone knows the reason but it has not yet appeared. Will keep you informed

Where does the phrase dead ringer come from?
