It’s like something out of a “Seinfeld” episode, where a bright red light from a Kenny Rogers chicken joint shines day and night through apartment windows, leaving residents sleepless. For at least one resident living near Lake Lanier Olympic Park on Clarks Bridge Road in Gainesville, this fictional tale is all too real. Burton Urbanick has complained about his sleepless nights caused by a bright digital advertisement for Springer Mountain Farms chicken on the side of the timing tower at the venue.
