A restaurant in Detroit is making headlines for its unusual door.
Church's Chicken on Detroit's west side became a hot topic on social media when a Twitter user posted a picture of the restaurant's door, which is wooden like a normal house door.
Shantinique Brooks posted a photo of the door on Twitter Sunday, saying "I'm moving out of Detroit. Because who put a house door on the Church's Chicken?"
The post fueled a lively discussion on social media, getting more than 3,000 retweets and 14,000 likes in less than 24 hours.

Adding to her Twitter thread, Brooks said the manager probably puts a welcome mat on the inside and asks customers to take off their shoes.
