The Origin Of Texas Roadhouse Is Not At All Where We Thought

In 1993, the first Texas Roadhouse popped up in Clarksville, Indiana. As Beyonce might say, "This ain't Texas." Entrepreneur Kent Taylor made a strategic branding move when he established a restaurant that welcomed families and served steaks, ribs, and homemade sides at affordable prices. After securing investment, Taylor set to work creating an environment different from other contemporary restaurants. With wooden details and rustic decorations, the place felt like Texas. Country music played in the background as meals were gulped down and line dancing took place. Even the restaurant's mascot, an armadillo, hails from the Lone Star State.

Molly Malone's lists its two pubs, other property for sale

The building housing Molly Malone’s Irish Restaurant & Pub in Louisville's Highlands neighborhood is worth a lot of green.

The sale doesn't mean an Irish goodbye for Molly Malone's, which opened in the late 1990s at 933 Baxter Ave. Both the Louisville and Covington locations are expected to stay open. The owners are interested in a "sale-leaseback" agreement, Grisanti said, in which the property's buyer would lease the business back to the original owners of Molly Malone's so the pubs can continue to operate. Grisanti said the move comes as the owners "look toward the future" and "just want to sell all their real estate." The goal is to "continue to run Molly's with no changes and run it as it always has been for the last 30-plus years," he said. “They could have leased the properties that Molly Malone’s is in, but they actually own the property, so they want to sell the

The Dot Experience in Louisville: A New Museum Where Touch Is Encouraged

The Dot Experience opened Oct. 30, 2026, on the campus of the American Printing House for the Blind in Louisville, and the house rule is the opposite of the one parents repeat at most museums: touch is encouraged. The 28,000-square-foot museum tells the story of blindness, braille and the people who shaped both, and its ticket page promises “no off-limits objects.” Louisville is about two hours down I-65 from Indianapolis and on the same clock. Two adults and two kids ages 6 to 17 pay $64, children 5 and under are free, and parking costs nothing.
