I have heard from 2 different non-Buffett fans there is one coming this spring. Anyone have any info?

I heard something about this about 6 months ago and haven't heard anything else until now.

But since JB sold most of the CIP rights to the Outback Steakhouse people, and there's obviously an Outback in Evansville near I-64, there's as good a chance as any other town to have a CIP there.

I go to a university in Evansville so I'm crossing my fingers!!!

I work at one of the local tv stations here. Just had it CONFIRMED. Details should be in the business section of tomorrow's Courier and Press.

Now if we can just get Jimmy here to open it up!

BigR-KyParrothead, may I ask which station?

My dad is an executive producer at WNIN and he knows lots of the people in town that work at the different TV and radio stations. Just curious!

Thanks, for the info, by the way!

I work at NEWS 25, in the sports department

That's awesome. When I was in high school yall's sports department was great to/for our football team with coverage, and also in my experience working for the UE men's basketball team.

I'm not sure how long you've worked there, but if it's been more than a couple years you may remember lots of coverage about Webster County's football team (and the miracle season after the young head coach's untimely death). If you remember that, that was my junior year.

(Man, time for me to stop living in the past!

The confirmation is now OFFICIAL. There is a story already on the courier's website, in the business section. Plans on being open by November "or earlier"

COME ON JIMMY, OPEN THIS BABY UP!

I went to the website and saw that same story--I've been on the horn ever since telling people that will appreciate the news.

Now I have a new goal: get a job there.
