Good morning, Valparaiso.

Rosati's has taken over the former Sanfratello's Pizza spot plus a new donut shop and the openings of Scooter's and Harold's follow the closures of Dairy Belle and Tony's Table in town.

Pizza Hut will bring back its retro dining style using red cups and checkered tablecloths at three Northwest Indiana locations, offering a nostalgic meal experience for local fans.

The renewed look is expected to attract diners looking for a classic twist on the familiar chain.

On Saturday, June 6 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., local living history events will feature Civil War re-enactments at the Memorial Opera House (20 Indiana Ave) and free walking tours at the Porter County Museum.

INDOT said that CSX Railroad closed U.S. 20 at crossing between Ardendale Avenue and County Line Road after work began Monday, June 1.

The road will remain closed for five days while local access is maintained and drivers use the detour via State Road 49, Interstate 94 and U.S. 421.
