I breathed a sigh of relief when I found out the historic location of The Long Horn restaurant would be used for a new locally owned restaurant.

The Long Horn opened in 1959 and ran for 65 years in the 972-square-foot diner before closing in February 2024.

Since then, there has been speculation about what business would fill the space.

I spoke with Sean Alexander under the new sky blue paint that adorns the iconic triangular roof as he told me his plans to open a new restaurant called Build-A-Salad.
