Beloved Louisville Restaurant Closing Its Doors After 96 Years
The Cottage Inn Restaurant on Eastern Parkway first opened in 1929. It became an incredibly popular spot because of their burgers, chicken and pork chops. Their customers also adored their signature sandwich, the Cottage Inn Hot Brown, which had turkey, bacon and cheese.
Back in February, the Cottage Inn sadly discontinued its breakfast service due to the rise in prices for eggs and other items.
Unfortunately for the Louisville community, the Cottage Inn announced on social media this May that it's now closing down for good.
"After many wonderful years serving up southern comfort food and good vibes, we're closing this chapter of Cottage Inn Restaurant," the establishment's Facebook post read. "It's been an honor to cook for you, laugh with you, and be a part of this amazing community. ... From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for all the love and support over the years."
Before fans of the Cottage Inn remove 570 Eastern Pkwy, Louisville, Kentucky from their GPS, it's worth noting that new ownership will take over the business.
"But don't worry — this isn't the end for this historic location," the Cottage Inn added. "New ownership is stepping in soon, and while things may look a little different, we're excited for what's ahead."
According to WDRB, the beloved restaurant will now be known as Parkway Diner. The current expectation is that it'll only be open for breakfast and lunch.
The Cottage Inn's staff will reportedly stick around for this new chapter.

Discarded fireworks damaged two homes in Lee's Summit, no injuries reported
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Overnight, the Lee's Summit Fire Department responded to several fireworks-related fires. Crews were dispatched to a reported structure fire near SW Summit Hill Drive and SW Pacific Dr. after smoke alarms alerted a resident to a fire burning outside the house. Wrong-way crash in KCK leaves one person dead, 5 others injured When firefighters arrived at the scene they found flames near the garage door that had spread up the front of the home and were beginning to burn through the roof's eave into the attic. Everyone was safe outside the home. The fire outside was quickly controlled, while crews worked to put out the flames that had spread into the attic and garage. Most of the damage was confined to the exterior of the home, but there was minor smoke and water damage inside. The cause of the fire was found to be fireworks that were discarded in the trash next to the house. Earlier Friday evening fire crews responded to a structure fire near NE Independence Avenue and E. Chipman Road where residents reported smoke in the basement. When firefighters arrived, nothing was visible from the outside, but they discovered and extinguished several floor joists that had been burned. An investigation found that fireworks had been discarded in the window well that caught dried grass on fire that spread into the basement through the window. In addition to these two house fires, fire crews dealt with a number of debris fires caused by improperly discarded fireworks. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Attack by homeless man in L.A. leaves woman, 52, with broken nose, concussion
A woman brutally assaulted by an alleged transient in Los Angeles' Los Feliz neighborhood is calling on city officials to do more to keep residents safe. The violence unfolded on June 18 when Donna DeChristopher, 52, was walking home from running errands in what she describes as a normally safe, walkable area near her residence on Sunset Drive. The 52-year-old spotted a homeless man that she's seen in the area and believes lives in a nearby encampment not far from Thomas Starr King Middle School. She says the man, described as a Hispanic male in his 20's, ran up to her and punch her in the face at least three times before she went unconscious. The 52-year-old, who said she suffered a concussion, a broken nose, complications with her eye and psychological street from the traumatic assault, said she may have been hit again while she was on the ground and blacked out. 2 brothers reported missing found dead off California highway Fortunately, a Good Samaritan who witnessed what happened came to help her. The 52-year-old is now calling on the police department, the district attorney and city leaders to do more to prevent these attacks, especially since there are children in the area who attend the nearby middle school. 'I know that so much is going on right now, but this should not be falling through the cracks,' DeChristopher told KTLA News. 'If this happens to me, I'm vocal. I don't want this to happen to anyone else. Who else has he attacked that he has hurt that is too afraid to come forward? Who is he going to hurt the next time he's out on the streets?' Councilmember Nithya Raman, who represents DeChristopher's district released the following statement: 'While our work has yielded results, including a 40% drop in the number of people living on the streets in our district last year, much more remains to be done and we will continue to deploy every resource available toward address this issue.' Just days after she was attacked, the Los Angeles Police Department arrested a homeless man believed to be DeChristopher's attacker, who has reportedly trespassed onto properties in the area. The man had a previous warrant out for his arrest and is currently being held without bail. KTLA has reached out to the district attorney's office for confirmation, asking if that arrest is linked to DeChristopher's assault and, if so, what charges he will likely be facing.
