I heard a rumor that Applebee's in MC is closing this week. This would be a sad state of affairs for the mall if the rumor is true.

I read somewhere that Michigan City once had 300 bars and taverns.

Michigan City, I believe, has filled it's available quota of liquor licenses. I seem to remember that when the Olive Garden was trying to first build here, they had to buy an existing liquor license from one of the neighborhood bars on Ohio Street to allow them to construct a bar area.

Olive Garden bought the liquor license from the former Cedar Tap by Ames Field. The Cedar Tap property is now an eye doctors office.

They left the label scar on Applebee's. On the building facade you can still see where it read's Neighborhood Bar & Grill and they also turned the Marquette Mall Marquee sign around but you can easily see through it and read Applebee's inside out.
