📜 This Week in Indiana History 📜

Tornado Outbreak Rips Through Indiana (1990)

On June 2–3, 1990, one of the deadliest tornado outbreaks in Indiana history tore across the state. The event was part of a larger Midwest outbreak that produced 65 total tornadoes across the Ohio Valley and Wabash Valley regions, 37 of which touched down in Indiana alone. The storms claimed 8 lives in Indiana and injured hundreds more, while causing widespread property damage across numerous counties.

Among the hardest-hit areas was Pike County, where a powerful F4 tornado developed west of Union and carved through the small unincorporated community before continuing on through the county seat of Petersburg. It killed 6 individuals, left 60 injured, and leveled nearly everything in its path, from a nursing home to businesses, homes, and an elementary school.

🎧 How a Burger Chain Survived 60 Years in the Restaurant Business 🎧

🎙 On today's show I sat down with Perry and Blake Fogelsong of Clancy's Hospitality, a multi-generation, family-owned restaurant group operating seven restaurants across Indiana and Ohio.

The company's start came in 1965 with Indiana Restaurant Hall of Fame member Carl Fogelsong's Clancy's Hamburgers double drive-thru burger concept that expanded to over 30 locations across four states, then declined as national chains entered their small-town markets and the late-'70s oil crisis hit.

After Perry graduated college in 1981, he proposed shifting into "casual theme restaurants," creating Grindstone Charley's, which grew to 13 locations before facing similar competitive pressure.

Our conversation covers how they rebranded toward chef-driven, experience-forward concepts like Grindstone Public House, Grindstone on the Monon, Clancy's at The Garage, and the People Magazine/OpenTable–recognized Fountain Room, plus the new Noblesville hi-fi cocktail lounge, The Pretender, opening in July, and the realities of thin restaurant margins, real estate, and staffing.
