Homework for today.

Here's an entirely serious question: Of the following, which actually are "locally-owned, New Albany restaurants"? Note that some have multiple locations.

Waffle & Steak
Domino's Pizza
Little Caesar's
Papa John's
Tumbleweed
Applebee's
Pizza Hut
Frisch's Big Boy

The reason for my asking is this:

Precision in language? Sorry, I suppose it's a fault of mine.

Meanwhile, One Southern Indiana Newspaper stays atop the situation in Clarksville, where a new chain installation is eagerly pumping money out of the local economy to corporate HQ in Columbus, Ohio: Something to crow about: BC Roosters opens near Green Tree Mall.

Obviously, skirting the issue by the ownership of a franchise. I have no idea who owns any of those franchises but I find it hard to believe that all of the owners live in New Albany.

With the recent popularity of misguided attempts, thank goodness an actual buy local movement is afoot. There's a lot of education to be done and plenty of room on the bandwagon for those willing to learn.
