Pizza Hut was founded on June 15, 1958, by two brothers, Dan and Frank Carney, both Wichita State students, as a single location in Wichita, Kansas. Six months later they opened a second outlet and within a year they had six Pizza Hut restaurants. The brothers began franchising in 1959. The iconic Pizza Hut building style was designed in 1963 by Chicago architect George Lindstrom and was implemented in 1969.

PepsiCo acquired Pizza Hut in November 1977. Twenty years later, Pizza Hut (alongside Taco Bell and Kentucky Fried Chicken) were spun off by PepsiCo on May 30, 1997, and all three restaurant chains became part of a new company named Tricon Global Restaurants, Inc. The company assumed the name of Yum! Brands on May 22, 2002.

Before closing in 2015, the oldest continuously operating Pizza Hut was in Manhattan, Kansas, in a shopping and tavern district known as Aggieville near Kansas State University. The first Pizza Hut restaurant east of the Mississippi River was opened in Athens, Ohio, in 1966 by Lawrence Berberick and Gary Meyers.

The company announced a rebrand that began on November 19, 2014, in an effort to increase sales, which had dropped in the previous two years. The menu was expanded to introduce various items such as crust flavors and 11 new specialty pizzas. Work uniforms for employees were also refreshed. In 2017, Pizza Hut was listed by UK-based company Richtopia at number 24 in the list of 200 Most Influential Brands in the World.

On June 25 and 27, 2019, it was reported that Pizza Hut was bringing back their logo and the red roof design that was used from 1976 until 1999.

On August 7, 2019, Pizza Hut announced its intention to close about 500 of its 7,496 dine-in restaurants in the US, by the middle of 2021.^]The first Pizza Hut opened on June 15, 1958, in Wichita, Kansas.

On August 18, 2020, it was announced that Pizza Hut will be closing 300 restaurants after the bankruptcy of NPC International, one of its franchise providers. A company representative stated, “We have continued to work with NPC and its lenders to optimize NPC’s Pizza Hut restaurant footprint and strengthen the portfolio for the future, and today’s joint agreement to close up to 300 NPC Pizza Hut restaurants is an important step toward a healthier business

Concept
Pizza Hut is split into several different restaurant formats: the original family-style dine-in locations; storefront delivery and carry-out locations; and hybrid locations that have carry-out, delivery, and dine-in options. Some full-size Pizza Hut locations have a lunch buffet, with “all-you-can-eat” pizza, salad, desserts, and breadsticks, and a pasta bar. Pizza Hut has other business concepts independent of the store type.

In 1975, Pizza Hut began testing concepts with Applegate’s Landing.[22][23] These restaurants had exteriors that looked like Colonial Style houses and had eclectic interiors featuring a truck with a salad bar in the bed. The chain offered much of the same Italian-American fare, such as pizza and pasta dishes with some additions like hamburgers and bread pudding. Applegate’s Landing went defunct in the mid-1980s except for one location in McPherson, Kansas that closed in fall, 1995.

An upscale concept was unveiled in 2004, called “Pizza Hut Italian Bistro”. At 50 U.S. locations, the Bistro is similar to a traditional Pizza Hut, except that the menu features new, Italian-themed dishes such as penne pasta, chicken pomodoro, and toasted sandwiches.[25] Instead of black, white, and red, Bistro locations feature a burgundy and tan motif.[26] In some cases, Pizza Hut has replaced a red roof location with the new concept. Pizza Hut Express locations are fast food restaurants; They offer a limited menu with many products not seen at a traditional Pizza Hut. These stores are often paired in a colocation with WingStreet in the US and Canada, or other sibling brands such as KFC or Taco Bell and found on college campuses, food courts, theme parks, bowling alleys, and within stores such as Target.

Vintage locations featuring the red roof, designed by architect Richard D. Burke, can be found in the United States and Canada; several exist in the UK, Australia, and Mexico. In his book Orange Roofs, Golden Arches, Phillip Langdon wrote that the Pizza Hut red roof architecture “is something of a strange object – considered outside the realm of significant architecture, yet swiftly reflecting shifts in popular taste and unquestionably making an impact on daily life. These buildings rarely show up in architectural journals, yet they have become some of the most numerous and conspicuous in the United States today.”

Curbed.com reports, “Despite Pizza Hut’s decision to discontinue the form when they made the shift toward delivery, there were still 6,304 traditional units standing as of 2004, each with the shingled roofs and trapezoidal windows signifying equal parts suburban comfort and strip-mall anomie.” This building style was common in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The name “red roof” is somewhat anachronistic now since many locations have brown roofs. Dozens of these restaurants have closed or been relocated or rebuilt.

Many of the older locations with the red roof design have a beer if not a full bar, music from a jukebox, and sometimes an arcade. In the mid-1980s, the company moved into other formats, including delivery or carryout and the fast food “Express” model.

Horseshoe Curve! In American railroading, there are few places that evoke more history and drama. Horseshoe Curve was J. Edgar Thompson’s engineering marvel and the signature achievement of the Pennsylvania Railroad’s 1850s crossing of the Allegheny Mountains. More than a century-and-a-half after its construction, the Horseshoe Curve route remains bustling and dramatic as a key Norfolk Southern rail artery – and soon, it’s coming to Train Sim World 2!
The upcoming Train Sim World 2 Horseshoe Curve route will re-create Norfolk Southern’s contemporary crossing of the rugged Alleghenies and deliver the opportunity to haul tonnage ranging from priority intermodals to ponderous coal behind high-horsepower NS diesels.
To climb the eastern slope of the Alleghenies, the Pennsylvania Railroad faced the daunting task of ascending nearly 1,000-feet in elevation between Altoona and Gallitzin, Pennsylvania. To do so required a torturous and twisting climb with a 1.85 percent ruling grade, and even that was achieved only through the building of 3,612-foot-long Allegheny Tunnel at the summit and the line’s masterstroke, the great horseshoe-shaped curve at Kittanning Point, which itself carries the line from an elevation of 1,473 feet on its east end to 1,706-feet on its west side.
As part of the Pennsylvania’s Pittsburgh Division, Horseshoe Curve and the Allegheny crossing from Altoona on the east to Johnstown, Pennsylvania on the west was (and is) one of America’s busiest and most critical railroad arteries, home to a seemingly endless passage of tonnage and passenger trains, including PRR’s premiere Broadway Limited. And Horseshoe Curve itself was far from the route’s only classic and memorable location, which included the Gallitzin, Allegheny, and New Portage Tunnels, remote MG Tower, the steep eastbound “Slide,” key coal feeder lines at Cresson and South Fork, and the sprawling yards and Juniata shops at Altoona.
After more than an uninterrupted century of being one of the gemstones of the great Pennsylvania Railroad – known as “The Standard Railroad of the World” – the Horseshoe Curve route, during the latter half of the twentieth century, entered a time of tumultuous change. On February 1, 1968, the Pennsylvania Railroad merged with its long-time rival, the New York Central, to form the Penn Central. Integration of the two sometimes bitter rivals proved problematic and, burdened with miles of duplicative and often unproductive trackage, the 20,000-mile Penn Central in 1970 entered a bankruptcy from which it would never reemerge. By the mid-1970s, under the auspices of the United States Railway Association, it was decided to roll Penn Central together with other troubled Northeastern railroads, thus forming Conrail.
Given its status as an amalgamation of not only bankrupt Penn Central but other equally troubled railroads, many observers held little hope for Conrail, but like a phoenix it rose from the ashes of Penn Central to become one of railroading’s greatest success stories. As part of the 12,000-mile Conrail system, the Horseshoe Curve route served as a vital rail link between the American east coast and Midwest and its infrastructure was modernized to contemporary requirements, including a reduction of the line around Horseshoe Curve from four to three tracks. Having admirably and remarkably served its purpose of rejuvenating eastern railroading, most of Conrail was divided in 1999 between eastern rail giants Norfolk Southern and CSX. Norfolk Southern acquired the lion’s share of Conrail (7,200 miles) including the Horseshoe Curve route, which now serves as a busy segment of Norfolk Southern’s Pittsburgh Line.
Today, the Horseshoe Curve route remains one of railroading’s greatest shows of big-time, tough, mountain railroading, constantly humming with traffic ranging from double-stack container trains to coal tonnage, manifest freights, grain, oil, and autos. And the line is also host to Amtrak’s New York-Philadelphia-Pittsburgh Pennsylvanian.
As developed for Train Sim World 2 by Skyhook Games, the upcoming Horseshoe Curve route extends 40 route miles from the renowned railroad town of Altoona and its sprawling Junita Shops to Johnstown, Pennsylvania, climbing over the daunting and scenic spine of the Allegheny Mountains and representing the railroad circa 2018. The route also features a portion of Norfolk Southern’s steep (with grades of up to 3 percent) and historic South Fork Secondary line extending 15 miles from South Fork to a coal mine near Windber, Pennsylvania.
The upcoming Train Sim World 2 Horseshoe Curve route will feature Norfolk Southern’s powerful third-generation workhorse, the six-axle, 4,400-horsepower General Electric ES44AC, as well as the versatile NS Electro-Motive GP38-2. To replicate the diverse traffic flow over the Horseshoe Curve route, a full range of modern freight equipment will be provided with the route. And with the upcoming Train Sim World Horseshoe Curve route, you’ll be ready to climb aboard and immediately take the throttle for challenging and realistic railroading with a selection of four training tutorials, five scenarios, and a variety of timetabled services.
In the coming days here at Dovetail Live, we’ll be taking a further look at the legendary Horseshoe Curve route, its locomotives, features, and operations, so stay tuned! – Gary Dolzall

Snaking its way past rivers, through rocky valleys, and into the beautiful Eastern German Hills, Tharandter Rampa: Dresden – Chemnitz will be arriving soon on Train Sim World 2. We take a look at some of the features you can look out for as you climb through this challenging and historic route towards your final destination of Chemnitz Hbf.Situated in the Eastern German state of Saxony, Tharandter Rampa forms part of the Deutsche Bahn’s Dresden to Werdau Railway. With parts of the line dating back to the mid-1800s, it is one of Germany’s oldest routes and has adapted consistently as railway technology and the capacity of the line has evolved. The start of the modernisation of the route began as early as the 1960s, its electrification heralded a new era of locomotives and more economical transit across the routes inclines that at times reach an incredible 1 in 39. The modern electric locomotives rendered previously vital banking locomotives redundant and brought huge advantages to operations along the entire route.The route is also home to the unique DB BR 612 DMU, designated as the RegioSwinger by manufacturer Bombardier, this curious multiple unit is the first tilting train to appear in Train Sim World 2. The maximum tilt it can achieve is 8°, although this sounds like a modest amount, once onboard passengers certainly feel the angle of the train change, they also benefit from the reduced journey times this brings as the train no longer needs to slow down on the winding curves of the route, whereas a non-tilting train would do so regularly.

The Arosa Linie core route is all you will need to activate the update when it becomes available, and owning the Anniversary pack is not a requirement for those of you looking forward to these timetable updates.
We have a new addition to In Planning on the Roadmap, with an expansion pack coming for Train Sim World 2. This expansion will add new content to the original routes of Sand Patch Grade, Bakerloo Line and Schnellfahrstrecke Köln – Aachen. You can look forward to enjoying additional liveries, services, and scenarios for these routes as part of the pack. This pack will also include access to a new tool, the Creators Club, that will allow sharing and downloads of Livery Designer and Scenario Planner creations made by the community.
We are pleased to share that we are working towards an update for the red signal deadlocks which have been appearing more frequently for players across all routes recently.
There has been plenty of movement for the Preserved Collection updates as ongoing work moves from In Production to Upcoming, this signifies that the work Adam’s team has been doing has concluded and is now starting the process of being tested by our QA team.
We have also added a significant number of new additions from the Preservation Crew this week. We will be talking with Adam in detail on the stream about these new additions.
In case you missed it, Amtrak are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year, and to celebrate, they have wrapped an ACS-64 locomotive in a very special Train Sim World 2 livery. This particular Livery will also be available in the game and goes straight into Next Arrival. As a festive gift from us, you can get it entirely for free when you own Boston Sprinter.
Finally, we are pleased to share that our annual Year in Review Q&A will be going ahead on the 29th December. Get your questions in here beforehand and we will aim to answer as many as we can.

This our Christmas drama which will be performed on Monday 13th of December

This blog was made by Simon Schofield

christmas is an annual festival commemorating the birth of Jesus Christ, observed primarily on December 25 as a religious and cultural celebration among billions of people around the world. A feast central to the Christian liturgical year, it is preceded by the season of Advent or the Nativity Fast and initiates the season of Christmastide, which historically in the West lasts twelve days and culminates on Twelfth Night. Christmas Day is a public holiday in many countries,is celebrated religiously by a majority of Christians, as well as culturally by many non-Christians,and forms an integral part of the holiday season organized around it.

The traditional Christmas narrative, the Nativity of Jesus, delineated in the New Testament says that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, in accordance with messianic prophecies.When Joseph and Mary arrived in the city, the inn had no room and so they were offered a stable where the Christ Child was soon born, with angels proclaiming this news to shepherds who then spread the word.

Although the month and date of Jesus’ birth are unknown, the church in the early fourth century fixed the date as December 25. This corresponds to the date of the winter solstice on the Roman calendar. It is exactly nine months after Annunciation on March 25, also the date of the spring equinox. Most Christians celebrate on December 25 in the Gregorian calendar, which has been adopted almost universally in the civil calendars used in countries throughout the world. However, part of the Eastern Christian Churches celebrate Christmas on December 25 of the older Julian calendar, which currently corresponds to January 7 in the Gregorian calendar. For Christians, believing that God came into the world in the form of man to atone for the sins of humanity, rather than knowing Jesus’ exact birth date, is considered to be the primary purpose in celebrating Christmas.

The celebratory customs associated in various countries with Christmas have a mix of pre-Christian, Christian, and secular themes and origins. Popular modern customs of the holiday include gift giving; completing an Advent calendar or Advent wreath; Christmas music and caroling; viewing a Nativity play; an exchange of Christmas cards; church services; a special meal; and the display of various Christmas decorations, including Christmas trees, Christmas lights, nativity scenes, garlands, wreaths, mistletoe, and holly. In addition, several closely related and often interchangeable figures, known as Santa Claus, Father Christmas, Saint Nicholas, and Christkind, are associated with bringing gifts to children during the Christmas season and have their own body of traditions and lore. Because gift-giving and many other aspects of the Christmas festival involve heightened economic activity, the holiday has become a significant event and a key sales period for retailers and businesses. Over the past few centuries, Christmas has had a steadily growing economic effect in many regions of the world.

Flavours
Alongside the returning Pickled Onion and Flamin’ Hot (Mega Monster Munch only), two new flavours, Beef Burger and Spaghetti Sauce, were introduced. A wide range of Tazos, featuring images of the monsters, was produced, with one Tazo included in each bag.

Since then, various packaging changes and new flavours have been introduced. Monster Munch was later part of Walkers’ short lived “Snackshack” lineup during 1997–1998. A New Cheesy flavour replaced the Spaghetti Sauce Flavour at this time, and the Blue Monster was recoloured Yellow. Flamin’ Hot was later introduced in the multipacks at this time, replacing Beef Burger.

In April 1998, when Walkers changed their logo, Monster Munch changed their packaging. A Spicy flavour was released in August 2000, replacing Cheesy (with the Yellow Monster being retired in the process) and a new Purple Monster (which looked like the Pink Monster from the first era) was the main monster for that flavour.

In August 2001, Walkers announced a special Halloween variant of the Pickled Onion flavour that could turn the consumer’s tongue blue, and was promoted with The Beano and The Dandy comics and three ten-second spots that would air on Boomerang.[7]

On October 17, 2002, Walkers announced that the Roast Beef flavour would be reintroduced after a seven-year hiatus, replacing the Spicy flavour.[8] The packaging said “NEW” on the top and in front of the pack, as it was not the same flavouring as the Roast Beef that was previously sold. In October 2004, the Tongue variant of Pickled Onion returned for Halloween as a variant where the consumers tongue could either be blue or green.

A “Baked Bean” flavour was made available in February 2003 for Comic Relief, alongside Quavers, Wotsits and French Fries and standard Walkers Crisps. In April of that year, a “Vanilla Ice Cream” flavour was released to mostly negative reaction. This type of Monster Munch was non-savoury, and it contained sugar instead of salt.[9] The Tongue variant returned again that year with new Halloween-themed packaging, although it reverted to the 2001 version where it could only turn blue. This version returned for one more year in 2005.

In February 2007, Walkers changed the packaging for all their snack products, which were Quavers, Wotsits, Squares, French Fries and Monster Munch. This packaging reflected the usage of Sunseed Oil, which was used in all products. The Multipack bags were in a different layout, being in Landscape style. For Monster Munch, the logo was changed, but the monsters and flavours didn’t. However, for Monster Munch, This packaging style was short lived, as huge changes happened to the brand in September 2008. This packaging remained for the short lived Baked Monster Munch.

This are my favourite crips and like to have them.
