LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) â Bars and restaurants in one Kentucky city are planning a do-over of New Yearâs Eve after a bomb scare caused police to evacuate a chunk of the downtown business district just as revelers were settling in.
Debbie Long, who owns the restaurant Dudleyâs on Short, told the Lexington Herald-Leader that her place was fully booked Thursday night, and she had just texted someone to say they were going to be able to make rent and be on good footing for the new year when the call came to evacuate, shortly after 8 p.m.
