After 68 years in business, a Jefferson Hills restaurant is closing its doors.

The Blue Flame, located on Route 51, will close Sunday, March 24.

“We would like to take this opportunity to thank the people that have been so important to us over the years,” says a Facebook post in part. “Many of the customers that have supported us over the decades initially arrived as strangers and have become good friends.”

The restaurant was opened by Les George Sr. in 1956.

UK's autonomous vehicle legislation becomes law, paving the way for first driverless cars by 2026
The U.K.'s self-proclaimed "world-leading" regulations for self-driving cars are now official, after the Automated Vehicles (AV) Act received royal assent -- the final rubber stamp any legislation must go through before becoming enshrined in law. "While this doesn’t take away people’s ability to choose to drive themselves, our landmark legislation means self-driving vehicles can be rolled out on British roads as soon as 2026, in a real boost to both safety and our economy," Transport Secretary Mark Harper said in a statement. Today's news comes just a few weeks after U.K.-based Wayve raised more than $1 billion from high-profile companies including SoftBank, Nvidia, and Microsoft to continue developing a self-learning software system for autonomous vehicles.
