The Applebee's Neighborhood Grill and Bar always tries to remain true to its name by decorating the interior to match the area that it's in.  Sometimes you see murals of local baseball and football teams on the restaurant's walls, along with recognizable scenes of area lakes and picnic spots, water towers, and other landmarks.

One East Texas city will talk about bringing an Applebee's to town at a meeting on Monday.
