(La Porte, IN) - People hankering for a Whopper will have to go elsewhere to satisfy their taste buds for now.  The Burger King on Indiana 2 on LaPorte’s west side is being torn down.  Sources say a new and improved Burger King will go up in its place.

Crews on Monday were moving things out of the restaurant before the structure that's been there for more than 30-years is torn down.  

Some demolition work began today but when we can expect the new structure completed is unclear at this time.
