New Hope PA Food King Louis Expands Empire Further West with New Bakery
By Charlie Sahner
Louis Zanias, owner of popular New Hope PA restaurants Karla's and Zoubi on West Mechanic Street, several months ago opened a catering/bakery operation and has now apparently been approved to open a full retail bakery at an adjacent location he owns at the corner of New and Mechanic Streets.
Of course, New Hope PA already has an eat-in French bakery (not that Louis is French or the new bakery has seating) further north by the river, but a high quality bakery of any type would be welcome in this particular section of town, not far from new (albeit unsold) housing, parking, Village II and stereotypically doughnut seeking law enforcement personnel.
Louis is a cunning businessman and landowner who's not afraid to play hardball in expanding his empire, in this author's view.
He is also smart, and a new bakery is good news for New Hope.

Opinion: New Hope PA Visitors Center Stripped of Historic Antiques
A 170-year-old table and other pieces of furniture were removed from the New Hope PA Visitors Center according to the Bucks County Herald so that they can be used in the expensive church New Hope's Borough Council purchased and is renovating for their new offices.
In the Herald photo above, a visitors center worker is depicted sitting on the irreplaceable artifact, apparently laughing.
It's disappointing that New Hope's Borough Council and Chamber of Commerce don't have enough faith in the native talent of our town to believe we are fully capable of promoting ourselves, and have chosen instead to pay a small marketing firm in Bensalem, PA to do it for us.
It's also disappointing to see another local news media outlet demonstrate the journalistic sensibility of Pravda.
Meanwhile, get your ass off our table.
It is the property of the taxpayers of New Hope PA.

Public Given Until Jan 15 to "Share Thoughts" on New Hope-Solebury Teachers' Contract
The New Hope-Solebury School Board and administration are scheduled to begin negotiations this month with the teachers' union over a new contract for July 1.
Says the School Board: "We would like to hear from parents, students, and other members of the community about your views concerning negotiations and a new teacher’s contract. We ask that you contact us prior to January 15, 2010 to share your thoughts at our school board e-mail address: schoolboard@nhsd.org. "
"Contract negotiations are necessarily conducted in private, and our Board will therefore be limited as to the specifics of public statements regarding the substance of the negotiations. However, we value your opinion, and to the extent possible, the Board will make every effort to keep the community informed about the status of negotiations."
Now sit up straight and stop mumbling, darn you!
