WORK on the demolition of homes on Hunter Street is due to start today. The Coal Board announced it would demolish the houses from June 7 after a mine shaft was discovered underneath the properties. The organisation purchased the seven homes from residents after the abandoned shaft was discovered in 2018 causing the properties to be unsafe. The demolition is expected to take 14 weeks and will be carried out by contractors. Mick Owens, principal project manager of the Coal Authority’s Public Safety and Subsidence team, said: “To keep residents in Workington safe we need to drill and grout a historical mine shaft discovered under homes in Hunter Street.
Phil Weaver shut the doors to Lancaster Countyâs biggest restaurant on March 16, 2020, complying with an order issued by Gov. Tom Wolf to close all indoor dining establishments and bars in the hopes of curtailing a dangerous virus.
That day, Weaver said, was one of the first times he realized COVID-19 posed a serious threat. And while the governorâs initial order presented a significant hit to his business, it was only supposed to last two weeks all it would take to âflatten the curveâ of virus infections.
Two weeks turned into two more weeks. Then it was a color-coded guideline for when counties could begin to reopen. All the while, Weaverâs buffet-style restaurant, Shady Maple Smorgasbord in East Earl, remained closed for indoor dining and offered limited takeout options.
Mick s All American Pub is set to bring a plethora of menu options under one roof in Lebanon come the early fall after successes in three central PA locations situated in Lancaster County. Lebanon clicks all the check boxes, said Mick Owens, owner of the chain. It s a pretty natural progression.

Initial conversations around a Lebanon branch began about three years ago, and the idea returned during the pandemic in 2020, Owens said. The pub is set to be located in North Cornwall Commons, near the Lebanon Valley Exposition Center and Fairgrounds and several nearby hotels.
