The town of Essex has quite a dramatic history. It gained fame as a shipbuilding community and port bolstered by a healthy fleet of privateers during the War of 1812 years. Those years weren't kind to.

A Greenwood Township restaurant was temporarily closed by Pennsylvania s Department of Agriculture after it was found to be in violation of the state s COVID-19 restrictions on dining.
Aunt Bee s Restaurant, 17408 Smock Drive, was among 33 restaurants closed by order from the department during a round of inspections which occurred from Dec. 21 to 27, according to an announcement from the department Tuesday. The restaurants were closed after the department confirmed they were open for dine-in service and did not comply with the order while an inspector was present.
Of those 33 restaurants, Aunt Bee s is the only one to have subsequently ceased performing dine-in service, thus allowing the closure order against it to be lifted.
