I returned to my hometown in the late ‘80s with the initial goal of getting in a band that was on the circuit of clubs and festivals in the area that seemingly supported roots-oriented, musical activity.
The first Saturday of the new season saw a Queenslander steal the show at Randwick, The Astrologist star at Flemington, and hoops avoid the slaughter in another competitive go.
The restaurant scene saw a handful of changes in Lancaster County during the month of January.
Three eateries announced their future plans for locations in the county, two new restaurants opened up shop and one closed permanently.
Here are the restaurants that opened in Lancaster County in January
Witz End Pub has opened in Mount Joy in the former home of Rosieâs Tavola. The new restaurant and bar at 114 E. Main St. is owned by Brandon Zimmerman and Matthew Antol, who both formerly worked at Rosieâs, which closed in July. Zimmerman and Antol describe Witz End as an âeveryman pub, a punk-rock-style pubâ with a menu thatâs âwestern European with American flair.â Dishes include Scotch eggs made with ham loaf, fish and chips, and burgers made with brisket.

Zimmerman and Antol are both longtime restaurant workers who say the opportunity to own their own place arose because of the coronavirus pandemic, which prompted Rosieâs Tavola owner Bob Linkens to sell the business and liquor license, although he still owns the building.

The menu, which will be expanded as time goes on, will also feature shepherdâs pie and chicken pot pie.
