The latest round of citations issued by the Pennsylvania State Police Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement for the month of January lists several Luzerne County establishments alleged to have violated COVID-19 protocol including a Harveys Lake restaurant that planned a New Year’s Eve party in defiance of state restrictions.
Fine Wine & Good Spirits has opened a new store in West Philadelphia at 5159 Lancaster Ave. The 2,700-square-foot retail space includes about 1,550 wines and spirits. Pennsylvania Lottery sales also are offered at the new store.
The Outfitter shuttle bus launched its runs between Coatesville and Gap on Feb. 8, and riding on it were many of the 80 Coatesville City and area residents just hired for warehouse jobs at the Urban Outfitters distribution center on Brackbill Road.
City Manager James Logan said during Coatesville City Councilâs Feb. 8 remote meeting Urban Outfitters had immediately hired 80 of 89 applicants at a Feb. 6-7 job fair sponsored by the city. So far, 29 of the new employees had signed up for free shuttle transportation funded by the company and a Pennsylvania Department of Transportation grant. Others planned to drive.
City Council member Donald Folks said some applicants told him having transportation to and from employment meant they would be able to leave welfare behind and purchase food for their families.

Cameron Lehman, bar manager for Muddy Waters Oyster Bar in Pittsburgh’s East Liberty neighborhood, knows how far whiskey-lovers will travel for a sip of a rare spirit. He often sees visitors from out of state, who come to sample one of about 75 whiskeys Muddy Waters has on offer.
“When people come in and they take a look at our whiskey shelf, I love seeing that look in their eyes,” Lehman said.
The bar recently got a new bottle with plenty of prestige: Pappy Van Winkle’s 20-Year-Old Family Reserve Bourbon.
