Now for us, nicole. That is right, hi there in a cash a what a charming place , we are situated out in front of the bucks county playhouse situated right along main street, and it is a little warm but not too hot. We are lucking out here this evening. Town of the new hope has been a stapel in bucks county for many, many years and at one point, this is a place where mills employed much of the town. So very rich history, fast forward to today and we have a picturesque place where artists and mom and pop shops are thriving. You turn a corner and in this creative place and you are bound to find something new. Drive, walk, bike, or travel the tracks, no matter how you get to new hope, pennsylvania you will be charmed by the experience. When i came oute, i came from milwaukee, and i was used to an artistic community. My aunt told me go to new hope youll find split. Reporter from the brick pavers to the canopy of green ery around every corner this town invites artists to capture natural beauty, new hopes scenic landscapes have been a big draw for creative people looking for an eclectic community to see the early 1900s. I think it was just the scenery, the landscape here, for the impression painters, and that involved evolved in the 1900, 1905 just north of here and once you get one noted artist hoist known nationally, international, and then, of course, it is all of his buddies. Everyone knew each other this were very friendly and very sharing with all of their secrets. Reporter long before the sculptors painters and free spirits moved into town, new hope was a hub of commerce for bucks county, two things drove the economy in the 1700s, transportation, and water power. Because we had logging, and Different Things with the mill is here, silk mill million, we had different industries, operating here and we had canal, barges were coming up, between bristol all the way up to easton and they were taking goods back and bringing goods back down. Reporter by the time Benjamin Perry came to town in 1781 he owned mills on both side of the Delaware River. When one of the mills burned down he rebuilt, naming it new hope mill giving his business, and his town, a brand new identity. They rebuilt the mill, then it said, there is new hope for this town. So then we came new hope and then we became new hope parks. Reporter it lives on in the form of the bucks county playhouse, it burdened in the theater in 1930s when building was facing possible demolition and then in continuing operation until 2010, remodeled and reopened in 2012. The art, music and continue to draw people to this day looking to new hope for a night of theater, food, fun, locals say reason they stay is because of the feeling. Well, if you have a problem , there is people that are stepped in and help you when they can, they are a very caring group of people here. Pretty special when you border Delaware River and still have canal coming through town and nice place to live. When you explore this Historic Town make sure you ask shop owners about the buildings themselves because so often, it is hard to find a spot that wants touched by war or art, or something in between.

We have more on our break ing news shooting at a northeast philadelphia target store, alexandria movies live at the scene for us, shes got very latest, alex . Reporter natasha we are here at Target Shopping Center on bustleton avenue and finished talking to commissioner richard ross. He tells us around 3 30 police were called to the target after reports of the group of males fighting and shots fire. When Police Arrived they found a man had been shot in the parking lot, of the store. Now that man was taken to the hospital, with nonlife threatening injuries. But this was dramatic because during this time, shoppers were instructed to shelter in place. One family we spoke with said that they ran into a stockroom in the back of the store. All right. Heres what you have to keep in mind they right now police are still on the hunt for the shooter. He was seen, fleeing in a red Hyundai Sonata and unclear at this point if the male victim was the intended target of all of this.

Reporting live, im alexandria hoff for cbs3 Eyewitness News. Alex, thanks very much for that. Another busy day for the eagles, they had trade to help their secondary but they had to give up one of their most reliable players, quite a surprise, leslie. There have been trade rumors for a little while concerning Jordan Matthews but he has been eagles most consistent receiver over last three years but he was heading in the final year of his rookie deal so the possibility of him leaving and bird traded and got a player that fits a need on defense. Eagles traded him with next years third round pick to buffalo for cornerback ronald darby. Matthews, a second round pick in 2014 had 225 catches and 19 touchdowns in his three years with the bird but with the eagles, then signing Alshon Jeffery and torey smith to go with Nelson Agholor and matt hollins, jordan was dispensable. Nelson has had a good spring and Young Players has taken a great step up which is a testament to our Coaching Staff and we are excited about some futures. When we looked at it, we were concerned if we could keep a bunch of them but by the same token we knew it was an opportunity to add to our back end which is an important part of our football team. Last night out in green bay carson wentz and starters playing first series. Carson looks good he went four for four for 58yard and they only scored in the game. Matt hollins making a catch breaking a couple tackles on the way in but bird had three turnovers in the first half. Packers, went on to win this 24nine. Coming up at 6 00 we will have some player reaction to the big trade. All right, leslie, see you then.
