One of my favorite bars, Schnitzel's
Tavern in Bellefonte, PA, is in flames. My hopes and prayers for safety
and a quick recovery to all involved. The Bush House Hotel, which houses
Schnitzel's, dates to 1868, and sadly is reported to be likely "a
total loss."
Story from the Centre Daily Times here.
2/9: The latest from
Bellefonte is that the Bush Hotel is nothing more than crumbling brick.
My thanks to all of you who e-mailed me the news, knowing how I loved
Schnitzel's.
2/10: My
memorial to Schnitzel's.
"We will bring
back Schnitzel's."
That's from Susan and Kenny Kempton, the owners of
the Bush Hotel, who announced recently (2/21) that they plan to
rebuild. More here,
and below. All I can say...is thanks...and maybe we should all
get together for the opening.
