25 Famous People You Didn’t Know Were From Sullivan County, New York

This one was interesting for me to write because when I was 17, I went to Sullivan Community College. It was basically the only college that would accept me. I wasn’t that great as a student in high school, but that’s because I wanted to be a musician, and I spent all my time practicing piano. It wasn’t because I was lazy; I just found what I wanted to do with my life, and I did that for a good 30 years.

Longtime Honesdale funeral home closes with Bryant’s retirement

Arthur A. Bryant Funeral Home at 1228 N. Main St., Honesdale, closed on Nov. 6, capping over 80 years in business. The closure of one of Honesdale’s two funeral homes came with the retirement of longtime owner Arthur “Art” A. Bryant, who chose not to sell his business. The family business was started by his father, Arthur “Bud” E. Bryant, who began his career in the 1940s and opened the funeral parlor at this location. Art Bryant became a licensed funeral director in 1979. A press release states, “With recent health challenges and a cancer diagnosis, the decision to close his practice has not come easily. Rather than simply selling the business to another Funeral Director, Bryant has chosen to personally recommend that the families who have entrusted him with their care turn to Edward R. Howell, owner and operator of Howell Family Funeral Home, Inc., in Waymart.” “Edward is no stranger to the families I have served. He knows nearly all of them personally. He is a well-known, respected, and trusted Funeral Director who has deep roots in this community.” Bryant said in the press release. “I know his character, his commitment to this profession, and I have complete

Historic Dimmick Inn has delivered consistently good food since the 1800s

For nearly two centuries, the Dimmick Inn has stood as a local landmark, but it is the lasting quality of their food that keeps the legacy alive. I heard the bustling crowd before I walked through the door, promising another classic Friday night at this historic restaurant. I started my meal off with the French onion mac and cheese and an order of their classic truffle fries topped with grated parmesan cheese and chives. The mac and cheese combined traditional French onion soup flavors with Swiss and provolone cheese, while the fries were perfectly crisp, well-salted and ideal for sharing.

The art of remembrance: Work continues on Archbald Borough Veterans Monument Park

To Stephen Colley, many military memorials feel polished and rigid. Colley doesn't want his work for the Archbald Borough Veterans Monument Park to feel that way. "It looks like movie stars were in the middle of war," the sculptor and Marywood University educator said of other statues he's seen as he stood over several miniature renditions of a 12-foot eagle obelisk he designed.
