Towamencin Township businesses now have a voice to improve their networking and commercial environment.

According to a "Back in Time" feature by Dick Shearer of the Lansdale Historical Society, the Tremont was the go-to restaurant when it was owned by Marcel Winniger. Yet, perhaps the Tremont was destined for failure, for demolition; its destiny may be that it would be talked about for decades, a story for grandmom and mom and dad to reminisce about with the good ol' days of Lansdale. Shearer said the Tremont had a troubled past that haunted it to the very end. The Hotel Tremont was built in 1890 by Isaac Heebner, son of …
