Today's riddle: What is clean when it is black and dirty when it is white? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Rice's Market Announces Closing at End of the Year (TAPinto.net) — Rice's Market on Greenhill Road in New Hope, a staple since 1860, will permanently close at the end of 2026, with its final day set for Tuesday, December 29. Locals are already sharing memories of early-morning traffic, first jobs, and favorite food stands as the owners cite changing market conditions and an evolving economy, with no word yet on future plans for the 30-acre property.
• New Hope Man Arrested For Alleged Assault On Cop (newhopefreepress.com) — Police say a 27-year-old New Hope man was arrested after an alleged late-night disturbance at John and Peter's Place on South Main Street escalated into a struggle with officers and the bartender. Court records show he faces felony assault on a law enforcement officer and other charges, with a preliminary hearing set for December and bail now shifted to nonmonetary conditions.
• Fight in the Museum: Q&A with Shawn Campbell (towntopics.com) — New Hope readers may recognize sculptor Shawn Campbell, recently honored at the Phillips' Mill juried show and now represented locally by Gallery Piquel. In this in-depth Q&A, she explains how she shifted from painting to clay, why her animal and human figures are so emotionally charged, and what new pieces she's exhibiting regionally and in New York.
