It is made up of five small villages, the best known of which are Penn's Park, Pineville and Wycombe. Each of these has its own post office and classic tavern where locals gather for drink, victuals and merriment. Governmentally, it is part of a Jointure, a cooperative arrangement for collective zoning with its neighbors Newtown and Upper Makefield. It is the only such association in the Commonwealth with a joint comprehensive plan and monthly meetings to review and recommend enactment of zoning ordinances that address such things as land development, open space, waste water management and roadside signage. This 40 year arrangement has allowed each community to grow distinctly. Wrightstown retains a rural nature with stone quarries it's primary industry; Upper Makefield without public sewer and water systems offers minimum 3 acre tracts for housing and limited commercial/industrial zones; while Newtown accepted more density, most commerce for the region, larger population, and a lot of the issues that go along with them. It also has among the lowest taxes in the county and the best schools (Council Rock). Wrightstown is also the home of the Grange, an agrarian social group like the 4H, that sponsors a large country fair every summer that attracts huge crowds for its carnival rides and farm husbandry competitions. It may seem a sleepy burg, but that's really just the way they want it.

The new (2015) county courthouse for Bucks is located on North Main Street, Doylestown. It sits…read moreright across the street from the old court house that is now the Bucks County Administration Building. Although quite modern in design, it maintains its historic roots to the founding of the county and many of its oldest municipalities by William Penn, by providing artwork indigenous to the 17th-18th centuries, most beautifully the Moravarian Tile Works ceramics depicting scenes from those early days. The building houses the Court of Common Pleas, the trial level court in PA, County Sheriff, District Attorney, Probation Department, court administrator and the jury assembly room. The other row offices (Human Services, Recorder of Deeds, Recorder of Wills) remain across Main Street in the old courthouse/admin building. As an attorney I am a regular visitor to the Justice Center. Sitting on the hillside facing the northern vistas of Bucks, it is a beautiful building, well suited for its purpose. It is sufficiently spacious, attractive and comfortable for litigants, counsel and those employed by Bucks. The brick and slate front courtyard sets off the red/orange brick facade well, leading to the two story entrance foyer where security runs smoothly for the most part. I am here today to meet my civic obligation to appear for jury duty(no photos allowed). Doubtful I will be selected to sit on a trial jury due to my profession, but stranger things have happened, especially when there are several trials scheduled and the earlier starting trials are empaneled and there are fewer candidates available for trials starting later in the day. Happy to serve. PS. Turned out that no trials started today and we were all dismissed at 12:10 pm. We all get paid $9 per day for the honor, an inflationary improvement over the two bucks offered when I started practicing. That's cool. After all, it is not about the money.

Did you know some fire departments have banquet halls? "EYE" myself did not! Upper Gwynedd Fire…read moreDept. has a pretty nice hall. There's private parking. However, locating the lot is a bit confusing considering it's located behind the houses next door and behind the fire department. The entrance is inviting, with a few chairs for sitting. It's also open enough that you can get some good photo ops in before entering the entertaining space. They have separate restrooms for men and women as opposed to unisex ones. The bathrooms are kept pretty well stocked you'd think there was a bathroom attendant. They had everything from pocket tissues to shout wipes! There's a kitchen for the caterer and bar space for drinks. A drawback to the hall is that there's only one room. The wedding I attended also had the reception there. This means you have to transform the the room to prepare the tables. And just where are your guests supposed to go while they wait to be served food? Oh outside? Down the street at Pizza Saloon? Cool....I guess We we can go eat before we eat...??! No biggie, right?! Nope! I got to explore. Although, for this particular event we had to leave, I'm sure this hall would suffice for a a regular gathering without 2-parts because it is a nice size. You can bring in your own caterer, bartender, photographer, etc and it appeared to be staff to assist but I'm not to sure. So if your in the market to party! Gwynedd Fire Department might be your spot!! Just don't burn the roof down.

I am mainly into older philosophy books lately and plan on coming back here to advance my knowledge from all the scholars from yester years.

In addition to books and over five thousand DVD's in stock they have partition work offices you can work in. I want to say approximately five with a sliding door to make it a little more private as well. I have been to the Horsham Library and the Abington Library in the past month and my preference at this time I would have to say is the Horsham Library. As always people SYOY!!!

They're not replacing them with new books. They are apparently using the space to "feature" a book by standing it up face-out. Is this a store or a library? The science fiction/fantasy and mystery sections have been cut down by at least half (not even taking into account the fact of the remaining shelves being half empty.) It's so sad. Librarians used to be people who loved books.

The local place where Justice is served for the communities of Morrisville, Yardley and Lower…read moreMakefield, PA. If you receive a traffic ticket, have a landlord tenant dispute, breach of contract, or unpaid obligation, this is the forum where the dispute is originally heard before a District Judge who was elected to the position by the electors (legal residents over 18) of those towns. While no juries are empanelled, the judge has broad experience in all the issues that can be resolved within its jurisdiction. Even the most serious criminal offenses begin with a preliminary hearing in front of this judge, before being sent to the Court of Common Pleas in Doylestown. The clerks here are friendly and efficient processing the considerable paperwork. Cases are set for trial quickly, usually within the first 30 days of filing. The aphorism, "Justice delayed in justice denied," is seldom invoked here. Cases move to conclusion, or are transfered to a high court without time wasted. While appeals are by right in almost all matters, amazingly few litigants are dissatisfied enough to take their problems to the next level where time and expense can become very relevant. I was pleased with our result today.
