With
the new century came a new name: Franco's Lounge,
Restaurant & Music Club. The name is a commitment to local artists
and national performers alike. In addition to helping to launch
the annual Billtown Blues Festival and the Support Poetry, Arts
and Music (S.P.A.M.), Franco's has featured top names such as Joan
Osborne, Steve Forbert, Queen Bee and the Blue Hornet Band and Jerry
Portney (who, incidentally, made the first public announcement of
the birth of Franco's first grandchild, Giovanna Maria Daniele.

While 1989 saw changes within the bar/restaurant, another member of
the family was making a name for herself a block to the north. After
20 years at Divine Providence Hospital, Franco's wife, the former
Joanna Testa, fulfilled her dream. She and daughter Roseanne opened
a pastry shop at 445 Market Street in Williamsport and began selling
Italian specialties, pastries and breads.
Franco, Joanna, Alfredo, Maria, Francis and Roseanne Daniele are a
family tradition in the heart of Williamsport.
