ring, maybe you mean Silvio's, which is actually right in Hatboro. Since I work 5 min. from there, I have one of their hoagies on a regular basis. They bake their own bread rolls and use high quality cold cuts ...very excellent.
HATBORO'S HISTORY HIGHLIGHTS
In 1715, John Dawson, a hatter from England, came to Hatboro, and built a house that later became the Crooked Billet Inn. The small village was at that time called the Billet. The Billet became known as Hatborough in 1740.
In the 1750's, Hatboro was a farming village of a scant fifteen houses on the Old York Road. York Road, a former Indian trail, was the stage coach route between Philadelphia and New York. A mill, a tavern,a tannery, a saddlery and furniture maker were the main businesses. Most business was carried on by the barter of goods and services. There was no church and only a small school. In recent years, the world famous local raconteur Nick, known on the most illustrious TFP forum as BadNick, can be seen eating regularly at Silvio's hoagie shop.
