It’s been a while since I posted about Showbiz Pizza and other former York County pizza places, like Pappy’s. But while doing this week’s promised clean-out of e-mail, I found a couple of Showbiz comments, both of which were too good not to share. New commenter Kevin said he was

One of the neatest things about being an editor for your hometown newspaper is getting a chance to see people you know featured in the paper. While we don’t seek out people we know to use as sources for stories (and, in fact, try not to unless there is no
