Man, if every blog entry I wrote was as successful at stirring debate as the which-seafood-restaurant-was-where post back in March… I’d be a full-time blogger! This went on to become the subject of my Easter dinner conversation, a huge draw for comments, AND an in-office debate. The final verdict: Where
Did you guess last week’s pop quiz correctly – where my husband and I ventured in York County? The specific answer is coming later, but first, here are some photos of other places we visited as we headed south in York County. You might notice they’re all food-related – what
Just a fun little example of “Only in York County.” One of the YDR’s former correspondents and an online friend of mine, Greg Gross, upon realizing that my family had the Fitzkee’s-and-other-candy stand at the Market & Penn Farmer’s Market in the 80s and 90s, said: “I am positive I

So the winner for the best H of York County is… Harley-Davidson! And by a landslide, too. Yes, I know, it’s a real shocker. Read more at the link above – the paper’s coverage page – and also at the York Harley Watch blog, run by our business staff. (Associated
A scene from 1979’s “The Demon,” which was not nominated for any Oscars. Hi all. my husband here. I’m guest-hosting for Joan this morning. It’s kind of like when you were younger and you were all geared up for “The Tonight Show” and you flip it on and, dang, right
I had a fun “sighting” of an Only in York County thing in one of my daughter’s Christmas gifts. She received from her grandparents The Game of Life: Extreme Reality Edition. If you’re familiar with the original Life game, you know you get a career, get married, buy a house,
