York countians really like to talk about their towns. So when you put a YDR Facebook post up like the one above showing a borough or landmark, people respond. In this case, readers pointed out that the original YorkTownSquare post didn’t immediately give the answer, so I went in and re-worked the story.  Also of interest: There’s oil in those New Salem Hills.
