\nWilliam Arais kneels during Rosary prayer in an Our Lady of Guadalupe<\/a> event at\u00a0 St. Mary’s Roman Church<\/a> in York earlier this month. Latinos in church and around the city are more visible than a decade ago. In the past 10 years, York’s Hispanic<\/a> population almost doubled.\u00a0\u00a0And more than half of all Hispanics in York County live in the city, according to U.S. Census numbers. The Latino growth helped the city of York reverse a downward population trend that commenced after 1950. The city reached a population of almost 60,000 in 1950 and came in just above 40,000 in 2000. Census numbers show that the city’s population is 43,718 today, a 7 percent increase. For more census numbers, including specific facts about the city and county’s Hispanic population, see ydr.com’s U.S. Census<\/a> page.

Neat stuff from all over … .<\/p>\n

Responding to a previous post about Joe Bury<\/a>‘s iconic hamburgers, York countian Larry Good has this story to tell:<\/p>\n

“First met Bury’s burgers 1941 York Fair went to the fair with my friend and his Mom. My Mother told me when I eat NEVER buy food from someone who Is not from York County. I have always followed that rule even today. My friend’s Mom took us to Bury’s burger stand and ask me If I had any money. I pulled out my hanky and there was two quarters tied very tight In the corner, she untied the knot and paid.<\/p>\n

“I cannot remember the price or what we had to drink but, I proudly came home with some change. My first of many Bury’s burgers. It was my first York Fair and the great thing was we got a free ticket at school. Imagine sending a kid to the fair with two quarters today.<\/p>\n

“It was around 1963 and I had just returned from six years In the Navy, a friend from town was the parts manager at the new VW dealership on East Market St. He asked me to come to work for him In the parts dept.<\/p>\n

“There was a lunch wagon stopped daily at the dealership but I always ate at the Bury’s Restaurant further West on East Market St.”<\/p>\n

Good told about a fellow employee who he would invite to go along with him for lunch:<\/p>\n

“He was too poor In those days to eat lunch out and his wife would bring his lunch everyday In a brown paper bag. And I was too
\npoor to buy his lunch. He Is not too poor today. Thanks for the memory.” (See additional Bury links below.)<\/p>\n

A new level:<\/strong> Delone Catholic senior Sierra Moore scored crossed the 2,000 career-point mark this week in girls basketball action.<\/p>\n
