York Vacation Guide
Named after its counterpart in England, York is the White Rose City in Pennsylvania. Located just across the Susquehanna River from Lancaster, it’s Red Rose sister from the infamous War of the Roses from the homeland (a great theme for high school football clashes here). York has developed a diverse economic base and holds a compelling history.
The history harkens back to revolutionary days, when York served as the temporary home for the Continental Congress (fleeing from Philadelphia) and was the place where the Articles of Confederation were ratified. Immediately before the Gettysburg turning point, York was the largest town occupied by southern troops during the Civil War.
Today York retains a rural air despite being the home for several large industrial sites…most notably the York Barbell facility and one of Harley-Davidson’s major production plants. One shouldn’t be surprised that the weightlifting hall of fame is also located here!

I spent a couple hours walking around York. It really cute historic town. The architecture of the buildings alone is worth the trip. Many of these buildings also sported some lovely murals relating to diversity, history and culture of this small and friendly city.

After about 2 hours of driving Brandon wakes up as I get off the turnpike and into the Lancaster area of Pennsylvania. He helps me get to Tammy's house and we head up to her porch to say "HI". We get into her cavelier and she said she wanted to take us to this crepe place called Rachel'…

I've had eight years to reflect on how York, PA has changed me. Eight years seems like a lifetime. I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, with a gas station and a McDonalds on every other corner. Dominicks, Osco, Piggly Wiggly, Amoco, Thornton... The communities in the 'burbs were judged in size by j…
