Living in Lititz, Pennsylvania

2/22/2012
I've lived in Lititz for 10 years now and am looking forward to many, many more. It is very much Hometown USA, with the beautiful Lititz Springs Park (www.lititzspringspark.org), biking paths, safe and friendly neighborhoods, and a host of specialty shops downtown including Cafe' Chocolate, Tiger's Eye, Ken's Music Center, Sturgis Pretzel Factory, North Star of Lititz (beautiful hand-blown glass www.thenorthstaroflititz.com), Aaron's Books and more.
Every year, there is a craft fair downtown that you have to see to believe. The two main roads (Main Street and Lititz Pike) are blocked off for a mile in each direction with craft and food booths the whole way down. It almost looks like downtown New York City there are so many people. The antique festival in Lititz Springs park brings in antiques from all over the country and the Fourth of July celebration is an all day affair in Lititz Springs Park culminating with a spectacular fireworks display set to music with sound provided by Clair Global.
And finally, Christmastime is ushered in with the lighting of the community Christmas tree and a gathering of hundreds if not thousands in the park to sip cider or hot chocolate while joining a local brass ensemble and choir in singing Christmas hymns. It's like something out of a movie.
Lititz is a wonderful place to raise a family and it's close enough to Baltimore and Philadelphia to make an easy day trip for all those cities have to offer.
