Lancaster and surrounding area - 12/30/2011

I have lived here for some time and I have seen the mistreatment of people of other races. Blacks and others just dont belong has been the impression I have seen which is very sad. It's not everywhere in this area but it does exist and it's sad. From being wrongly treated at local stores to the main hospital.[read more...]

Lancaster - 7/4/2010

Lancaster is a lovely place to live. The weather covers a broad spectrum from rain, to snow, to 100 degree days (not many though). We do have lots of tourists but I've grown up here and never minded. You may find yourself behind an Amish buggy from time to time but not as often as one might think. We also have a very large Mennonite community. This is a very welcoming community. We live in the Ephrata Area of Lancaster. DutchWonderland is a great hidden treasure of lancaster. Think Hershey park on a much smaller scale (mostly for the under 13 crowd). The park also has a small water park connected. Most everything in Lancaster is 20 minutes from everything. I would say some of the best places to live in this area are: Lititz, Hemphield, Ephrata and Denver. [read more...]
