Review of Lancaster, Pennsylvania


I don't get it
Star Rating - 10/1/2008
I don't understand what people see in this place. There are a few amish families that run farms around here and people flock to the area just to see them riding a horse, growing corn and raising their cattle. Big deal! That is their job.

What the brochures don't tell you about this place is the horrible crime rate, the horrible traffic, and the horrible pollution. When you come here, make sure you realize that you are not "out in the country." There is an Olive Garden and a Red Lobster 5-10 miles away from you at all times for pete's sake! If you are looking to "get away from it all," go to the Catskills, Northern PA, or the Shanendoah Mts. in VA, and truly get away. Don't come to this crime ridden, overly commercialized area of Southern PA. Think about it... There are a half million people that live in Lancaster County. THIS IS NOT " OUT IN THE COUNTRY"!!
