Shutting down city streets for funeral

No disrespect intended but REALLY? REALLY?  Who are they kidding?  This is a state road – did they get permission to do this?

THREE HOURS?!?  Shutting the street down, right before the court house?!?! Are you kidding me?  What on earth is the justification for this?  This is not the President of the United States.

Plus  East Marion Street AND North Christian Street?!

I feel like going to just to see how many show up – after all – many of her peers are long gone.

If ever there was a sign of how much of a ‘one horse town’ Lancaster really is – I can’t think of one.

    Has this ever been done for anyone else to this extent? Possibly Buchanan? Is the service by invitation?

    Maybe that is the real reason Obama is not going to Chelsas wedding, he is coming here!!!

    Then again I believe they are Republicans, so possibly Bush is coming.

    The naysayers were certainly out in force at the Newslanc site yesterday.

    The Steinmans are likely one of the most influential and philanthropic families that have ever been a part of the Lancaster community.

    Yes, but are they too good to use the parking garages and walk to a funeral like the rest of us? Can’t they afford their own pomp and circumstance or should the poor folks taxes pay.

    You are correct – Her primary quality was that she was born into a very rich and influential family.

    Just so I understand – Who else qualifies on your list of royalty round these parts? I’ll avoid downtown when they kick too!

    Was it really that bad? Given how much money she had generously donated to multiple community causes over the years- I think 3 hours of inconvienience was a decent trade off. The incessant complaining in this community still amazes me.
