Stopped at Market this AM and had a chat with one of the gals handing out NewsLanc. The cold fresh air and little crowd due to the conditions was most appreciated as the parking and foot traffic was great.
Back at the office I read the flyer and as I went down the list of all the stories and issues covered in 2010. I for one am most grateful to Robert for his persistence.
Jim Huber, no longer with us worked hard for years to keep Wal-Mart off of South Centerville Road. FAID sold hot dogs and soda, car washes and gave contributions to pay for the legal fees and PREVAILED. This is what America is all about and as Lancaster County becomes a melting pot of new residents taking us to 1/2 million in population, as politicians like Barley and Armstrong with their buddy IOU’s fade into the sunset, the tides are turning
I wonder if the Mayor and the residents of Lancaster City as well as the County are thankful to those that took the hits for being anti-Trolley Car. Just recently as I went to Market for Christmas items the city was at a standstill with construction. Sitting in traffic, I recalled the streetcar proposal. What a mess that would be, one couldn’t even taken a trolley. The trolley would not have been able to move!!!
We here in Lancaster County are so very fortunate compared to many other counties in PA. We are very up to date on accommodations for our government workers and programs such as farm preservation. We need to be reminded that it is due to a few of our past elected officials that stood firm and tried their best to hold people accountable. We are more transparent today as well; however, we have a long way to go…
