About this blog
My name is Joan and I'm a lifelong Yorker. Throughout high school and college, I swore I was getting out of here as soon as possible. Now, a few years later, I can't think of anywhere I'd rather be. I love my town. And, as a local editor, I hear every day how much you love your towns, too. So please, connect with me and let's share what makes life in York County great. I'm here to help you enjoy this place as much as I do!

The wheels on the bus
My 7-year-old daughter’s bus driver rode the bus with me in high school. I liked her then. I found out today she plays “Smack That”* and invites the K-6 crowd to sing along. Not so sure I like her so … Continue reading
