Meet Joan
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!

Yorkers elsewhere in the news: Dec. 8, 2007 edition
It’s amazing the number of things we see online about Yorkers doing cool stuff (former Yorkers, too, but we all know once you are one, it’s for life). Here are just a few.
Where I’ve been
Next in the Yorkisms series… I said this one today. “I’m going to see if the mail’s been.” Yet another example of local economy of words, it means if something has “been here yet,” but why not drop those last … Continue reading
