So the winner for the best H of York County is…
Harley-Davidson! And by a landslide, too. Yes, I know, it’s a real shocker. Read more at the link above – the paper’s coverage page – and also at the York Harley Watch blog, run by our business staff.
Jo, who voted for this one, summed it up well: “All the ‘H’ words are York, for sure, but only one can I go anywhere around York and not see it plastered all over people’s clothing. Not much choice on this one.” Commenter John had a similar feeling – “It has to be” Harley, he wrote.
A shout-out goes to my brother-in-law Mike, for suggesting Hanover Junction. Other suggestions that I particularly liked included Handel’s Ice Cream, by Doug, and the Howard Tunnel by Dianne. (And I admit, I’m a little sad that hogmaw didn’t win!)
Anyway, now it’s time to start voting for your favorite I and to post comments with suggestions for the best J for next week’s poll, if you haven’t already. There are only a few “I” options, but they’re good ones.
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!
John Rudy Park – one of our favorite places to walk the dog.
The other three “Is” have little meaning to me although it’s obvious the opposite is true for some voters. I have to go with ice cream with all the locations around the county, including Mack’s & Handels (my favorite). York has a long history of dairies and their ice creams similar to pretzels, chips and bakeries.
