Note from Joan: I’m off celebrating my fifth anniversary today, so my friend Pat from The Southpaw is doing an extra-special guest-hosting of the ABCs winners!
So the winner for the best U of York County is…
Utz Potato Chips! The tasty snacks ran away with an easy victory. Joan has already blogged about her love of Utz. This poll marks the second time a snack food maker has been chosen as the top letter: Martin’s won for ‘M‘. Feel free to celebrate Utz with a bag of chips.
Now it’s time to start voting for your favorite V and to post comments with suggestions for the best W for next week’s poll, if you haven’t already.


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!





White Rose Bar & Grill
how about just White Rose
for the “W”…I nominate West York.
Contemplating a “W” while I munch on some Lays chips–sorry, Yorkers–I’ll have to go along with Adam and settle for anything “White Rose.”
Not that there’s anything wrong with the White Rose Bar, (Amazing Fuzzy Navel Shrimp Kebabs!) but White Rose in general. I believe the paper even has a roses and thorns section? At least I swear I remember one when I was younger!
