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!

In general, I ask everyone submitting Ask Joan questions to submit them via our web form. It’s mostly done to make sure everyone’s question gets filed and answered; also, it helps me more promptly respond to timely questions. But I … Continue reading

Ask Joan: Kicking off 2012 edition

Ask Joan: Unanswered questions edition
Usually in Ask Joan, I mix it up; I share both questions I DO have the answers to, as well as some where I’m seeking details from you in order to help a reader. Today, there’s no mixing. This is … Continue reading
