Only in York County: June 2007 Archives

Thrifty. Or frugal. Or just plain cheap. That's one thing I love and am proud to say about myself and my fellow York Countians.

You know, the iPhone launched today.

We did a very unscientific poll on ydr.com. The results weren't too surprising. Of 163 total votes:
I'm getting one - 4.294 %
I'm thinking about buying one - 4.907 %
Too expensive - 90.79 %

I heard from one reporter that people were saying things like "What? Don't you mean an iPod?" when asked at the malls if they planned to get one. I don't know if that's true word-for-word, but I don't have a hard time believing it...

On his blog, Mike Argento talks about another sign that you're definitely in York County.

Check it out.

Everyone else is York Revolution crazy, so...

1. Since, hey, the Revs certainly are an "Only in York County" thing and
2. Since, hey, I am the online editor,

I give you ydr.com/revolution, home of all things Revs. You should especially check out our video trading cards. Sam made them!

I'm Joan Concilio, and thanks for dropping by my blog!

I've lived in York County since I was three days old. (Born in New Jersey, but don't hold that against me.) All through high school and college, I thought I'd be out of here as soon as possible. But things have changed, and now that I'm married and have a house, my husband and I have decided this is a great place to raise our 7-year-old daughter.

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 much now.

Only in York County.
