Musical parking spots
Last night, I knew that taking my normal route home from work (Roosevelt Avenue to Market Street) would be a bad idea. I assumed George Street wouldn’t be any better. So instead, I drove out Route 30 and took Sherman … Continue reading

Raining on the parade
Looks like it’s going to rain on Bike Night’s parade tonight. But the festivities will go on! Everyone might just get a little soggy enjoying them. Last year, I left the office around 6 p.m. and somehow forgot that it … Continue reading

More on ducks
I’m not the only one spotting ducks in the city. On Tuesday night, Charlotte Bergdoll told the York City Council there are two ducks and two roosters living at a city residence near a property she owns. She asked if … Continue reading

Recycling mess
Is it too much to ask that people put their trash in trash cans? I made the (admittedly stupid) mistake of forgetting to retrieve my recycling bin from the sidewalk before I headed to work Tuesday. I’m not sure how … Continue reading
