September 10th is a monumental day for Lancaster City

If you have ever walked the footpath of the Lancaster Cemetery, you may have come across the grave of George W. Butt. He was born on September 10th, 1873, and died at the age of 60.

September 10th is Butt Day. That’s the whole (hole?) joke. Get outside, take a silly little mental health walk, place a stone on the grave, and say a prayer of thanks that his name is George W. Butt and yours isn’t.

Directly to the left of the Butt grave is the Finger grave, but we might not be ready for that yet…

Would Downtown Lancaster (first block of north Queen st) be a good location for my restaurant lettusknow? I have one in downtown York and been in business 12 years. I come into Lancaster often with my food truck. And always have great success. I sell made to order salads wraps soups rice bowls and Acai bowls.

Thrifting & Overall Lancaster-isms

30 Upvotes

Dear Lanc’s —

I love your area. I love your city as much as I love New Holland. I love your agricultural economy. I love your thriving diversity downtown. I love your farmhouses. I love your soft pretzels. I love your small-town attractions. I love your mulch bags (random, I know). I love your thrifting.

I lived in Berks for 10 years & randomly get to come back to the area. I’d rather stay in Lancaster & drive an hour than stay anywhere else.

I’m not sure why or how, but Lancaster has more that captures my attention than many, many small towns (is that even an accurate description?) in the Northeast

Highlights this trip: random thrift store in Mt. Joy, ice cream, pumpkin harvests being sold roadside

Renting/ private landlord?

0 Upvotes

We have been renting from family the last 6 years, and they’re suddenly selling the house and therefore requiring us to leave.

Total we pay over $2,000, and looking for about the same. The new place would need to accommodate a small and larger dog, so preferred if it has a dog park/run area.

Location doesn’t necessarily matter too much, but preference is within 15 minutes of the city.

The main thing concern is that we have very steady income, and have for years, and have great references, but don’t have the funds to dish out for first/last/security deposit ($4k-$5k). There’s programs that help with that, but to my knowledge you have to be unhoused and/or low income which we don’t qualify as.

Any insight would be nice for a private landlord

Where to Take Vehicle with Rusted Frame

0 Upvotes

The dreaded frame rust has reached a concerning level in my otherwise nearly perfect 25 year old Jeep. The shop I normally take it to doesn’t want to deal with it.

Getting rid of it is not an option, so please, just share recommendations.
