Message:: [QUOTE="rrholdout, post: 2890386, member: 89654"]I see, out towards Ephrata and Adamstown. Went to Penn State at Berks, to stay within commuting range of home. I grew up in the suburbs on the west side of Lancaster, Hempfield was a great school, top of the class going to schools like Harvard and Stanford. Ultimately moved downtown and lived off Orange Street and later Duke Street, a block south of the train station. Later moved to a neighborhood beside F&M. Loved the walks through the brickyard. Spent many hours in the wonderful F&M library. Had a student friend who checked out some books for me - If I remember right, it was Elie Faure's multi-volume 'History of Art'. Great to hear the city's doing well. It's a beautiful place. South of King Street used to be a war zone with a lot of gang violence pre-2000. I believe for a day Lancaster was once the capital of the nation. Lot of history there. In 97' paddled a canoe up the Susquehanna from Pequea to the river's source [Lake Otsego] in Cooperstown, NY. Magical trip. Would love to do it again . . . but this time, go downstream . . . I'm going to Google today 'How the Federal Reserve Saved the World in 2009'. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
