[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you actually spent time in Lancaster? I've been there maybe 40 times, never lived there. It's a tired, old, quiet place where basically nothing ever happens. You can't judge an area based on pictures of restaurant interiors.

I certainly wouldn't buy a dumpy rowhouse like that on such an ugly street. I'd prefer to be in one of the SFHs on the edge of the grid.[/quote]

I’ve been to the one of the restaurants PP posted, the food hall, and a couple places in the Times article. The neighborhood where the house OP posted is College Hill, which is up and coming. People posting about how run down the area are have probably never been to this neighborhood, these restaurants, and are judging the city based on outdated impressions. The Times isn’t writing articles like this about York or Reading. Lancaster has a unique energy because of the confluence of farm to table Amish traditions and different immigrant groups that are combining to make a good food scene for such a small city.[/quote]
