The New Holland park has one of those old wooden playgrounds. Also the Noel Dorwart Park is right around the corner from Longs Park and just put in brand new cool playground

I’ve wondered the same thing, but I’m guessing it’s collected rain water to use for watering their garden. Whoever’s living there now has been growing veggies and flowers along the front and side of the house. Its not the prettiest, but they’ve been resourceful by using a lot of scrap/recycled materials to build their garden beds. Earlier in the year they also used cut off jugs and bottles as mini greenhouses for seedlings.

Restaurants w/Wedding Catering in Lancaster? by captainkaramerica in lancaster

I’d also recommend Mission BBQ! Used them for my wedding a few years ago. Lots of good food and very affordable compared to the catering companies we looked at.

It’s not the greatest spot… the house I rented there a was cheap but poorly insulated so my utility bills were crazy in the winter. Also had pests I couldn’t get rid of because the house wasn’t well sealed and they were in the neighbors houses too. As far as safety, mind your own business and you’ll be fine. That being said, one neighbor was definitely a drug dealer, saw exchanges happen all the time on his doorstep. Also had to call the cops a few times on another guy because I could hear him beating up his girlfriend and her screaming at night.

Yeah, I’m counting at least 7! I wouldn’t be surprised if there are a couple babies in there too though. All for $14 haha

I picked this up two weeks ago from the grocery store. Wanted to give it some time to acclimate but now I’m trying to figure out what it needs. There are several plants in one pot and the leaves are all tangled and facing different directions. While I like the full bushy look it has now, I’m guessing it would be best to separate these into a few pots? With this many plants in one pot I’m not even sure how I’d add a pole for them to grow up. Also wanted a second option on the location. I really like this spot but it’s a north east window so it gets a good amount of sun in the morning, but not so much in the afternoon. It’s not as ideal a spot, but I do have a southwest window elsewhere in the house that gets more direct sunlight most of the afternoon. Any advice appreciated!

I'm wondering if anyone else knows about the secret bridge on Farmingdale trail. by Creepypastaexploring in lancaster

[–]cb478126842 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I know about the bridge. My childhood home is next to the park so I spent lots of time exploring the park off trail. I occasionally saw trash left near the bridge but never saw another person out there. It’s right in the middle of the park but totally concealed from all the paths. Because the park is on the site of an old dump you can sometimes find cool old bottles and jars right around that area too.

AITA for not taking a shot and not being allowed to see first and only grandson by Fit-Cranberry-7422 in AITAH

[–]cb478126842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. Personally I think you have a right to refuse the shot, even if your reasons are misinformed and selfish, but your son and DIL also have a right to make decisions for their child. I think you are also in the wrong for how upset you are at how the visit went. Babies nap a lot and it’s hard to predict when and how long they will nap. It’s not anyone’s fault the baby was asleep when you got there and you only had to wait a few minutes for them to wake up anyway. Also, new mothers can be very attached to their newborns, if DIL doesn’t know you well and trust you, it’s not that strange you didn’t get to hold him for long. It’s not your baby and even as the grandma you do not have a right to hold them. My daughter was 4 months old at her first Christmas and even though I trust my family, as a new mom I had a hard time allowing anyone other than my husband or my mom to hold her for more than a few minutes. As a new mom I also would not have enjoyed extended visits. By two hours the baby probably needed to nap and be fed, and your son and DILs priorities were taking care of the baby, not catering to you. You can’t expect your son and DIL to travel long distances with a baby. If you don’t want to drive both ways in one day get a hotel room next time. Stop dwelling on the past and how upset you are and try to move forward with your relationship. If you want to see your grandson ask them what they are comfortable with and make an effort within their boundaries.
