That time I visited a place where no one knew what the York Daily Record was … and it’s OK

Fruit cup + toast + computer + Hootsuite = love.

I got some good feedback from my column today, which focused on my travels Thursday through northern York County, a place that doesn’t get much attention from our paper.

So far, it inspired one couple to invite me to their a “pie party” next week in the rural farmlands of northern York county. More on that later.

I just wanted to add a few tidbits of awesomeness from yesterday, despite the annoying fact that no one intentionally stopped by to share a story idea.

But hey, it happens sometimes — even when you promote the crap out of yourself.

On a side note, our Facebook followers are awesome. I think they’re sort of, kind of, attempting to follow along with what I’m doing, as seen here:

Yep. I’m a winner.

4. Baklava cheesecake is the bomb.

Hey there, beautiful.
