Neighbors United | Lancaster, PA - News

http://www.neighborsunitedlancaster.com/news.html

New to the Neighborhood. Neighbors United and 2016. Many of my good friends have said that 2016 "just needs to be done". The sad reality is that we are a divided nation. The loss of many legendary people and an unspeakable uncertainty shadows over many of us. Unfortunately, it often takes terrible circumstances to bring a community together. 1) We successfully launched the LCA Bike Ambassadors. Their presence in the community not only is a reassurance of our commitment to public safety, it is a key f...

Red Brick Lancaster: Tobacco helped build this city!

http://redbricklancaster.blogspot.com/2010/05/tobacco-helped-build-this-city.html

Otherwise known as the Red Brick Diaries of Lancaster, PA). There was an error in this gadget. Monday, May 3. Tobacco helped build this city! Most people don't think of tobacco when they think of Lancaster Country agriculture. Most folks definitely would not tie tobacco with the "innocent" Mennonite and Amish farmers. Well, if not for the Mennonite and Amish and their tobacco crops - miles from downtown Lancaster - a lot of the RED BRICK. Architecture in downtown Lancaster would not exist. Selling the hi...

Otherwise known as the Red Brick Diaries of Lancaster, PA). There was an error in this gadget. Thursday, April 22. I made this sign with used parts found at area Habitat for Humanity stores (or Re-Stores, as they are called). The parts are superglued or drilled to a recycled grayish board. Whenever I get all of my recyled/reused/found art items up on my Etsy.com site, this sign will be for sale. It's a GORgeous Spring day in Lancaster (again)! Spring in Penna is yummy!

Red Brick Lancaster: Ice cold brews for hot summer days

http://redbricklancaster.blogspot.com/2010/07/ice-cold-brews-for-hot-summer-days.html

Otherwise known as the Red Brick Diaries of Lancaster, PA). There was an error in this gadget. Sunday, July 18. Ice cold brews for hot summer days. This heat and humidity of late is reminding me too much of my native FL and GA. I long for those breezy 70's days we had not too long ago. What better way to cool off (if only for a few minutes) than to drink one of the cold beers brewed right across the street from my RED BRICK. Http:/ www.lancasterbrewing.com/. Another of my favorite RED BRICK. Cork Factory...

Red Brick Lancaster: Alley Architecture

http://redbricklancaster.blogspot.com/2010/07/alley-architecture.html

Otherwise known as the Red Brick Diaries of Lancaster, PA). There was an error in this gadget. Thursday, July 1. Some of the most interesting buildings in downtown Lancaster are found in the "alleys". The city is a labryinth of narrow side streets or alleys which can handle only one car at a time. Most of these side streets/alleys have official street names. If you're out and about in our beautiful downtown (especially on such a magnificent weather day as we had today), don't forget the "alleys".

Red Brick Lancaster: This is how you do urban renewal projects

http://redbricklancaster.blogspot.com/2010/04/this-is-how-you-do-urban-renewal.html

Otherwise known as the Red Brick Diaries of Lancaster, PA). There was an error in this gadget. Sunday, April 25. This is how you do urban renewal projects. Hats off to the Baldwin family of Lancaster. They had a dream. They had a vision. They didn't ask for government funding. They did it all by their lonesome. Http:/ www.urbanplacelancaster.com/. They took 300,000 square feet in nine factory buildings and turned these empty RED BRICK. Another great addition to my side of downtown Lancaster!
