Your right so much has changed in Lancaster City! I try to stay out of the Center City. It's a shame what happened, but then again this seems to be what has happened in a lot of City Centers over the past 40 years or so, you gotta see Center City Reading and Center City Allentown. What a shame! I wonder what went wrong?
@@farishope6540 that's about when industry began leaving for cheaper pastures. A man with a high school education, working at the steel mill, could support a wife, 2 kids, a dog and cat, lived in a decent house, had 2 vehicles, AND had a summer house along the creek! Now his old house is 4 apartments. The cycle played out all over America, but when I came back to Pennsylvania, I was shocked.

When it was profitable to keep jobs in US they kept it; once they saw it more profitable to exploit the cheap labor in Asia, they transferred their business there with a moment of regret letting American mine workers with nothing. Not to mention how PA is still suffering from the environmental damage they caused.
Watching this makes me happy

Actually the center of Lancaster City has come back big time, especially this century.
Lancaster city is doing very well, especially compared to other cities its size
Lancaster City is doing well. But rent has gone up a lot!
What happened? The city seems better than reading, harrisburg and york, norristown
Not much like this anymore...Pennsylvania is long dead. It was all over by 1983.
