He pointed to the detail of the area before it was developed. Also of interest: Another view of the Codorus Creek in York and Destructive flood of 1933 struck York County 75 years ago and Skinny dipping in the Codorus?
York countian James H. Stauch Jr. read about hog maw recipes first published on this blog and then in the York Daily Record/Sunday News.
He e-mailed that he has been eating hog maw and other Pennsylvania Dutch foods like scrapple, pudding, mush, tripe and pickled tongue and heart for more than 60 years.

I've been editor of the York Daily Record/Sunday News for 5 years and managing editor of the newspaper for 15 years before that. So, York Town Square explores the world of journalism. But I also studied York/Adams in graduate school, have written five books about these fascinating southcentral Pennsylvania counties and serve on the York County Heritage Trust board. So, this blog deals with regional history. Often, journalism and history meet here. They're part of a continuum anyway. My hope is that this site intrigues readers on both accounts. Contact me at
