It was an ordinary day. Visiting my grandmother who lived at 145 North Pine Street in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Often went to visit with her when my parents both had something to do and I wasn't old enough to stay at home by myself. Nannan, as I called her, enjoyed taking walks in the neighborhood with me so she could show me off to her neighbors. One day we headed south from her home and visited with a few neighbors before crossing King Street into what was known as Cabbage Hill. Wasn't long before she was explaining to me why the area got its name.
