It was an ordinary day. Finishing my two-part story illustrating through old photographs the history of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Yesterday I began my visual story and today I will show you many more photographs of what Lancaster County looked like years ago. Hope you enjoy them. It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy. PS - You may want to read the comment that was posted yesterday by Dan on my Part I Story. Very interesting comment which made me do a double-take, but I still believe it is on King Street in downtown Lancaster, PA. I only wish I could read the store front signs to be absolutely sure.
