It was an ordinary day. Posting photographs today that I have found of the city of Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I have been collecting historical photographs of Lancaster city as well as Lancaster county for years to share with you. I hope you enjoy a few of the photographs from my collection. It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
