Chestnut Hill is in the West end of the city. It has many tree lined streets and beautiful houses. This section has many of the characteristics of residential architecture found throughout Lancaster City. About half of the dwellings are two-story brick rowhouses with three-bay facades and gable roofs.

Chestnut Street, contains a rich and varied pattern of Victorian rowhouses, duplexes and detached dwellings. There are a number of prominent buildings, including the McComony Mansion, West Lawn, the David Rose Mansion, the William Wohlsen Mansion and the Elmer E. Steigerwalt House.

Fulton Elementary School This school is named after the inventor of the steamboat, Robert Fulton. The building currently known as Fulton Elementary School was constructed in 1917 as the Lancaster Boys' High School. It is a unique structure that remains very functional, even at the ripe old age of 89.

John Reynolds Middle School Reynolds Middle School was named after John Fulton Reynolds, a Major General who led the advance of the Union Army at Gettysburg, where he was killed in action. He was born in Lancaster in 1820 and attended Lancaster public schools.

Cracking the 5 digit mark!!! Thank You everyone.

Bob & Bonnie Horning: Real Estate Media in Mount Joy, PA

We've just done something that Wall Street hasn't for awhile... cracking the 10,000 mark.

I just wanted to thank everyone for the help, the great ideas, the encouragement and the great information. I've learned a great deal by looking around at the different blogs. I've really enjoyed using this site to spread the Good News of what Jesus has done for us in our life and I look forward to sharing more in the coming years.

One thing about the financial climate we are in currently, we've just sent an issue to print that was down to 64 pages for the first time in over 6 years. We peaked at 104 pages and averaged around 88-92 pages for the last few years. Others may think it's a bad thing but I look at it a bit differently. First, when we bought this Homes and Land Magazine, it was 28 pages. Secondly, when an expert from corporate came to town to evaluate our local market they told us that 60-64 pages would be the ceiling. We thought at the time of publishing 32-36 pages that 60 would be a great success. And it was. Third and finally, we very much appreciated the boom time and made the most of it and now it just appears that we are languishing... at the level just 10 years ago seemed a great success.

My point is: We are very grateful and appreciative to God for allowing us this opportunity to serve people in the great real estate industry and if we just wrap our minds around the current situation... it's just returning to a normalcy that we've forgotten about. We pray for all who have been called to this business that you will not only survive this market, but thrive in it.

Here's my rant for the day... What are going to do with Jesus today?
