PUBLISHER’S WELCOME

This is our 2023/2024 snapshot of Lancaster County. I have enjoyed visiting and getting to know the businesses in this guide and I know you will, too!

Six and a half years ago, I started this business with one goal in mind—to help small businesses and non-profits grow. I was determined to develop an affordable way for them to advertise and create the reach that they deserve. Today, my goal is still the same.

With current challenges for small businesses, like rising costs and labor shortages, I see businesses struggle, and unfortunately some close their doors. I ask myself, “What can I do to help? How can the readers of this guide help?”

First, continue to eat, shop, live, work, and play in your local community. And when you do, please share your experiences with others. On page 11 of this guide, you will find a list of FREE ways to support local businesses. You will be surprised at just how simple and easy it can be.

Thank you for paging through one or more of our four hard cover or digital guides. Our readership continues to grow, and I am proud to say we have reached readers in over 290 states and countries and close to 2,000 cities. Now get out there and visit a brick-and-mortar business today. And, as always, enjoy your next Live.Work.Play. adventure!

In gratitude, Christine Vasiliades

Free Ways to Support Local Businesses

In the spirit of the Live.Work.Play. mission to support small businesses, we have compiled this list of quick, easy, and FREE ways that you can support local businesses.

Review them on Google

The best way to support any business, next to purchasing their services or product, is to give them a Google review. It takes less than a minute and helps them with online exposure. Reviews influence search engine results and a business will rank higher if they have more reviews. Reviews also build credibility and help attract new customers.

Share their posts on social media

Go one step further than hitting the “Like” button—consider sharing a post. On Facebook, there is typically a share button on the lower right bottom of the post. On Instagram, you can take a screen shot of the post. Use the arrow icon which allows you to share to stories or other platforms. You can also download a repost app from Google Play Store or Apple App Store which allows you to share a post.

Sign up for their newsletter

Show that you’re a fan, but also be the first to know about events, new products, or special promotions.

Refer a friend or family member

Refer a business by word-of-mouth. Your family members or friends will likely trust and remember them more if it is shared personally. You can even do a referral by including a business card in a gift to someone.

Pass these tips on to others!

What business did you come in contact with today? Did you have a good experience?

Whether it’s a dry cleaner, landscaper, shoe store, coffee shop, local artist, class instructor, take a moment to tell the world! Put a smile on a business owner’s face today!

Marietta

Suzanne Rende

Since painting her first mural on her bedroom wall at 12 years old, Suzanne has been hooked on murals. She painted murals throughout high school and college, graduating from Hussian School of Art in Philadelphia, PA in 1993. Her full-time mural arts career began in 1996 while living in Southern California, where she worked for several years, mostly painting in residential homes. In 2000, she moved back to her home state of New Jersey where she continued to paint for a host of clients in the tri-state area. She worked for a diverse array of clients, from preschools to 20,000 square foot restaurants, in addition to private homes. Since 2017, Suzanne has resided in York, Pennsylvania, commissioning murals but switching her focus to painting and selling her original artwork. The opportunity to open her own storefront emerged in a much smaller town at the beginning of a revival. In April of 2022, she opened The Artful Nest, a storefront in Marietta, PA where the theme is nature inspired, happy, and handmade. This welcoming and supportive neighborhood helped make this move her most successful. She now calls many of her customers friends and feels energized by being part of a growing business community.

Susquehanna Stage The Artful Nest

VISIT Columbia

• Situated along the Susquehanna River, Columbia was founded in 1728, and was originally known as Wright’s Ferry.

• Columbia was almost the capital of the United States. When Congress voted in 1790, Columbia lost by only one vote to Washington, D.C.

• Later, Columbia missed out on being named the capital state, in favor of Harris Ferry, which later became Harrisburg.

• The market at 15 S. Third Street in Columbia was built in 1869. Beneath the building is a dark basement known as the Dungeon which includes seven cells. The cells still exist today in their original form!

National Watch & Clock Museum

VISITLancaster

Fulton did not invent the steam engine, but he made history with his steam powered voyage on the Hudson River in 1807. A township in southern Lancaster County is named after him.

• Milton S. Hershey, whose name has become synonymous with the chocolate bar, actually started his first milk chocolate factory in Lititz, Lancaster County. Milton Hershey had big plans of building a bigger factory with a town around it and founded the famous factory and town that was named after him in nearby Dauphin County.

• The Follmer-Clogg Umbrella Corporation, located at West King and Mulberry Streets in Lancaster, was once the largest umbrella factory in the world. It has now been converted to residences known as The Umbrella Works.

Your adventure awaits...

Located along the Anclote River where it intersects the Gulf of Mexico, Tarpon Springs is a rich mixture of culture, customs, and families. Its waterfront is a working seaport and shopping district with the unmistakable feel of a Grecian fishing village. Its downtown is a showcase of proud historic buildings and homes from the gracious Victorian era. It’s an unlikely blend of histories, and one you’ll find only in Tarpon Springs, Pinellas County’s oldest city.

Past Indian history in this beautiful coastal community predates the arrival of the first settlers in the early 1800’s. Soon after, the advent of the railroad and the building of the Anclote Key Lighthouse brought many positive changes to the area. The town’s Victorian influences stem from the late 1800’s to about 1905, when the seaside village became a playground for wealthy Northerners. These seasonal residents built luxurious estates along Spring Bayou. Soon Tarpon Springs gained fame as one of the great health centers and winter resorts of the time.

Two Cultures, One City... Tarpon Springs

Rich sponge beds, discovered in the 1880’s, spawned a flourishing new industry. In 1905, young sponge divers were recruited from the Dodecanese Islands of Greece. The sponge industry thrived, as did the Greek community, and the town’s focus changed. Some of the Greek immigrants who came to the area continue their traditional trade of sponge diving. Today Tarpon Springs is a showcase of both cultures, from its vintage Victorian era mansions and buildings to its lively Greek traditions and community.

Experience the flavor of Greece and the excitement of an authentic working waterfront on the Sponge Docks. Visit authentic Greek restaurants and bakeries, sponge diving and sightseeing tour boats, unique shops, antique shops and art galleries, and the St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Cathedral, home of the largest Epiphany celebration in the Western Hemispheres – No Passport Required!

ABOUT: In 2011, the formation began with the meeting of three individuals at a corner table at Barnes & Noble. Since then, the Pet Pantry of Lancaster County has undergone many changes and much growth. Those three individuals: Melody Sanders, Dr. Bryan Langlois, and Krystle Black, along with countless other volunteers and staff have all helped the Pet Pantry become THE ORGANIZATION in Lancaster County that is there day in and day out to “Meet the Need” of animals and their loving families.

The Pet Pantry was formed after all three of the individuals above realized that a need was not being met in Lancaster County. Many people were struggling. The economic downturn had left many making the heartbreaking decision to surrender their beloved pet solely because they lacked the funds to provide food for them. Others were choosing between feeding themselves or feeding their pets. Still, others were selling off all of their possessions to be able to provide their pets with food. There had to be a way to help these people and prevent these animals from leaving their loving families and ending up in the shelter system. Thus...the Pet Pantry of Lancaster County was born!

Averaging over 400 adoptions a year, 1,000 feral cat TNR surgeries a year, 70,000+ pounds of dry dog/cat food given out a year, 150+ families helped a year, over $250,000 in veterinary care a year to those in need, and 50+ life saving veterinary procedures a year for animals with no where else to turn to for help, the Pet Pantry truly has become the animal welfare organization in Lancaster County that is there to “Meet the Need” of animals and their families right here in Lancaster County and surrounding areas!
