It’s birthday month here at Your Local Link, and what an amazing 19 years we have had so far. From competitive ping-pong tournaments, ‘Come Dine With Me’ lunchtimes in the office and 2pm Worldle games, there is never a dull moment. Asides from surviving a pandemic, in the last couple of years we’ve seen an exciting move from our little office in Haxby to our new office base in the labyrinth that is Clifton Moor Industrial Estate. We’ve also proudly grown our readership to reach over 90,000 households and have witnessed over 16,000 followers across all of our social media platforms. None of this would be made
possible without the incredible support of our advertisers and loyal readers, to whom we owe a lot of thanks. Above everything, we feel especially lucky to represent the city of York itself. Steeped rich in history, with some of the strangest street names going and probably more bridges than bus stops (maybe an ever-so-slight exaggeration, but still…), this is a place like no other. With lots to see, do and explore in the area, we thought we’d share some of our favourite things about this fab city that we all call home: Helen: “We have some really interesting history in this city and I love that York is supposed to be the most haunted city in Europe. I lived in Leeds for over 20 years but fell in love with York in the last couple of years by visiting as a tourist from Leeds, and chose to move to the city by myself four years ago and I still act like a tourist.” Emily: “I love York because there’s always something going on! This city is full of amazing independent businesses, delicious food, and some really cool events every month.

Scott: “The thing I love about York is it is the history it holds. All of the old buildings and quirky narrow streets are full of charm and I think as York residents we can often take it all for granted!”

Sarah: “It’s a small city with a big heart. Proud to say that I come from York when I meet anyone, people are always so jealous. It still astounds me that the magazine goes into every home and I’m always surprised at how much is going on in the city when I read the events diary in the magazine each month.” Mim: “I love York because of all the independent shops and restaurants we are lucky enough to have in the city centre!”

Gary: “I’ve lived in York my whole life and it just has a nice charm to it. I love that oldie-world feel that you don’t really get in many other cities and that there’s a lot going on for such a small place.” Here’s to another fantastic year in the best city going!
