[huskerjack23]

Have you ever been through here? What was your experience?

Check out yorknewstimes.com* for news, photos, and videos.

*i sort of work for the news-times. i'm an intern for the web department there.

Anyways, there are places outside of Lincoln and Omaha, and York is obviously one of them...17 County represent! Go Dukes!

I stop on the interstate part almost everytime I go to western Nebraska, but have only been through town a couple of times. It seems people are nice I guess

 

[stickman4705]

go to york once a year or so to see family. and yes...that balloon water tower is hideous

 

[krc1995]

I'm from York and that's all I'm gonna say about that.

 

[husker B-rent]

York is a piece of sh#t town, I'd know I lived there for 16 years and graduated from York High (I wasn't one of the mentally handicapped though). Dan Malleck the old boys basketball coach is a bafoon of epic proportions. All he did as a coach was suck Danielson d!(k, which is why he never did win a state tournament game in 12+ years as the head coach.

Hmmm... What else to add about York? Oh ya, the newspaper there is sh#t and the publisher is a bigot, just look at his blog. Eric Eckert their IT man is a complete retard, the man can't even create a forum in which curse words are banned (Ya, a moderator had to accept your post becaue he isn't smart enough to write a simple f'ing code in which it doesn't allow you to have a curse word in your post). He ended up taking the forums down because of his incompetancy.

Oh ya that water balloon is hideous.

But the golf course is VERY nice! Ask for Bill if you go, he's the man with a plan!

I was born and raised in York.

Home to some of the most expensive acres of farm land in the United States. A nice, small town where it's normal to leave your doors unlocked.

It's nicknamed, "The Crossroads of the Midwest" because it's the meeting place of Highway 81 (a major North/South route) and Interstate 80 (a major East/West route).

I can only go off of my own experiences, but the people I've met and gotten to know there are genuine and friendly. Honest, hard-working folks who are family oriented and love going to church on Sundays.

The water tower is ridiculous, but recognizable. It is what it is.

There's a large number of fast-food restaurants for a population that's under 9,000.

(Wendy's, Arby's, McDonald's, KFC/Taco Bell, Taco Johns (2), Burger King, Runza (2), Subway (3), Pizza Hut (3), Valentino's, China Buffet (2), Starbucks).

I'll agree that the newspaper isn't very good. Loads of typos and just a very mediocre team of contributors. Always get a kick out of the "For the Record" column with all the calls regarding mischievous behavior in the town.

York Country Club is a beautiful 18-hole golf course with an even nicer clubhouse. If your a golfer and you're ever in town, you need to try your luck on the back nine. The Aquatic Center on the East side of town is fairly new and is a wonderful place for younger kids to spend their summer afternoons. There are a couple parks, but they aren't anything special. Levitt Stadium is a fantastic baseball field located in the middle of town and the lights can be seen from the outskirts of town on a clear, Summer night. Being a huge baseball lover growing up, this was my sanctuary. I loved spending my Summers with my friends playing out under those lights. The seats hold 1,000 with loads of standing room, it's 405 feet to dead center, and is shared between the Legion teams (High School) and the York College Panthers.

Overall I am happy to have been born and raised there. Summers in York were hard to beat as a kid. High school was a blast because we had open campus lunch all four years (with the large number of fast-food places I mentioned earlier) and if you were a Senior, you also had the option to go home over your Study Hall period. Yes, life was good as a Senior at York High. The main sports (Basketball, Football, Track) were never anything to get excited about, football especially, but we always excelled in Cross Country and Golf.

Now that I've been living in Lincoln for 3 years, I kind of miss that place.

Yeah, high school was fun. What is there to do in York if you aren't between the ages of 8-18 and don't enjoy sports? Eat fast food?

York is still pretty sh**ty.

York is still pretty sh**ty.

Drinking, playing sports, and just goofing around were my favorite things to do...

You drank at age 8? Wow, you're a hardass. I did field work every summer since I was 14. I actually do miss it because I got to work with my buddies and we all just messed around the whole time (not to mention made a healthy salary for high school kids).

YorkFest is pretty lame I will agree. I used to have to toss out candy along side the NPPD truck in the parade because my father works there. Luckily my friends' parents work there too so it wasn't as embarassing.

 

[krc1995]

I don't mean to be anti-york, it was just a little boring growing up there. But then again, we got real creative so maybe that's worth something. I still go back 4-5 times a year. Heck I own a house and some farmland, so I have to. Mostly I just spend my time at the Elks club and occasionally venture over to the R for a steak. The three things I really miss, besides my good friends, are the Elks club, the old midway(not the new one)- you know with the mountain oyster feed on Fridays , and driving in the country checing the corn with a few friends and cooler. Oh, and of course the biggest miss of all is the football falls.

I would not leave my door unlocked in York. The La Cocina mexican resturaunt is the bomb. Had a burritto last night. Wal Mart is nice. Bowling Alleys pretty good.

I would not leave my door unlocked in York.

Why is that? Afraid of being robbed or something?
