You think of this one yourself, Bobo? Just a damn expert on tourism, aren't you?

Another body. Unwashed. But warm.
Now - you don't believe in tourism, right? There's no tourism in Lancaster County, right? And of course no tourism in NYC.
I guess I don't have a friend in Pennsylvania, eh? Just family.

Ah, can't make a decent arguement so you resort to insults. Typical of the lower classed ignorant folk. I don't know what you think you proved, unless it was that I am right? Thank you? Your interesting little travel brochure says nothing to our discussion. You seem to forget that you made the claim that Lancaster county was ALL tourist...which you then whittled down to 70%...further backed by bogus numbers that you tried to twist around to support your bullstuff. The numbers don't lie, as I showed you. The majority of employment in Lancaster County (home to the smallest population of Amish People in the US) is clearly not related to tourism. Granted, to anyone that has been to Lancaster County (you haven't I'm sure) there is a stretch of Route 30 (and off as well) that is full of tourist stuff. But there is clearly a ton of work done in Lancaster County, and an overwhelming population of people, that have nothing to do with tourism.
I never stated that lancaster County has no tourism. My statements are in print, look at them. I only state that much, much more goes on in Lancaster County than tourism...which I believe is what your brochure is stating.
Listen little girl, or whatever you are, if lying and misrepresentation are your only tools for making an arguement, just go away. You are bad at it.

Oooh - you get so red and puffy when you're angry!

I suggested that there were a good many tourists in Lancaster County and you have gone ballistic. I figure you mustn't have a lot to do - it not being high season there. What with the low tourist count - you're probably sitting around drinking - what PBR? Rolling Rock? Or are you a micro brewery aficionado?
Goot Pennsylvania Dutch bier
by Lew Bryson
Lew Bryson, who quite obviously lives in Pennsylvania, leads this tasting. He writes about beer for Malt Advocate and Ale Street News. His Pennsylvania Breweries is a best of breed book.
Hey now! Velcome to Pennsylvania Dutch Bier Country! Sit down vunst und get some goot Cherman biers, brewed right here in der Commonvealth. Ve got some Ying-ling, some Schtoudt's, some Penn, und a real big vun from der boys down to Wictory! Get vat you vant out from der icebox, and ve'll trink some vunst.
Whew! I grew up with that kind of talk in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. When I moved away in 1985, the best beer you could find there were the two porters from Yuengling and The Lion. But boy, when I moved back in 1991, things were changing. Now we have some of the finest German-style microbrewers in the country, and Yuengling, the nation's oldest brewery, is going like a house afire: 400% growth in the 1990s, with no signs of slowing down.
I picked out four of the best, though that doesn't even touch the Keystone State's fine ale brewers like Yards, Tr

But there is nothing like the Manhattan skyline on that side of the pond.
Hey - Just for you! A thread on movies about NYC!

Though keeping those buildings warm in the winter has got to be a chore. I know. I know - it's all about atmosphere and not comfort. That's why you folks favor skirts  Got to be ready at a moment's notice.
I suspect that you have not been in some of the older Eastern seaboard cities. Not too shabby though expensive.

I've visited Edinburgh a couple of times, Scottish. Really enjoyed it! A lovely city with a mix of old and new.

No, not angry. Just speakin' my mind. No reason to hold back, it's just a discussion forumn. Did I scare you? I'm so sorry.
No, I don't drink beer, thanks for asking. I'm a wine drinker, when I drink. Red. You seem so interested, do you want to ask me out? I'm flattered, but I don't think you are my type. You seem like the psycho b_____ from hell, judging from your many postings...you go on about pee, unwashed bodies, nonsense of all kinds...and those are your good postings, I'm sure.
P.S. - I'm surprised you didn't guess Yeungling, though.

Sounds more like Philly than Lancaster county.
Imported no doubt.

French is the best, of course, but the California reds have often tasted pretty damn good, and been priced as high too - too bad. Hell, go cheap and buy an Aussie cabernet and you might very well end up with a decent wine, if not just use it to make stew. Just have to be the right distance from the equator and have the right soil. Location, location, location.

I became a fan of Chilean wines while south of the border

But New York has vineyards and wineries. And very nice tours I might add while we are talking about NY Tourism
As an aside, Virginia is getting into the wine business - and business it is. There is a local grape in Maryland and Virginia which is just unsuited for wine. When I was a kid in Maryland, it was normal to see wild grapes growing in the woods. They were used for jellies. The colonists tried to make wine - apparently it was too bad even for a desperate alkie.
I understand that the French % in the wine market is shrinking. And that even the French have conceded that California wines are their match.

...now who is the pretentious one? I think the middle atlantic states have some ability to produce a good grape, but the soil, like you said, needs to be just so. After location there is that other factor - experience. Yeah, the California reds are damn good, then pops up the factors like rain...one part of the world gets too much or too little at the wrong time and there goes the crop. I would imagine that if a person is going to choose between a French or Italian red, or something pretty good from Cali., for less money, they will go with the domestic. I think eventually the market will even out as Cali prices go up. I have to love going into just about any grocery store in France, anywhere, and getting a better selection than our state stores here in the Peoples Republic of Pennsylvania.
