#StevenTyler is still in #LancasterCountyPA. (@Aerosmith farewell tour that's no doubt being worked out at Rock Lititz starts end of week). Tyler visited local music store & played instruments, bought albums, made up songs, played "Dream On" on melodica. https://t.co/f5gBikwWFz

The lava lamp is lit in the newsroom of LNP + @LancasterOnline, y'all, signifying the start of

LNP + @LancasterOnline is rolling out a new mobile app today. If you have the original app on your phone/tablet already, you can just update it. Here's what's new in the app:

@wjmcentee I liked the episode when Smith returned to NYC early from a movie set, surprising Samantha, and she said, "You've meant more to me than any man I've ever known." She didn't say "I love you." That was very Samantha, and very sweet.

Holy cow! I was a teenager the last time the #Unemployment rate was this low in #Pennsylvania. #LancasterCountyPA rate for March was 2.7%, 2nd lowest in the state. Read @LisaScheid's report on @LancasterOnline: https://t.co/MWShF8np3X

Got this in a press release from the @PAChamber. Do you agree w/ the voting? @primantibros sandwich was winner of "Coolest thing made in #PA" bracket. "@ROCKLITITZ #SuperBowl Stage" was the purely #LancasterCountyPA item in competition (and was beaten by Musselman's applesauce).

Whether or not you've met fisherman, teacher, mentor, wrestling champ Joe Humphreys, 94, (he taught me ice skating at @Penn_State) @DailyCollegian article's worth reading. 1 additional detail: Humphreys used to take #JimmyCarter fishing at Spruce Creek.

A very interesting story by my @LancasterOnline colleague @BrettSholtis about the group Moms for Liberty, its agenda and its effect on Warwick School Board race (and meetings) https://t.co/4NoReJDVbz

@lesley_nicol It's actually my favorite kitchen tool. It cores anything you need to get the seeds out of -- doesn't only make melon balls.

If you saw #JerseyBoys @
@FultonTheatre in #LancasterPA this summer, you saw John Battagliese @jaybattsby portray Bob Gaudio. On today's episode of @KellyClarksonTV he sang a Beatles/Joe Cocker tune with 4 others chosen from across the US #KellyokeSearch https://t.co/hLHy3coNba
