York, PA - where was this?
This is a scan of a postcard from 1962 titled York County Shopping Center. I'm guessing this refers to York, PA. If you enlarge the photo you can see a Acme on one end. A W.T. Grant and what looks to be a Food Fair on the far right. This looks like a decent sized center, and I don't remember seeing anything resembling this in York. Can anyone identify what is there now? Thanks! Gary

Gary, this shopping center was located on Market St. on the east side of York, along old US 30. The shopping center also contained York's Sears for many years.

If you've been there more recently, the center built in the early 90's containing Giant and Lowe's is on the site that York County Shopping Center was on. The center was done after Sears moved to York Galleria, located in those mountains you see behind the center.

Right next to this was York Mall too, which has become nothing but Wal-Mart and Sam's now.
