Hi Vivian,      There was some opposition at the meeting the other night to the whole concept because it would attract tourists, and some people in Lancaster County have an aversion to tourists because they clog these back country roads.  I don't think what the Planning Commission is looking at will draw all that many tourists, there is a limited amount of interest in Heritage Tourism.                                                                                                Jim   ________________________________ From: "wintertime@netonecom.net" <wintertime@netonecom.net> To: palancas@rootsweb.com Sent: Thu, November 18, 2010 4:43:28 PM Subject: Re: [PALANCAS] Conestoga Road Hi, Why not make both roads historial roads.
