WHERE YOU WILL PRACTICE – YORK PENNSYLVANIA
York, Pennsylvania, may not have a towering skyline, but when it comes to historical landmarks, this small metro area (dubbed the White Rose City in reference to the symbol of England's House of York) more than holds its own. The region's bragging rights include being the onetime home of the Continental Congress, the birthplace of the Articles of Confederation and even the capital of the U.S. for a brief period.
Newcomers to York will find remnants of its rich history and industrial heritage coloring the urban landscape, from restored Colonial-era buildings to unexpected touches of playful public sculpture made from bits of old York machinery. York's shops, high-end apartments and special events – along with a flourishing arts community – have led to downtown living verging on trendy and a growing number of visitors to Downtown, Market and Royal Square districts that make up York's major activity centers.
