Why Lancaster: Kate Behrenshausen
08.17.09 // Posted in Lancaster, Why Lancaster
During the month of August we will be posting answers to the question WHY LANCASTER?
Kate Behrenshausen is an English teacher at Cocalico High School and the author of MainlyVeggie.com, a pescetarian recipe blog. She enjoys cooking for friends, family, and her husband Bryan.
Why Lancaster?
Lancaster continually impresses me with its ability to both fuse and juxtapose the old with the new. It is a city of contrasts. Its narrow streets host a wealth of architectural styles, from Colonial to Art Deco, yet these buildings house residents, businesspeople, city officials, and students working towards modernity and change. Many are attracted to the city by its quaint, austere Amish roots, but those visitors can easily discover dozens of quirky boutiques, unique restaurants, hip hangouts, and inspirational galleries. The city’s historical elements emphasize how far Lancaster has come over the years; simultaneously, they absorb the new into structures and beliefs that have existed here for centuries.
As a graduate of Millersville University, I discovered and explored quite a bit in the city and its surrounding areas during my college years. I tasted everything from sushi to Nietzsche for the first time here. When I first moved away from home, I found comfort in the idea that I could still turn to my existing interests – books, cooking, shopping, theater – but uncover new facets of them in this setting. This very practice of confounding my expectations and building on past experiences is what drew me back to the city even after I’d graduated.
So why Lancaster? I choose Lancaster because, like me, it’s an ever-evolving blend of meaningful traditions, forward-thinking inspirations, well-intentioned risks, and hope for a happy future.

Spot-on description of a great city! Ms. Behrenshausen seems to be the type of young professional that helps Lancaster continue to thrive and grow.

Well said Kate. This is why I’m willing to commute 90 minutes to DeSales and two and a half hours to Rutgers. I would rather live here and drive than move to either of those places.

These are the exact reasons why we moved back here to Lancaster after living in Maryland for a few years. This is a great place to have a family, a career, and even a bit of fun every now and then.
