My parents are from Lancaster County. The road planning folks had zero future thoughts of population growth. In the early 2000s, Rt 30 underwent a complete redo in the area closest to Lancaster City. Balfour Beatty fucked it up badly and was kicked off (paraphrasing that part).
Fun anecdote about the Pennsylvania Autobahn (Rt 222)....
When that part of 222 was brand new my mom got lost on it. We had been living in California, where my father was posted in the Army, and had come home to visit family. The highway portion being brand new caught my mom off guard, and we ended up in the Reading area and not going towards Millersville. Basically, we arrived late due to taking the scenic route. 😂😂 My mother's version of "oopsy" was something like, "Well, that was interesting."

Way back in the day, my father was an Army recruiter based out of an office in Torrance. For some reason, his region included all of San Berdoo County. As many people who lived in that part of California, the Army just didn't think it was important to have more recruiting offices.
This was during 1979-1982. We lived on Beach BLVD at the time.

Ahhh.... that would make it the Santo Domingo Creek, which joins Lititz Run nearby.

I did same as you except I always said I came from Ephrata, in Lancaster County. My parents are from Lancaster County but I grew up an Army brat.

Are you referring to the Welsh Mountain area? Hatfield vs McCoys, that area.
