York County Steam Whistle Concert - "White Christmas"

Since 1925, one of York county's most treasured traditions has been the New York Wire Co.'s annual steam whistle Christmas concert. (Not to be forgotten: The steam whistle played an integral role in the civilian defense alert system during World War II.)

Unfortunately, the boiler that produces the steam recently failed and is in need of repair. You can contribute by donating to:

Just look at York's oridances this breaks 3 laws that I can think of. Disorderly conduct. Prohibited acts. Not to mention a noise oridance. Monday though Saturday you can't make loud noises from 9:00 pm to 7:00 am. On Sunday's it noon until you're allows to make noise.

@zergy1 i agree

Typical NIMBY assclowns who complain at the drop of a hat just for the sake of complaining. These "people" are the reason so much is wrong in this country. The factory and/or tradition (A ONE NIGHT TRADITION) has been there longer than any of you NIMBY assholes have ever lived in York, PA. So, either STFU and deal with it like a good resident, or get the fuck up and move your complaining ass somewhere else. BTW, the cops could care less about noise ordinances ,they get paid regardless.

@zergy1 it is

Actually, the cops do care what I think, as I pay part of their salary. And when NYW starts this crap, the cops will be getting a call. As they have for the last several years.

@GARYWTREIBLE Sweet. Truth is no one cares what you think!

The steam whistle "concert" is a Costco pallet load of suck. True, it happens once a year, but so does a rectal exam, and that doesn't make it any better.
