Jack the Ripper Conference 2012 in York

[Tom_Wescott]

I've heard that York is very charming in parts. Almost like going back in time. And that the locals are friendly to tourists, even Americans. If anyone has some atmospheric pictures of York, I'd enjoy seeing them on this thread.

Yours truly,

I like the timing. The Olympics will be over, it's the anniversary of the Double Event, and September 29 is my wife's birthday. (Perhaps I can convince her that a trip to York is part of her birthday celebration...nah, probably not.) I'll start saving my pennies.
