retail, they say, is dead.
well, "they" have never been to camp hill.
In recent years, the small, historic borough
on the western side of the susquehanna
has experienced a resurgence of shops,
boutiques and other businesses, especially
on and around market street.
And even more interesting—most of
these new businesses are woman-owned.
that's why, for this month's cover, we
decided to gather together some of the
female entrepreneurs who have set up
shop (so to speak) in camp hill, as we
feature our first-ever focus on "women in
business."
of course, this phenomenon isn't
exclusive to camp hill. Just last year,
we gathered together a large group of
harrisburg businesswomen for another
photo shoot, one that honored their
roles in strengthening and advancing
the city's food scene. In fact, in recent
years, we've written about woman-owned
business throughout the region—from
hummelstown to Linglestown to carlisle.
It's fascinating that, in the age of Amazon,
these enterprising women have been able
to identify niches that e-commerce just
can't match, then build businesses around
them. retail isn't dead. It's just changing—
and women are leading the way.
speaking of leaders, our march edition
is packed with them. In this issue, we
feature local leaders who are taking on
such weighty issues as higher education,
health, poverty and even the promotion
of peace. we're proud to have all of
these ambitious, concerned people in our
community.
hey, it's march—a little warmer, a lot less
snowy, the occasional hint of spring in
the air. I may be jumping the gun, but I'm
ready to pack away the parka and start
thinking about long runs along the river,
long forays into the countryside and long
dinners outdoors.

We'd like to offer a special thanks to the
Susquehanna Art Museum for letting us shoot
our cover photo in their spectacular space.
