It was certainly a surprise when I received an invitation to a family member's wedding at a Cork Factory in the urban area of Lancaster, Pa, my hometown. It had been years since I had seen that area of the city. My recollection was of old dilapidated factories left abandoned from the manufacturing era. What I found was The Cork Factory Hotel, a registered Historic Hotel of America.

The factory had been humming since 1865. The site sat idle for years and was bought in 2004 to become Urban Place. It is a hot spot for weddings and events. The environment is a cross between modern and rustic with an industrialized flair.
A restaurant, bar, veranda, courtyard, and clean, simple, sun-filled room with high ceilings marked this hotel as a worthwhile visit. And the wedding was a blast with perfect staff coordination of event planning. The music was pulsating as tasty food and drinks were provided with great service.
