Description

PREVIEW: Jim McTague, former Washington editor of Barron's and now a Lancaster novelist, investigates signs of an economic slowdown. Despite national press reports, he hasn't found significant evidence locally. Interviewing "Phil the painter," McTague learned his workload remained consistently busy for five years. While some Lancaster business segments experience moderated foot traffic, potentially seasonal, the only clear slowdown sign McTague observes is in housing, where prices are being cut for the first time since 2021, suggesting a localized or nascent shift.
