teenagers in york pa built in 1912 the shady dell was a private residence until 1945 when new owners john helen ettline opened it to the public initially as a bakery and ice cream parlor in the early 1950s the dell evolved into a full service restaurant and dance hall home away from home for thousands of young people across central pa it was here in this hallowed hall the barn dance hall that tom misspent his youth from 1965 to 1971 at the dell the handwriting was on the wall literally disapproving parents teachers cops clergy and self appointed guardians of our morals branded the dell a den of iniquity false rumors circulated that the dell was a safe haven for juvenile delinquents and criminal activity teens who frequented the juke joint were called dell rats we eagerly embraced the label debbie the dellette stop flirting pam that s my dad dell owners john and helen ettline let kids be kids they earned our respect by allowing us to have fun and blow off steam without strict
