I thought that this was a neat thing to stumble upon. The town just uploaded the 1928 plan for Old Town.
The image is below, but the original is higher-def, so it might be easier to see it on the town portal.
Hey folks! I was hoping to catch tomorrow's fireworks. Where are some good viewing spots around town? Ill be joined by some folks with limited mobility, so walkingtall over for the actual community center even may be quite challenging for us. Thanks for the tips!
I was sifting through town documents after a recent vacation and uncovered an interesting development.
It looks like some local Erie residents are looking to create Lucky Crane Arcade and Vending Co. @ 510 Kattell St. For reference, that's across from Coal Creek Park's parking lot, a couple of buildings away from CyclErie, Blackjack, & Fox Dog.
From their application: We are launching a curated experiential arcade and vending business in Erie, where we have lived for 16 years, with a planned opening date of early 2027. Our theme is a Japanese-inspired arcade with curated, upscale vending offering. We will have gachapon machines, unique quality vending offerings, claw machines (that you can actually win!) and traditional single and multi-player arcade games
Renderings from the application below (or at least I think it's below... reddit changed its post-authoring while I was gone):
Keep it short, no time to read a novel.
I don’t know why any resident would be happy about this, but I also don’t feel educated on all of it.
👋🏽 we’re visiting the area and curious about the rationale of celebrating the 4th of July on June 27th? Are there other festivities held on the 4th?
Found this on top of our shed this morning. Quite large. Those are regular sized house shingles. If it was on the ground I'd think it's from the coyote we've seen around but I assume this had to climb the pine tree to get on top.
Raccoon? If so, I had no idea they could produce such large scat. I've never seen one around at all, but that doesn't mean they haven't come around. My guess is the home building north of Red Hawk elementary is pushing some wildlife out to other areas.
North of Erie Parkway between 119th and Meller.
My yard was previously xeriscaped with gravel / small rocks. I’ve piled it all up and I’m giving it away for free. Message me for the address
ETA: No one messaged me about the gravel 😂. Wild Bill’s Recycled Aggregates picked it up, broke up the compacted soil under, delivered new top soil, and spread it. It was a fair price, quick turnaround, and they did a great job. I highly recommend them!
A lot of you probably know by now that the council's 3-3 vote last week rejected the mineral rights sale... but that it's coming back up tomorrow (from Erie's weekly email: https://www.erieco.gov/CivicSend/ViewMessage/Message/293466)
This is late notice, but I just saw the public participation links now through an Erie weekly email.
