I went up to Erie for a gig at the Warner Theatre there last spring. First time in that corner of the state.

I thought it was a cute town? Although it had a definite “place in transition” vibe, I couldn’t tell if things were getting better or worse? One thing I did notice was that every place I went to dinner closed their kitchen an hour earlier than what was posted on Google. Like, one place is a mistake, but three places seemed weird?

Biggest bright side is the housing market. I could sell my eastern PA row home and buy a mansion in Erie. And if I wouldn’t have a six hour drive to most of my gigs, it would be absolutely tempting.
