It was nice to see Erie from a tourist point of view. I’ve been here my entire life and never went to the ski lodge. You made me think of what else is here I haven’t experienced yet. You should come in the summer. We have some really cool spots. Having someone from the area to show you around would be a totally different experience for you.

Ive been in Erie most my life. Sometimes you forget what this city has to offer. Winters are long and rough sometimes. But because of that the summer's more than make up for it. When everything is up and running, its like the whole city gets together and celebrates the weather. So many activities in the summer. Car shows, block parties, festivals, fairs, sports, bike nights, etc.... I would highly recommend coming back in the summer months. Nothing quite like it.

I moved away from Erie to Louisiana 27 years ago. The only thing I really miss about Erie is my friends. There are a lot of good people there.

As someone who lived in Erie, PA when they were younger, this video portrayed a wonderful view, this was great.

Thank you Dan, I Am pleased to see that you enjoyed Erie, Pennsylvania and hope you return during the summer and enjoy the festivities then. God Bless and take care.

Glad you started the video at our famous peninsula...We do have top 5 best sunsets in the world...Our Smith Hot Dogs, Sponge candy, pepperoni balls, Oakwood Reuben sandwich and Sara's right as you enter Presque Isle best summer spot for food and sunset..Thanks for visiting and sharing

This video popped up on my KZread today. Living here, we sometimes forget what a great city we live in. No matter where you live, big city or small town, there are wonderful things to see and do. Come in the summer and explore the wineries and local festivals. Thanks for pointing out why we love Erie so much. Winter or summer, there is always something to see or do. Safe travels my friend.

Very cool! Was just at Presque Isle this year and it is completely frozen! I was born in Erie and moved back after 34 years of living in Dallas Texas and will never go back! Erie for life!

Then, there was one day where there was like some sort of fight that caused every hood member/smoker to come into the street and fight. It was terrible because they needed at least 12 police cars. We used to have yellow metal chairs that would stand on our porch and one guy took it to hit someone in the fight. My mom, being a Slav, simply walked out and took the chair from him. I'm not kidding. The East part of Erie is the literal definition of the Hood. Also, at least once a day, some car would come driving through the street rumbling the windows with how high the bass of their music is in their car. Then, there was also an incident on our street where a car flipped over because of some drunk driver. A girl was also run over on our street. I'm not sure if she's dead or not, but it was bad. There was also an incident where this underage girl took a car and with her siblings was driving down the street, and her little brother flew out the car because she was driving so fast. He died of course. There is so much I can say that it's crazy. Then, we had the occasional "friends" as children who would steal our bikes/scooters/soccer balls because their parents couldn't afford it for them.

In Erie poverty is rampant, I’m born and raised. It’s also one of the most unhappy places in the US if I remember correctly. People here are open and usually very nice thou, we aren’t afraid to help someone either if needed. But visiting is great and I can recommend several mom and pop kinda restaurants. Along with little theaters. We have year round an event called Gallery Night, where galleries open for free. Also a motorcycle event that draws thousands of people to Erie each year. So visiting is very good but living not so much 🤷‍♀️

Next time hit up locals to show you what you didn’t get to see you missed a lot I’d be glad to help if you revisit

I enjoyed watching your video and going along with you on your adventures. I live about 45 minutes south Erie. I'm a Gramma so even though I live near Erie I am not able to ski/hike as much as I want, which is why it makes it so enjoyable to watch you do it. Sometimes people can't travel or do things because of physical disabilities but we can enjoy it through you. So thank you for that. One more thing, you should check out Letchworth State Park in New York. It has beautiful waterfalls in the woods. It's one of my favorite places to go.

Great Video! Erie really does have a lot to offer. As others have stated, Erie really comes alive in the summer, the weather is just phenomenal. If you love snow Erie also doesn't disappoint. We have very distinct seasons and the advantage of no natural disaster type weather. Supposedly Erie is within 500 miles of 50% of the US population. Also Presque Isle state park has more visitors every year than Yellowstone. Been here my whole life, I appreciate visiting other parts of the world, but I can't imagine living elsewhere.

But the reality is the not great areas are in pockets of the city, parts of the area I described are actually quite nice. Anywhere in Millcreek or Harborcreek which are the two townships that surround the city directly are great places to be. Summit, McKean and Fairview townships are also great places and all are a very short drive from Erie proper. There are some good older neighborhoods in the city itself, Glenwood is the one that comes to mind. The area around Peach Street south of about 38th Street is also very nice and where many of the more affordable homes are. These are not hard and fast rules but it's pretty easy to figure out if an area is nice or not. Generally the areas where most houses are listed under $100k are not great parts of town.

To answer the hunting question, given when you were here, likely duck or goose, out over the lake. Come here in November, we also have a 2 day deer hunt in parts of the state park. One my wife, daughter, son in law, and I make sure we never miss. You should come down in the summer for a week or two. The park is nice to check out then, events all through the summer, including a national level bike meet, food truck festival, an a lot more, worth checking out.
