  1. Those are great. I’ve seen them linked a bunch of places but finally took a look. Loved them. Some wise ass Edinboro art student should make one for Erie. I’ll get railed on for this – but I can’t stand the Erie banner wavers. Presque Isle IS incredible – most people are too ignorant to explore it beyond the one popular beach and the bike trail. The view from the lake makes the city look nice and Waldameer is a cute park. But that’s it. I always wished Kurt Russel would have made Escape From Erie.

    • A video like this for Edinboro or Erie (or even Pittsburgh) would definitely be awesome. I hope someone gets motivated enough to do this. Great idea

      • Yeah but Pittsburgh actually is a pretty decent place. I’m pretty sure it has been named most livable city in the US this year or last year. There are museums worth seeing more than once and professional sports teams. It definitely looks a lot better than Cleveland.

  2. It’s always voted most livable because of the low cost of living. The art scene is booming there (see: Bittersweet Harvest, right menu) but to really say it’s most livable is a joke.. The downtown is dead, towns like Homewood, Braddock, Edgewood/Swissvale, and Homestead/Hazelwood are fairly dangerous.

    Still, East Cleveland is awful. And according to most list, Cleveland is approx. the 11th most dangerous city in the States, while Pittsburgh lays around 60-70th.

    • Agreed on Pittsburgh and Cleveland. Pittsburgh always looks dead downtown because it has become like a midwest city in that the downtown is nothing but business and no residential and entertainment. So, everything dies down around 6pm. The bars and nightlife are all concentrated and outside the direct downtown area on the South Side, in Oakland/Shadyside, and elsewhere. The ‘most livable’ tag went to the entire metro area. The neighborhoods are dead because everyone moved out to the suburbs.

      The east side of Cleveland is sad. Pittsburgh is slowing reinvesting in the old industrial areas, but that takes time and money. I’d love to see Erie do the same because its basically a very large town with some nice neighborhoods, but they need to reinvest in the old industrial areas.
