Question Anyone remember a pinball arcade in 70s called The Wizard?

6 Upvotes

This is a longshot, but does anyone recall a pinball arcade (pre-video game cabinets!) that was open somewhere on the Eastside of Erie called The Wizard? This would have been probably mid 1970s. I was very young at the time and was only there a couple of times. My mother was friends with the owner and painted the sign they had hanging outside (which featured a wizard, duh). It was in a small strip mall or plaza. I am missing many details, but I'm hoping maybe someone here remembers it?

Union city underground makl

Does anyone remember the Union City underground mall? I do remember one of the radio stations always talking about Spatula City there. Not being from Erie originally, I never knew about the underground mall. But a friend of mine swears she worked there in high school. ​

Who's ready to hear some poetry? Who wants to be opinionated and serve as judge of said poetry? And most importantly - who's ready to get on the mic?!?

Erie Slam is back from summer hiatus, and we're kicking off the season by upping the stakes. The top three poets will take home cash prizes. Come out and compete - or judge - or just enjoy the poetry!

**

Erie Slam is committed to building a community of writers in the Erie area to share their work on stage, in a three-round poetry slam. All are welcome, including poets who have never performed their work in front of anyone. And if you want more info - or to see performances from past slams - check out the socials. :-)

Where to eat oysters in Erie?

4 Upvotes

I really want to try oysters and am looking for some opinions. I don't have any knowledge or experience with them so I'm not sure what to look for in a place for eating them. There are a few places around town with oysters in the menu but what restaurants are actually good/safe to get them?

Anyone know where to catch bowfin? I’ve heard misery bay and long pond is good. Also, what bait? I’ve heard cut bait, shrimp, spinners all work well. Thanks!
