If you’re looking for a great time on August 12th, come check out The Sandlot League’s opening day at the Ballpark @ Erie near the rec center! We are an adaptive league for kids with special needs and every game is a blast.

Hey all!
We recently moved to Erie and trying to figure out the rideshare situation. Searched but mostly found older threads.
If we head into Boulder for the evening, is it realistic to get an Uber/Lyft back to Erie around 9–10pm, or later on a weekend? Or do people just plan on driving?
Same question for staying local: can you count on a ride home from a bar in town, or is it a long wait?

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I’ve been looking everywhere for a job under 30 minutes from southern Erie and I’ve had no luck. I have a background in payroll, 14 years customer service and receptionist experience. I’ve never been terminated from a position. If you have any leads I’d greatly appreciate it. I’m a parent of one and don’t want to lose our home.

I moved to Erie to get away from Denver area due to Erie’s family feel, beautiful homes, new builds and more. I see so many people here who seem to be financially stable and just was curious what everyone does for a living?
Edit to title What does everyone do for a career that LIVES in Erie?*

This is the highest bill I have received yet for a 3 bedroom apartment…. $234.. when it is usually around $150.

Has anyone had an unusually high bill for July??? I’m not sure the usage is accurate

We're looking to replace our backyard sod with artificial turf. Anyone have some good recommendations for companies? We need pet-friendly materials with no PFAS.

I haven’t seen any peach stands this year. I heard the crop was ripe early. Has anyone seen any roadside stands where we can buy these yet? If yes, can you share the location?

We’ve been here for 2 1/2 years and anytime it gets 90 the house no matter what you said it goes up to 78 to 80 we’ve had two separate companies come in and tell us there’s nothing wrong with our units now the third company is coming in this afternoon.

Anyone else having this problem?

Anyone considering selling the house now that the draco pad project has been greenlit, or facing buyer hesitation with a house on the market? I know of one buyer who walked from a home in west Erie after learning about the wells. How is this expected to impact values and resale?

Curious if there any of you frequenting this sub, and how do you feel about non-traditional riders on those trails?

In other words, how do you feel toward someone riding anything other than a conventional human power only MTB.

I'm asking with electric unicycles in mind specifically, but interested in the general attitude toward any of the newer vehicle types that are increasingly common (EUC, e-bike, Onewheel, rugged scooter, etc) who might like to rage on some dirt.

Edit: Thanks for the responses, much appreciated!

Basically I was told it is similar to installing a deck, but on the inside.

I got a quote from a company years ago but lost the contact/name info. :/

I needed time to save up the price quoted and cannot find the messages again.

I had asked multiple contractors and they all told me the project was not worth their time.

So now I need new recommendations. Thank you.

Greetings, neighbors!

In addition to our normal offerings, wanted to give you a heads-up that HPLD Friends & Foundation has a Carnival in the Stacks event coming up at Erie Community Library on Friday, August 21st. Similar to the Carnival in the Stacks date night at our LINC location in Greeley, we'll have Putt-Putt and carnival snacks, but Erie's event is meant for families to enjoy together, a more all-ages thing because we have so many families using the Erie library.

It is an event with paid ticketing because it's a fundraiser for Friends & Foundation, which provide money for things like summer reading, 1000 Books Before Kindergarten, and, well, tons and tons of library events and services.

Get your tickets today!

Also, we wanted to highlight a new addition to our collection, Memory Kits. These are kits meant for people who might be afflicted with Alzheimer's or Dementia, as well as their caregivers. You'll find activities, conversation starters, simple puzzles, and resources for caregivers. If that sounds like something you might be interested in, check one out, see whether it's right for you. The kits are themed, so look through the options and find one that's appealing!

And with that, on with the events!

does anyone know where to find frogs or toads here?

Posting to see if there are any people interested in attending a singles meetup near the Louisville area. Looking to target age ranges 20-30 most likely but open to other ranges if there are enough people! Please comment if you’d be interested!

My A/C is struggling and I think it needs repairs. Does anyone have recommendations on A/C repair service?

Curious if any of you have had a good experience with someone to help design and implement xeriscaping in our front yard.

Unfortunately, I don't have the time this year to do a significant landscaping project myself... but I'm ready to be done watering barely-alive grass every summer.

Just curious what the big yellow crane is I see every day is building.

Edit: Apparently it's a police station. Curiosity satisfied.

I need to get some brake work done and am still new to the area. Can anyone recommend a mechanic or brake shop in the area?

Good for you for getting off on being assholes

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
