Review of Erie, Pennsylvania


Erie, PA
Star Rating - 7/15/2011
If you've never been here, it's a great place to visit. Be aware, it's a mini-city. Not too big, not too small. Good employment options, many nice people, on a wonderful lake, a wide range of excellent education options and an amazing cost of living. We have plenty of restaurants, shopping, gambling, and activities. A great mix of people and very accessible to many other areas you may want to visit such as Niagara Falls, Pittsburgh, Cleveland and Buffalo. I am happy that I moved here and until I get tired of experiencing all the season's, I intend to stay.

I love Erie because of the lake, low cost of living, and outdoor activities, but let me correct one thing, THERE ARE NO JOBS IN ERIE. Its hard to get a job at Walmart when you live here. The RARE occasion a job gets posted, it only pays $10/hour or less. Its sickening. I moved away over a year ago and make a lot more money than I could have ever made in Erie.
