Giant Dump
Born and raised in Erie pa, Lucky enough to earn an above average living here. (Moved out of Erie) However in the big sceme of things that doesn’t mean much two people working at McDonald’s make an above average living here. Erie is home to the poorest zip code in state of PA - 16503 where average annual income is under 11,000. Erie is the epitome of terrible liberal politics and a horrible education system. Kindergarten teachers make 75,000 a year but annual household incomes hover around 28,000. Erie was listed by wall street journal as number 1 worst city in country for black people. Growing up in Erie I would state crime and poverty are rampant in the black communities. There are nice areas left very few there is however a giant bridge that’s crumbling people want to spend millions to save. Also a very large historic landmark was demolished and turned into a parking lot for a crummy car dealership. (Koehler Brewery) Anyone wants to know what life is like in Erie watch the extreme home makeover special where they gave a woman a house who never paid her bills or taxes.
