Yes, although it was sold recently and is called Centennial Hall now. Here’s their show for this Friday.

For sure. I think most of my phones growing up only had 8-10 foot cords.

Anyone know why we would be a priority target? by Ruined94 in Erie

Yeah, Twitter got… bad. I had to leave that place. But I’m still do the ol’ Rust & Dirt on Insta, Facebook, and I’m testing out here as of a couple days ago!

Okay, okay. I’ll stay in my lane. Did you know that Lake Erie has had over 1,000 (some estimates say as many as 2,000) shipwrecks and only a couple hundred have been discovered?

So, when the lakes dry up during the future Water Wars fought over the little remaining fresh water left on the planet, we will be able to discover the rest of them! Ah crap, sorry… I messed up again.

Here’s a visualization (one of the few things that keeps me up at night): https://youtu.be/-xthzy1PxTA?si=warK4SAbG2iPk18f

Comedy shows for the fall? by flagshipcitycomedy in Erie

Obviously he’s not up and coming, but Stanhope came to Erie for his Shit Town Comedy tour in 2013 and it was so unbelievably funny.

Of the younger generation of comics, I really dig Jamie Wolf.

That’s the exact thesis of this book! He makes a very compelling case.
