Erie’s Victory Ride marks a decade of joy

Motorcycles lined up on West 32nd Street as the EHCA Victory Ride hit its ten-year milestone, bringing together the community to celebrate and support people with intellectual and physical disabilities. Riders from the Chrome Angels offered sidecar rides, letting participants feel the thrill of the open road and the joy of accomplishment. The day buzzed with a scavenger hunt, live music, snacks, and plenty of prizes—turning a simple ride into a full-blown festival. Events like this show how a little fun and togetherness can make a real difference in Erie. What’s your favorite way to give back locally? #News #EriePA #CommunitySupport

Erie’s lemonade stand makes a real difference

Aaron Kehl is back at it—serving up lemonade and hope right here in Erie. This young neighbor has already raised over $5,500 for local causes, and now he’s supporting the Mercy Center for Women’s housing programs. If you’re around on Sunday, swing by 5774 Nickel Drive between 2 and 4 p.m. for a glass that goes beyond quenching your thirst. Every dollar helps women in our community find safe housing. It’s amazing to see how a simple lemonade stand can bring us together for something so important. Who’s stopping by to support? #Food #EriePA #CommunitySupport

Lake Erie’s bayfront is about to come alive with the sights and sounds of the Tall Ships Erie Festival! From August 21-24, you can step aboard historic ships, chat with their crews, and even catch a ride on the water.

Erie neighbors talk breaking parolee stigma

Hearing firsthand from parolees about job hunting, health care struggles, and rebuilding credit really puts things in perspective. At Second Baptist Church, folks from all walks of life gathered to talk honestly about the barriers people face after prison—and how these challenges ripple through the whole Erie community. The biggest takeaway? Real change needs everyone at the table, not just more meetings. Investing in our neighborhoods and seeing past labels could make a real difference. What do you think would help break the cycle and support people starting over? #News #EriePA #CommunitySupport

Erie’s tiniest locals rock 814 Day onesies

Newborns at Erie’s biggest hospitals just got the cutest hometown welcome—decked out in special 814 Day onesies! Saint Vincent and UPMC Hamot celebrated our area code in style, dressing up the newest Erieites (including twins Vincent and Salvatore from Meadville and little Brooks from Millcreek) in Erie Apparel’s custom outfits. It’s a small gesture, but seeing these babies repping 814 from day one is a sweet reminder of local pride. What do you think—should more community traditions start this young? #News #EriePA #814Day

Save A Lot is back in Erie—here’s what’s new

Shoppers in Erie just got a big change at their neighborhood grocery stores: Save A Lot has officially returned to its Broad St. and W. 12th St. locations after months of confusion with different branding. The company stepped in after an independent operator rebranded the stores without permission, leading to a court takeover. Now, the familiar Save A Lot signs, banners, and deals are back, but the stores haven’t been renovated yet. What do you think—does having the original brand back make a difference for your grocery shopping? #Food #EriePA #SaveALot

Erie’s historic Brewerie gets a new chapter

Jessica Warren just made history in Erie by becoming one of the few women in the U.S. to fully own a brewery—less than 3% nationwide! The Brewerie at Union Station is still pouring local favorites, but now it’s truly a family affair, with Jessica’s brother-in-law reviving classic brews from a decade ago and her son and mom pitching in. The menu and popular bocce league nights aren’t going anywhere, and the haunted tours are set to return this fall. Erie folks, what do you think about this new era for a local institution? #Food #EriePA #Brewerie
