"There is a lot more than meets the eye her...CASE 1:CASE 2...we do not need or want this Greenway built at the entrance of Presque Isle. Penninsula Drive is already VERY crowded and busy, and we do not need another draw. Not to mention they would be tearing down the only drive-in in the area, and it still gets a lot of business!"
Wow, that was a mouthful! I am from Erie and was there last month when I went with my family to CP. I went to Waldameer, but unfortunately, it was closed (Monday), so instead I drove around the peninsula (I always enjoy that little drive) and checked out the beach. It looked great. I stopped on my way out for some fast food (fried zucchini sticks) at that stand with the old chevy (I think?) sitting outside.
I agree about the Greenway. Please. I'd rather keep the drive-in. Otherwise, next time I'm in Erie I will have to drive to Sunset (Edinboro?) next time I want to go to one. Let's face it, Erie historically has made a lot of stupid urban planning decisions. The library is a good example.
But I would still like to see that coaster built if Rip Van Winkle isn't still living in that shack.
