Probably not as hard as I laughed when the people of Cinnci thought they were going to beat the Steelers in the playoffs in 05'!

Back to the topic... I think Erie is good for someone in their 20's... Little bit of everything to do there... Decent bar scene downtown... I love it up there in the Summer... Winters can be long but if you find a good winter activity to do then you wont mind.. The only thing I dont like is the shopping is not great... they have a decent mall but in my opinion no good stores for guys... Like know banana republic or H&M.... Erie is a good location though, close to Buffalo, Cleveland and Toronto... I like it...

Who called Pittsburgh a "big city"? Pittsburgh is a 'major metro area' though. And Erie is a small town.

any city that has a population over 100,000 in its city proper is hardly a small town... got to be kidding me...

Not to belittle Erie, but its city limits are very large by Pennsylvania standards and although it was at one point the third biggest city by population in the state, the metropolitan area ranks behind many "smaller" cities such as Scranton, Harrisburg and Lancaster.

And the 'city' population of Pittsburgh is down to about 300,000 now. So what? Pittsburgh feels WAY bigger. The reason being, it use to be alot bigger (almost 700,000 at one point). And that's the only reason why Pittsburgh has all the stuff that is has now. I don't think they'd even have 1 pro sports team if that's all the bigger it ever was (talking about Pitts pop now compared to years ago). Not to mention, that the metro area of Pitts population is way bigger too.

Erie looks and feels like a 'small town', period.

If you needed a major operation, would you want it done in Erie? If you were a lawyer, would you really want to practice law there? (yes I know, Erie has lawyers) I could go on-and-on all day with this type of stuff.

Pittsburgh is a 'small city'. Where Erie could be called a 'big town'. I consider 'towns' and 'cities' to be two completly different things.

Metro rankings are ridiculous sometimes... like part of WV now counts as DC Metro... Wheeling WV is part of Pitt Metro.... I feel like pitt metro should only count to Cranberry in the north, Greensburg in the east, washington in the south and Robinson in the west... Not places like Beaver Falls and Uniontown... If that is the case.. then Erie gets ripped off cause it counts one county... You can make an argument to count part of NY and OH since several people live there and commute to Erie as well and are closer to the actual Erie city proper than southern Erie county... I believe Buffalo and Cleveland count them as their metros though...
