So many people sent me the listing when the house at 3102 Glenwood Park Avenue was for sale, and lucky for everyone and everything, the person who ended up buying this home is dedicated to honoring its history and is working to restore and preserve it 🙌
We are big fans of @sophieblackall in this old house, and her book "Hello Lighthouse" is in heavy rotation (we have a signed copy and it is one of our most prized picture books; you may have seen it for sale at one or both of Erie's historic lighthouses). Her latest book, which we just borrowed from the library, is beyond touching and I had to share it with all you like-minded folks here.
My daughter's school participated in the International Coastal Cleanup event today at Presque Isle and one of her teachers found this brick (that he definitely didn't put into the trash bags). Queen's Run is in Woodward township near Lock Haven, PA. The good old world wide web gave me some information:
Within the next month or two, please make a point of driving out to North East with your windows rolled down. The scent of Concord grapes fills the air and it is just magical 🍇🍇🍇
My latest feature in the @eriereader is now available to read online. It's all about Judie Pentz, her remnant fabric store on 11th and German, her neighborhood community, and the public art mission of @erieartsculture that has succeeded in transforming her building and is well on their way to transforming Erie.
You guys know about Judie at the Remnant Store on 11th and German? She's 80 years old and has been in business for 60 years, in a building that was built in 1877 and has only had THREE owners in all that time.
