As Erie is
filled with
great places for
dining,
it is so
hard to choose
what place to go
to next. With
the summer days
being so
pleasant, most
of the time I
just let my feet
do the
walking and stop
in to whatever
place they may
lead me...Read

Funny Bone
Joke Of The Week
How Many
States Can You Name?
Father William, the old priest, made it
a practice to visit the parish school
one day a week. He walked into the 4th
grade class, where the children were
studying the states, and asked them how
many states they could name. They came
up with about 40 names. Father William
jokingly told them that in his day
students knew the names of all the
states.
One lad raised his hand and said, 'Yes
sir, but in those days there were only
13 states.

fatigue of supporting it. ~ Thomas Paine
Did You Know...
...that America's second
president John Adams was the
first to light the fireworks
spark for Independence Day when
he said the holiday ought to be
celebrated by pomp and parade --
and illuminations from one end
of this continent to the other"?
Nothing says 4th of July like
fireworks, so be sure to catch
an awesome pyrotechnic display.
