typical Erie – done half-assed. This should be destroyed before it gets out.

Who produces this junk anyway? Pop up video? That's like, 1997 or so! Embarrassing.

At first I thought they used the date of incorporation, but when I checked, the city was incorporated in 1851. I have no idea where the 1896 date came from. They need to use the 1795 date since Erie certainly existed prior to incorporation, and is shown on maps much prior ot that date.<br>I too noticed the lack of the Seawolves. That is regrettable.<br>Overall, I thought it was very well done and a great tool to get the word out about Erie.

The correct date was 1795. That mistake is sad. The very first factoid on the Visit Erie video states that Erie was founded in 1896. The correct date was 1795. That mistake is sad.
