Erie PA News and Events for Monday October 10, 2005

The LifeStar helecopter that disappeared late Friday night was found on Sunday afternoon in rural Bradford County.

WJET-TV reported that the copter was found 5 miles southeast of the Bradford Regional Airport in a heavily wooded area.

I could start another blog with the sometimes funny, sometimes strange and sometimes unusual search terms that people have found this Erie blog through search engines. The best one on Sunday was “membership restaurants and bars like at erie turners.” The person might have found what they were looking for if they knew that the term for a ‘membership restaurant and bar’ was a club.
