Presque Isle State Park

Presque Isle State Park is a 3,112-acre state park on an arching sandy peninsula that juts into Lake Erie, 4 miles. The peninsula sweeps northeastward, surrounding Presque Isle Bay along the park's southern coast. It has 13 miles  of roads, 21 miles of recreational trails, 13 beaches for swimming, and a marina. Popular activities at the park include swimming, boating, hiking, biking, and bird watching.

A National Natural Landmark since 1967, the park has been named one of the best places in the US to watch birds, and protects them in its Gull Point State Park Natural Area. The new Tom Ridge Environmental Center at the entrance to the park allows visitors to learn more about the park and its ecology. Presque Isle State Park has been chosen by the Pennsylvania Bureau of Parks for its list of "Twenty Must-See Pennsylvania State Parks".

 In 1921 it became a state park, and as of 2007 it hosts over 4 million visitors per year, the most of any Pennsylvania state park.

The Millcreek Mall

The Millcreek Mall is a one-level shopping center located 3.4 miles southwest of downtown Erie, Pennsylvania, between Peach Street and Interstate 79, in Millcreek Twp. The center is often cited as being the third-largest shopping mall in the United States.

The complex opened in 1975 and was developed by the Youngstown, Ohio-based Cafaro Company, who still own and operate it. Due to Pennsylvania's lack of sales tax on clothing, the Millcreek Mall attracts many visitors from Ohio, New York and Canada. Presently, the mall proper houses 121 store spaces, with 12 kiosks. The 175 store and restaurants figure often cited includes stores within the physical mall and its many peripheral restaurants, stores and strip plazas.

The Millcreek Mall Pavilion consists of stores including Borders, Old Navy, Michaels Arts & Crafts, Gander Mountain, DSW Shoe Warehouse, Dick's Sporting Goods, Starbucks and Cold Stone Creamery.

The mall property is also home to several restaurants including Max & Erma's, Smokey Bones Barbeque and Grill, Outback Steakhouse, The Fox and Hound Pub, Red Lobster, Ponderosa Steakhouse, Arby's and Aoyama Japanese Steakhouse, which is located in a former Chi-Chi's.

The combination of anchors has given it the shape of a gun pointed at downtown Erie when viewed from above. This has resulted in an urban legend which states that the mall was intentionally built that way under the direction of the mafia.
