Look into the Past takes old photos from Gannon’s archives and revisits their present-day locations. Feel free to visit the original post for more information. Club LaRiccia, formerly known as the commuter eating area, is in the basement of Beyer Hall Cafeteria. Where commuters used to go to eat meals, everyone is now welcome to […]
A less than ideal location up by the Millcreek Mall serves as the home to a surprisingly good little gourmet sandwich shop known as Picasso’s. It’s easy to miss on your way through the Starbucks drive-thru, especially since this particular storefront has housed multiple vendors in the past. But one visit to this shop should have […]
Smartphones are handy for looking up important info and finding your way around via GPS. Let’s be honest, though, the apps that get the most use by college students are probably Twitter and Instagram. I know I’m guilty. Here are a few that can help (rather than hinder) your studies: 1. StudyBlue puts a digital […]
I am without a doubt a burger junkie. You name a joint in Erie, and I’ve had a burger there. A turkey burger with a handful of pickles and tomatoes from Sara’s should be renamed the Jake Slease special because I’ve ordered so many. The phone number to the nearest Five Guys is programmed in […]
The word: un-slumping There’s undeniable truth to the concept of the “sophomore slump.” Take Hootie & the Blowfish, for example. (You know, the group who sang, “Well there’s nothing I can do, I only wanna be with you.”) Their debut album, “Cracked Rear View,” was released in 1994 and sold more than 16 million copies. Hootie’s […]
We’re slowly creeping up on that time of year again: Valentine’s Day. Instead of frantically scrambling to find the perfect gift for that special someone, why don’t you get them something they will really appreciate? Baked goods! Luckily, Erie is home to many delicious bakeries, one of them being the Magic Cookie Company. Here are […]
Aug. 25, 2012 was a sad night for Indian cuisine. Erie’s Raj Mahal caught fire and was burned beyond repair. Luckily for local cultural “foodies,” the owner was not deterred from this tragedy. From the ashes of the Raj Mahal, Raj Mahal II was created. Raj Mahal II is located on Peach Street, near the […]
Although this “great lake” town is known for its summers, its winter months are not given enough hype. Just as any community-based city would, Erie gets ready for the holiday season two months early. These seven basic attributions color the city during the holidays: 1. Lights. Beyond the decorations lining the streets of downtown Erie, […]
On the quiet little corner of Fourth and Sassafras streets is Gannon’s latest enterprise: The Knight Club. Contrary to what out-of-towners may think, the Knight Club does not have bouncers or obnoxious techno music resonating from the inside out. It’s actually a new on-campus hangout located in the space previously occupied by One Green World […]
If you build it they will come – “it” being a college and “they” being restaurants. Gannon is no exception, with the area around the campus home to many favorite student eateries. One restaurant, Viva Wraps & Pitas, is something of a hidden gem. Located just past McDonald’s on State Street between Fourth and Fifth […]
