As usual, my e-mail box has been filled with comments about the latest e-mail edition of Inside Erie.

Most offer an interesting perspective on the new downtown plan -- and whether it will help fuel a local economic renaissance.

You can check the comments page to see what people are saying.

And there's still some really cool threads unfolding based on previous newsletters.

You can see the recent thread on the downtown convention center by clicking here.

You can also join in the spirited debate on Erie's brain drain by going here.

Happy clicking -- and feel free to add your own perspective to the debate by posting your own comment.
