If you didn't see Sunday's Erie Times-News story on brain drain, you can check it out here.

It should be noted that the sources in the story were found entirely through this blog. Each of the transplants who was interviewed for the piece posted comments in this space in recent weeks during our discussion on brain drain.

I thank all of you for taking part -- and for sharing your stories with the Erie community. It's important that local leaders hear these stories and that they understand the factors that are leading to Erie's brain drain.
