Flashback - club days gone by

There's a really great story about the Presque Isle Inn -- the infamous P.I. nightclub on the shores of Lake Erie -- in the Erie Times-News today. If you missed the story, you can read it here.

Most importantly, you simply must watch the video -- if for no other reason than to laugh hysterically at the fashion and hairstyles.

I am too young to have ever experienced the P.I., but I used to hear great stories about it from the various people I babysat for (who were all out partying at the P.I.).

I was disappointed to read that the owners demolished the place to build condos. Part of me was happy to read it didn't turn out to be a successful venture for them.

I find it tremendously sad that the first view people now get of our peninsula is, in fact, of condos. I hate those condos. I still cannot believe they were ever given permission to build them there. I seethe every time we stop at Sara's and sit outside, licking our ice cream cones and admiring the view of stockade fencing and condos instead of Lake Erie.

All of nature -- and most of Erie -- will rejoice the day they finally bulldoze those suckers down.

I would like to send this page to friends that "I'm sure" would like to see the video of the old P.I. Inn...How can I get this to my E-mail then send it off to my buddies.....Greg

Daddy:

I never partied at the PI club however, I remember the selling of the bricks. I believe Erie PA would be better off with the PI Club rather than those crappy "Condo's". Those "Condo's" don't do anything for the economy of Erie. It is my belief we should tear those "Condos" down and build a club or two and "Huts". Someplace people can rent for the weekend to hang out and enjoy the sunshine.

What would be better than a nice high class nightclub and a "Hut" over looking the Lake with a Spa across the street next door to Sara's to relax and just enjoy life?
