Erie Physical Environment Harsh Climate Right next to Lake Erie Lots of precipitation Culture has been impacted by being prepared for heavy precipitation or disasters like floods Impacted city because buildings have to be weather resistant People also go swimming, fishing, and sailing in Lake Erie Some places are too deep to swim in People sell lots of fish
Tocqueville on Erie He said their was lots of rain He touched down at Erie at 9 a.m. The Erie canal was under construction He departed from Erie an hour after he came so it may not have been that interesting back then
Influencing People The E.P.A (Environmental Protection Agency) of Erie- They help Erie’s economy by saving the fish as well as helped to stop pollution of the lake Dewitt Clinton- He broke ground for the Erie Canal which opened up trade routes to inner America making Erie a vital port
Erie Today Large trading port Lots of fishing and water sports Lots of tourists with many hotels Many amusement parks causing lots of attractions
Proposal We think we need to have more exports. This could be Steeler merchandise, or anything Erie has many exports of fish because of its prime geographic location. Pittsburgh needs to make use of its rivers and do the same.
