New Location Coming Soon!

We have officially acquired not one — but TWO historic buildings on Parade Street! This is more than a property purchase — it’s the foundation of something transformational.

We can’t share all the details just yet, but trust us… what’s coming will shift the landscape of community, culture, and collaboration in Erie.

Let’s Build the Block Together.

Because what we’re building isn’t just for us — it’s for generations to come.

Want to be part of this movement? Help us continue building by hitting the donate button above.

Thank you Dana Dickerson for all your help on this deal with both properties!
