C-Span spent a week in Erie filming this series. Assisting the regular C-Span crew were many local Erie photographers, videographers, technicians and historians with help from Caleb Pifer, executive director of the Erie County Historical Society. Per Pifer, "The crews were very, very throughly details in their approach and took every effort to make sure they gave a fair and accurate protrayal of Erie."
Personally, I can hardly wait to view the C-Span series on Erie, my hometown. I was at Presque Isle State Park for walk and saw the C-Span crew at work.
