This barge is cool, I think it was designed by Louis Kahn.
Erie is becoming a true success story in the Great lakes region. It is cleanning up its harbor, and developing it in a smart, non-polluting way. Hopefully it will be delisted as an EPA Area of Concern AOC within the next few years. Other cities, like Detroit, Sarian, Midland-Saginaw, Cleveland, and Gary have a long way to go. I really think the regions manufacturing might and location near this great resource will boom in the future, as water-starved sunbelt cities begin to level out.
