This sewing center is TERRIBLE. I called and spoke to the owner Kelly on the phone. I made…read morearrangements to bring some work out to her and have alterations done along with some patches sewn on to leather and jean jackets. We also planned a day for me to come out and drop off all the garments. So about 1 week later I took everything out to Kellys Sewing Center to drop off. I live in Harbor Creek and its a 45 minute drive one way to her shop from where I live. When I got there the shop was locked and closed with no lights on even though her website on GOOGLE busness and Yelp business stated OPEN NOW. I checked all this before leaving my house to make sure I dont waste my time effort and money. I called the phone number 4 times from the parking lot but when the automated phone answered my phone, I got a recording asking me for an access code. I could not even leave a message. So I had to drive back home. It was 1.5 hours of my time and gas in my car wasted because of this situation and I WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT. So the next day I called and some guy answered and I told him the situation and was still going to do business with them depending on how they handled this. Well the man I spoke to said to me "That's Life Buddy". He offered no explanation or apology and told me Kelly was taking a few days off out of the 4 days per week she is open. When I told him calmly that I was going to leave bad reviews on how they do business , he was rude and hung up on me. I can see they have an attitude and they will never get my business. There is no excuse for that kind of disrespect and attitude towards people that spend money at their business. It tells us all in the Erie, PA area quite a bit about their work and their business and how they treat their customers. I suggest everyone take your alterations and sewing work somewhere other than Kelly's Sewing Center where the customer is treated with respect and without this prima donna attitude. I wont ever go there again.

Whenever I'm in town I make a point of stopping at the Kada Gallery. Growing up in Erie I never…read morerealized that there were art galleries. Those were fantastical places that only existed in larger cities like New York or L.A., and we're manned by pretentious hipsters in unrelieved black. This place is nothing like that. Although in a fairly high end local commercial area, the place almost has the feeling of walking into a home. While the main room is what you might expect to see when thinking of an "art gallery" the rest of the place is an eclectic plethora. The oxymoron "ordered chaos" comes to mind. Many of the walls are hung salon style, and nearly every surface is covered in some type of art. They have a wide array of pieces. Most of it seems to be in the traditional style but there are some modern and a few funky surrealist pieces. One of my favorite artists featured there is a woman by the name of Mindy Duncan. If visiting you must check out her work or Brad Lethaby's figurative pieces. The place is quite a bit larger inside than it appears from the street, going much deeper into the building. Aside from the art museum I believe it is the largest place to view original artwork in the city of Erie. Although sizable, it has such a personal feel to it. When you walk in you are almost always greeted by the owner, who is more than happy to help you select framing or tell you about every artist and painting within the place, should you choose to ask. Most of the framing work is done by her husband in the gallery's lower level. All and all it truly is a wonderful place that is worth a look if you have a passion for art. It's in a merchant center where every one of the businesses are locally owned, and as such many of the shops around it are unique as well. My only criticism is that it can get a little warm in there during certain months of the year, but it's still a great place to unwind and spend a lazy summer afternoon.

The service is usually nothing special tbh, not great nor terrible really, just sort of neutral ‍ They have a pretty decent MTG card selection and fair market pricing on singles, but their trade-in % is sorta pathetic in my opinion, and you likely get more money or store credits if you take your trade-ins to Gateway Games instead! ALSO Recently, my fiancé and I drove across town in a blizzard (took about 30 minutes or so, a good amount of the gas in our vehicle, and a lot of anxiety from the slick road conditions and snow showers) to trade-in some MTG cards for CASH because their website states something along the lines of, "We're ALWAYS purchasing trading cards for CASH or STORE CREDIT!" But we were told upon arriving that they did not actually pay out cash for cards any longer, meaning we wasted the entire trip out there as we needed actual cash money to get groceries and such...So hopefully they update their website soon!
