Erie Residents Encouraged to Enjoy Looking Through Windows While They Still Can

A recent trend of breaking local laws has one business in danger of finding alternatives to windows. According to sources, 1020 Collective in downtown Erie is trying to decide if it is worth paying staff to pick up glass off the floor, or simply replace their windows with bricks that can collapse on people when they try to vandalize the property.

The dilemma came about after a window unexpectedly separated itself from the building. According to sources, it did receive some assistance from a solid foreign object that was thrown through it. Nonetheless, the window decided to give way. This means you may have to purchase tickets next time they have a for-profit event, assuming the windows will be replaced by plywood.

This is not the first time such a matter came to be for the collection of 1020 something. According to the staff, another window divided itself into thousands of pieces after realizing a solid object was trying to pass through it.

"I served in that window frame for decades," says a shard of glass from the original window. "You spend your life trying to make something of yourself, and someone comes along to break your spirit."

The shard has since changed careers as a random irritant randomly resting on the beach. He is still waiting for his first customer.

It is unlikely that 1020 Collective will allow their establishment to exist without objects in the open spaces of their building. Though crime rates are notably a concern, the owners also fear it being difficult to display art in their venue given the gusts of wind that could rip through in the winter. It only makes sense that their building be reinforced with something to enclose those spaces that were left when the building was first erected. The question still remains; should they keep using glass?
