Kind of like how they called this track 'Presque Isle Downs' when Presque Isle is 10 mintues away.
I guess it sounds better than Landfill Downs - Or Trailer Park Downs.
Presque Isle is supposed to be easily the most beautiful place in all of Pennsylvania (yeah, I know, that's like being the prettiest girl at the fat camp)
I'm within walking distance of the Erie Zoo. Presque Isle Downs is about four miles past the Zoo. Once you get past the Zoo and leave Erie for Summit Township ... it's like going to Alabama. There was nothing out there but three huge churches and a rundown bar - till you get to the PID site. About 100 yards past PID you have a bunch of trailer courts - and there's a huge landfill about a mile or two from the track.
I don't think you could possibly find any real estate worse than that. There was actually a scandel on that land deal. Kickbacks and shady stuff.
