Making Magic

The Erie Times-News ran a front page article on Friday about how a marker was being placed in Griswold Park in honor of Harry Kellar (1849-1922), a famous magician who was born near this downtown Erie park. As part of my WikiProject Erie duties, I routinely watch the local newspaper for stories that might affect Wikipedia's set of articles about the city. Luckily, I didn't have to write an article about Kellar, and it even mentioned that he was born in Erie, but I had to add him to the list of people from Erie article and I had to mention the dedication of the memorial in the list of city parks article.
