U Frame It owners Phyl Mashyna (left) and Matt Lebowitz have stayed plenty busy throughout the pandemic, with hemmed-in Erieites feeling the itch to freshen up and redecorate home and office spaces grown stale.
For some small business owners, there s no place like home coming home, that is.
Phyl Mashyna moved back to Erie from San Francisco with her husband, Matt Lebowitz, in October 1988. Phyl s father, Michael, had died from cancer that May, and her mom, Ginger Mashyna, needed help running U Frame It, the business Michael had opened in 1975 at West Eighth and Liberty streets.
