We. Are. Peoria (Area)

And....not long after I posted this new thread, I get a downvote in my YouTube channel. Coincidence? Hmmmm, I think not. Someone here jealous because this is a hobby I enjoy? Perhaps. Or upset because I don't post as much here, and they can't criticize me anymore? Most likely.

Exploring different Peoria area roads is what this last 2024 Scenic Route journey does, The challenge here is for you to identify which roads these are. Some will be easy, others may not.

With summer now turning to fall, I decided to revisit some of those places, plus some new ones...including from the Peoria...

Somehow I get the impression that Mayor Ali was expected to stop a a baby from injesting those pills,
or expected to know about the El Vista domestic situation and should have stopped that homicide and shooting of the neighbor?

Ever drive by buildings in Peoria, wonder how old they are, when were they built, etc? This Scenic Route takes a look at several, including one of the oldest churches converted to a Brewery/Restaurant, and two places that are undergoing repairs and preservation. https://studio.youtube.com/video/zrWU...

Interesting info, many of those roads (probably ALL of those roads) were desperately in need of repair so it's good to see the work being done. Dennis (or anyone) do you know what the construction at IL-24 and Nofsinger Rd. in Washington is for and when it will be completed? Also, which of the exis...
