Odd. Lots of places hiring. Why would he need to rob someone?

Peoria. A great place to live.

Peoria does not make the list of top 100 most dangerous cities in America. This is a great list to NOT be on. Non Peorians and Peorians alike love to criticize how bad Peoria is. But the listing that I checked prove my point that the United States in general has a problem with crime. It doesn't just happen in Peoria. Check Real Estate prices throughout the country, you will get great value for homes in Peoria as you will see anywhere in the United States. If you like a mid sized city, Peoria has a lot to offer. Dining, Entertainment, Golf, Nightlife, Music, Sports, Fishing, Camping, Parks, Arts, Employment, Shopping, Navigation, and much more.
Peoria is a great place to live!
