Aren't they happy to have had to spend so much city money upgrading the roads around there.

Who wouldn't?You get to walk down the sidewalk on a bright spring day, take your pick from the variety of smellsthat waft across the wide street and settle down on a ledge to avoid spilling crud on your tie.It's a fantastic thing and it's nice to have them there during the lunch hour.But -- you peoriabloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07437451820535567494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028886.post-933302562003-04-27T00:32:00.000-05:002003-04-27T00:32:47.243-05:00Another consultant for the Sear's Block Museum?
Isn't this getting ridiculous? Yet another outside outfit is going to weigh in on the Sear's block.
While we can't say we think it's necessary to pay out more money for another study, let's hope
they agree that the museum should include some shops and restaurants...

Congratulations to the City Council for its approval of an historic district along Knoxville.
A recent drive along that stretch makes it utterly clear that this was the right thing to do.
Littering the Glen Ave. side of this row of stately lawns would have created an eyesore to haunt

Kudos to the Historic Preservation Board this week for their recommendation to the City Council that the row of houses along Knoxville Ave near Glen be considered as historic properties.
Many of those homes are equally as magnificent as the mansions along Moss and High but are so far from the road they are easy to miss. They are definitely worth peoriabloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07437451820535567494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028886.post-860959342002-12-16T00:22:00.000-06:002002-12-23T21:01:44.000-06:00LUMS R.I.P.
And the best we can do to fill that space is a Denny's? Ugh. Peoria can do better.
