Peoria is my hometown. The intersection of Thrush & Sheridan in not in Pekin. It’s in the middle of Peoria.
Hiya Raebie..Can you give us anymore insight on this? What’s the local info?
That is what I recalled. And that is what my second google turned up.
However, the first time I tried a search using google maps,it kept showing a mall-filled area between Pekin and Peoria.
The Sheridan Road area looks pretty run-down. I surfed through my childhood neighborhood near Bradley University and it, too looks down-at-the-heels.
Mine too, I live in North Pekin now and I can assure you, this didn't happen in Pekin.
I'm only wondering now, how I managed to live here for almost 5 decades and have never until today heard of the "Peoria Chronicle".
