I've been to Peoria a few times. We used to go watch the minor league baseball team, the Peoria Chiefs when they were a single A team of the Chicago Cubs with Ryne Sandberg as manager. Now I believe they are back with the St. Louis Cardinals, so I have no interest in them.
Being a career firefighter I really liked their logo at the time. A Dalmatian wearing a fire helmet. I still have a hat and t-shirt.
Is there still an Irish pub named Kellers ( Incorrect spelling I know). I think it was by the river. They made a delicious milkshake using Guinness beer.
Enough rambling WELCOME TO AAPK.
Yep, Kellehers is still open.

Go Cardinals!!! :P

I spent 6 months (late Aug '80 to early Feb '81) in Rantoul, back when Chanute AFB was still active as a training base.
I remember the winter. FLAT!! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO STOP THE WIND! Needless to say it was a chilly march to class every day.

Glad you're here. ::handshake::
:lol: :lol: We lived just south of Champaign '59-'61. Flat? You got that right brother.
