In an observation that would make CJ Summers cringe, Mahkno suggests this could be the Future Kickapoo Creek Bike Trail.

It is, infact, the railroad tracks that travel alongside Kickapoo Creek Road. This photo was taken on Creek Road at the Airport Road turnoff, looking west (towards Farmington Rd.)

It would make for a very scenic bike trail, now wouldn't it?

Buckethead knows about as much as I do regarding this. It's the big ol' tree stump that sits on display at Detweiller Park. If anyone knows more about this, please enlighten us.

The remaining arbor of the arbor district, Rebecca Place and Main Street. The other was destroyed years ago. I remember Marcella Teplitz standing in front of this for a photo opp during her failed attempt at re-election, promising to restore it and to rebuild the other. Maybe after the city restores this one, Bradley can use it as the entrance to their new sports facility...

I hope I didn't jinx it by making it post #13.

Thank you to Angie for identifying her favorite doggie playground. This is where North deadends into McClure. Go straight and you're in the McClure Library Branch's parking lot. The library is to the right.

The historic Glen Oak Pavillion Building, built in 1895, currently houses the Park District administrative offices, and is the future home of the Peoria Children's Museum.

Thank You, Mazr.

I didn't think this one would be too easy - it's the front door of St. Mary's Cathedral. Thank you Mapgirl.

Brent see's the old yummy grease pit called Pepe Taco in that painted over red sign. Angie gets an honorable mention for Taco Tuesday!

Just for fun, here's how the building looks without the signs...

Mahno's two for two. Harrison Homes, built in 1942. Looks more like a prison to me... or a concentration camp.

Not sure what this building's called or if it has a 'name'; it's always been a dry-cleaner to me, so I'll use Mahno's description: Knox and Main... old Anheiser Busch building.. currently has a police uniform store and a dry cleaner in it.
