Downtown Peoria- Riverfront

It is 0430- Time to get redy to go to the Riverplex. As I think about going down to the Riverplex, I would like to relate a chain of events that happened recently.

Since I am not a prime time visitor to the Riverfront. I had the pleasure of being in the area the other day. It is time to start getting Bird Feed. (Which should be called Bird Seed- Since when you use it the birds seem to grow on your property- but that is anothe rblog entry-later).

So after getting our feed we headed down to Old Chicago for a quick lunch. Old Chicago was closed for Lunch...What is with this!!! We did get a good view of the Sears Block as well. The art on the walls is really starting to look tacky.

As a frequent visitor to VA Beach, They have Mt. Trashmore. Which is a landfill that is now a park. It is very unusual and highly used. Could this space be used for making a Mountain of Silt from the River and turned into a Park for the City? Or a museum to Strip Mining? there needs to be something done with this area.

The Riverfront seems to have lost its vigor. There are some great projects along the Riverfront. There are a few that are are an eyesore. It would be great if the City could get it together again and make some more headway in this area.
