January 11, 200422 yr im planning to visit there in a a couple of months to visit a friend, i would like to know your thoughts on it, has well has how far it is from USCF. along with anything worth seeing/doing there.
January 11, 200422 yr Pekin is a town just outside of Peoria...It's pretty much your typical central Illinois hick town, and it's three hours away from Chicago. There is absolutely NOTHING around that area (or in central Illinois, for the record). You KNOW you're in nothingness when the lead story of the newscasts is about a farmer who's tractor broke down! All Illinois has to offer is in Chicagoland.
January 11, 200422 yr All Illinois has to offer is in Chicagoland. This is the wisest thing I've ever seen you post!
January 11, 200422 yr Pekin HS, IHSA Basketball champs in 1964 and 1967. I guess folks there go to Peoria for a "hot time in the old town."

January 12, 200422 yr That's not necessarily true. There's a riverboat casino in East Peoria and world famous Big Al's strip club in downtown Peoria. Other than that, there ain't much.
