Why does that last map place Peoria outside of Peoria county? Like East Peoria, which is in fact not in Peoria county

It's really shocking to hear Rauner talking about how terrible his state is. Does he not think that reflects poorly on his governership? The people living in Illinois hate Illinois so much that making GBS threads on it is likely to win votes. You know, the Trump method.

Peoria is quiet and boring. Rent is cheap. The food is great and generally cheap. Everyone who lives there hates everyone else but all share a mutual and unified hatred of Chicago, as is the purview of all down-staters.

Peoria was at one point poised to become what Chicago ended up being. I'm not sure the specifics of why the state's economic capitol shifted the way it did since Peoria is geographically in a spot that's more convenient to the entire state and is on a fairly major river. It's also historically been the benchmark of the "average" American city. Supposedly the demographics most closely resemble those of the nation at large. It's been on a slow and steady decline for a very long time and now that Caterpillar has decided to twist the knife it's probably going to get much worse much more quickly. But hey, at least we got a really ugly museum out of it.

I don't live there anymore but my friends and family do, and I'm afraid that the wide array of foreign food will disappear with Cat. The Indian food in Peoria is great. It's also home to the only Pakistani restaurant I've ever been to.

I worked overnights downtown for a while a few years ago and was at work when there was a big explosion at the ADM plant. I was deep in the building where I worked behind a lot of brick, but I felt the shockwave from it when the room suddenly decompressed for a second as though someone had slammed a heavy door. I didn't think anything of it til the security guard mentioned it a while later. So, yes. Edit: http://www.pjstar.com/article/20130109/NEWS/301099855
