15 - Railroad Tracks along Kickapoo Creek and Road

February 27th, 2006

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.

13 - The Arbors, Arbor District

February 23rd, 2006

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.

12 - McClure Street Dead End

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.

10 - St. Mary’s Cathedral

February 20th, 2006

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