Name This Peoria Landmark

What can I say except read the comments. Quite amazing.

Another excellent photo by Sctobrien.

St. Bernard’s on Kansas St, which closed on it’s 100 year anniversary in 2004. It is reported that only 72 students attended it’s final year.

The old Burger King on Sterling gets my vote in the category of “best landscaped casualty of Upgrade-74″

Thank You, John.

Forgive me, I just had to put up this cool picture from the AirShow.

A view of the VIP parking lot from Gate 1 at the Prairie Air Show, approximately 7:30 Saturday Morning. Doesn’t look too promising.

 

 

National Distillers.

David P Jordan: “That’s the smoke stack for the old National Distillers Product Company in the Darst and Krause St. area. I remember that most of those buildings were torn down by the owner, N. E. Finch Companies, in 1997. the distillery made Kentucky bourbon until 1952 and continued to warehouse and ship product until 1956. i think other firms operated in there in later years, though.”

 

My dead and dying back yard. Those two little blue things are small plastic dinosaurs. A playset complete with sandbox is nearby.
