Imagine you're someone thinking of moving here, so you come scope out the place. Are you going to limit yourself to the neighborhoods listed in the marketing brochure? No, you're going to drive around the area and check out the various neighborhoods regardless of the arbitrary boundaries in the marketing material. And if you get a realtor to help you, it's not likely the realtor is going to hide any neighborhoods from you either. It's kind of a non-issue, in my opinion.

These neighborhoods did not wish to be forced into an area, that had to do with much that was going on at the time. Whether they chose to join, or not join, wish to be mentioned or not be mentioned is their decision to make and should be left out of the constant politics that Peoria seems to foster in everything. If they did not want to be a part then and do now, so what. If they want aspects mentioned, but don't wish to participate, it's their right to do so. Renaissance Park is not about someone's personal achievement, I thought it was meant to better the entire city. If it's about someone getting or not getting credit then they are not in it for the community's benefit. Stow the ego's folks and just get the job done. Neighborhoods have a right to some autonomy.

Why would they pretend these neighborhoods don't exist in their marketing materials? Wouldn't you want to play up every positive thing about the area? Does the Peoria convention & visitors bureau, when trying to book a big event, not mention Weaver Ridge or the Shoppes because they didn't pay their monthly dues or there's a personal issue between those in charge? Of course not. They would use every positive thing about Peoria and the surrounding area to attract business. Same thing here on a smaller scale. Set aside your politics and use every available resource to promote the success of Renaissance Park.
