My first “Journal Star style” comment.
I’ve record and uploaded some videos to YouTube over time, of which I’ve published a few on my blog. I had a good chuckle when I read a recent comment to this video of me driving down Main Street:
What a dump…..I have spent more time there in the last year with work than I had ever imagined and I gotta tell ya…..I hate that town.Why would you post this? This just brings back memories that I am trying to? forget. And why did you let the PT Cruiser pass you on the right like that?Was he wanting to fight or was he trying to get on camera? Why the Supertramp? That guy in the Alero drives like an ass to.
On the flip side, I’ve had a couple of positive comments too…
I left Peoria in 1982. There have been a lot of changes. I used to drive my 69 Chevelle up and down Main street every Friday night from the Stake and Shake to the the IGA.
My family and I are from the Peoria area. I am on active duty in the U. S. Marine Corps. We have been gone off and on for the past 19+ years. I remember “cruisin Main” in high school. We love Peoria, and you have brought back some great memories! Semper Fi!
This video brought back memories. More please.
I also had this one:
im from peoria and i dont really like it that much and this is really making me hate it more
Notice how the two people that don’t like Peoria can’t spell and have horrible grammar? I don’t know what that means, exactly… just an observation.
On a related note, check out Jonathan Ahl’s post about how Springfield is jealous of Peoria. As CJ Summers noted “The grass is always greener on the other side”
