Back up your files, a shameless plug, and some Peoria history.
An age old computer lesson that I somehow forgot while working for nearly an hour updating Name This Peoria Landmark (yep, still plugging away.) To say I was a bit PO’d would be an understatement, and normally I would have thrown my hands up in the air and moved on to something else, but I happened to be working on one of the more interesting spots in Peoria that I have visited in quite a while so I felt I had to do it justice… the hidden and historic Peoria Mineral Springs.
I took a friend there who isn’t necessarily into history, but did find it nearly as cool as I do. He commented “In a town of over 100,000 I’ll bet only 5,000 people have even heard about this place.”
Fittingly, blogger Scott O’Brien recently asked “And why to this day, does the City of Peoria and its residents still remain oblivious to its fascinating history”
I can’t answer that question, but I often wonder about that myself.

Scott answered his own question: Because Peorians would rather worry about who’s looking at boobs.

And if you look into Peoria’s history, boobs played quite a large role.
