Downtown ~ Peoria, Illinois

One view of downtown
One bridge
One squirrel
One Geese
Riverfront Station
Riverfront Shops
A Bar Sign
Train Depot
Art and Life
Work - Jobs for the People
Apartment and Graffiti
Old Glory - War and Remembrance



downtown Peoria, Illinois yesterday
old buildings with the new

construction means jobs for the people
working means food on the table

construction downtown on the riverfront
progress is dusty

old buildings, old trees
if they could speak
i would take notes

people and buildings
everywhere we go

all this life going on everywhere
at the same time

history is about life
looking back to time
before we walked
this earth

i’ve never known
why the past
enchants me


Illinois River

Wishing each of you a good day!  Happy happy.

The past enchants me too and that is good Peoria is having a rebirth, and employing construction workers.
