Heres a thread about how a WWII ship will NOT be coming to Peoria. Where did this discussion go wrong? TJ Schatsiek 21 hrs If you didnt read the article in the Peoria Journal Star on Wednesday, i will give everyone the sad news. Peoria let another opportunity for tourism go by the wayside. The LST 325 is staying in Evansville and may not even visit Peoria this year on tour. Its sad really. Stupid City Council! LikeLike · · Share 5 people like this. Chuck Fuller Why cant Peoria, Illinois, come up with a new Idea. Some of Peoria, just might like something new. Not just a piece of War History, Something new !!!! 20 hours ago · Like Jason Timerman Like what Chuck Fuller? A true piece of WWII history isnt something that is wort while. Lets see new ideas maybe revamping the dowtown and the riverfront. How a minor league baseball team or even a Civic Center? Maybe have a bunch of festivals on the river front. A new mall perhaps , several movie theaters, maybe a museum. What else would you like the council to do/approve? 9 hrs · Like Thom Parker I am glad the LST 325 will not be coming to Peoria. Its huge and would have dominated the riverfront. Too much work has been done to make the area attractive and friendly. The LST would have been a step backwards. 7 hrs · Like · 1 Chuck Fuller I like War History, for War History Ill go to Washington D C, bring something to Peoria That will be fun to do More than just once. While at home in Peoria give me something to do repeatedly !!! 1 hr · Edited · Like · 1 Jerry Martin Chuck, is Becker still around? He is the one who totally screwed up downtown by getting rid of its past. He always had an idea to change Peoria. I know of many cities that try to incorporate the old into the new. Some cities actually care about their past. Becker just wanted to tear it down and throw it away. 1 hr · Like Chuck Fuller Not sure about Becker, you are talking about Becker Brothers Const. Your are talking about the past. 1 hr · Like Thom Parker Ill never forget in the mid-80s, Mayor Maloof sponsored Be Proud Of Peoria Day. A local TV station asked Ray Becker what made him proud of Peoria. His response: I own half of it! 1 hr · Like Jason Timerman I would prefer to not have to travel half way across the country to see war history...I understand your point about one time fun, however it is just one more attraction for Peoria 1 hr · Like Thom Parker It would be FAR out of scale for our riverfront, and would obliterate the view from whichever point it was placed. 1 hr · Like Jason Timerman Adjust for the new attraction .place it beneath the bridge 1 hr · Like Jason Timerman It is the brown muddy illinois not some tropical water 59 mins · Like Thom Parker Please, there is NO reason to have it here, nor is there an appropriate place for it. Evansville made the correct choice for us. 58 mins · Like Jason Timerman Please there is no reason not to have it there other than it will obliterate the view 55 mins · Like Thom Parker We agree to disagree. Thats American through and through. 53 mins · Like Jason Timerman Evansville figured out it was a worthwhile attraction and did what they had to do to keep it 53 mins · Like Thom Parker And Peoria offered a fraction of the cost to move it. Good choice, Evansville. 50 mins · Like Jason Timerman Wow a whole 1/3 of the cost be still my beating heart....Evansville signed a 5 year deal w another 5 yr option (sound like a sports contract) seems to be a prety hefty investment to me 46 mins · Like Thom Parker You bore me. The issue is decided. Go away. 45 mins · Like Jason Timerman I bore you? dont be an arrogant jerk . Clearly you do not possess the mental capacity and maturitt level you have an intellectual debate. You base all of you argument on emotion with little facts and no vision for the future 41 mins · Like Jason Timerman You get soundly defeated on every point and then turn to character assassination. The last resort of the loser in a debate 39 mins · Like Thom Parker WAIT ONE FING MINUTE!!! How did I attack your character? I did nothing of the sort!

I am owed an apology, sir! 36 mins · Like Jason Timerman You bore me implication I am not good enough for you I am but a peasant go away as if you are royalty that can dismiss me when you feel like it if anyone is owed an apology it is I. 33 mins · Like Thom Parker The issue has been decided and finalized by those above BOTH of us. This discussion is pointless beyond belief. 32 mins · Like Jason Timerman My how quickly your tone has changed from the pseudooffended....if it is pointless why then did you engage In a pointless activity 30 mins · Like Thom Parker People reading this discussion will easily see who has the more level head. 27 mins · Like Jason Timerman Thank you for that compliment 26 mins · Like Chuck Fuller Is it A draw? 26 mins · Like Thom Parker Hardly.
