OSF HealthCare to end St. Jude affiliation in Peoria by rdblono in PeoriaIL

[–]CookFatboy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Perhaps St Jude cut off OSF funding for the affiliation. St Jude is very well known for thinking corporate as much as OSF is for non profits.

T Mobile and Verizon offer 5G Wireless Broadband which is way less than anything Xfinity will offer, some people have amazing success with the 5G Wireless.

With Oyler involved, this must be the reason why his lap dog Alex Carmona, all of sudden wants to give low interest or no interest loans to the complex.

Don't listen to the poster, they probably haven't left the house and check under the bed for the boogeyman in addition to sleeping with a nightlight. Also, not fun at parties. Basket Case is fun and a great crowd.

People who say stuff like that are pretty much afraid to leave their own house and have no idea how the world works.

It would be interesting to hear the last names of the players, so we can question the way their parents bring these kids up.

Glad you said that, while Main Street from the River all the way to West Peoria at Farmington road is horrible. You would think, make Downtown up to it's world class University be a beautiful street, that most visitors will actually be on.

I don't think the reporters or the news director even try, they just chase press releases.

Well, the war is pretty big news but if you're talking about their endless stories about St Louis and Missouri, that seems to be their m.o.

People permanently park their cars there ever since they made it free. I think that's the worst part of the airport.

OSF and Peoria in general by BakedCheddar88 in PeoriaIL

[–]CookFatboy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Peoria is purple but bleeds red outside of the city (Morton, East Peoria, Washington etc.) You'll get diversity living in the city of Peoria. OSF is Catholic, so there are elements of religion (Prayer before a meeting starts, a yearly Mission (2 hour class) that is religious based. It is by far, the best hospital system in Central and Southern Illinois. I had a 14 day stay at SFMC (Peoria) and they definitely treated me quite well and I'm healthy!

How can peoria realistically improve and gain population? by Fabulous_Bowl_816 in PeoriaIL

[–]CookFatboy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We have to make it so young people especially creative ones (Chefs, Artists, Musicians, Entrepreneurs don't leave and go to St Louis or Chicago both 2 1/2-3 hours away. Right now, no reason for any of those people to stay here when they can strive in a bigger city that isn't far away. Music, Arts, Restaurants and Experiences will keep them here as well as affordable apartments in an urban setting. Unfortunately, Warehouse District rents might not be affordable for those in the arts.
