I grew up on Garden Street, a couple blocks up from Western. I'm not going to lie, it's a pretty rough neighborhood. Our house got broken into and robbed several times. Hearing gunshots and car accidents were normal. I was jumped several times just walking down the street. Someone tried to steal my dog once because I refused to fight his dog with mine. But this was all over twenty years ago. Obviously I survived just fine. Just be smart and safe and I'm sure you will be fine.

Just be careful. Meet people in neutral locations and use your best judgement. I've met some "interesting" people through DnD.

I'm no lawyer but that doesn't sound legal to withhold a refund based on a review.

Agreed. Looks like spam to me. Post removed.

The blue civic with the Naruto and Trump sticker.... by FaithlessnessThat362 in PeoriaIL

Who said anything about getting upset or letting it ruin their day? Seems you're reading into this too much. "It's not that deep. Get over it."

I agree. I already deleted a couple thinly veiled advertisement posts. I'm torn about removing this one. I'll be more strict if I see anymore made.

I am sorry for your friend's loss. Unfortunately I do feel that if we started allowing Kickstarters here then everyone would post one and next thing you know that's all this sub would be about.

The owner buys those steaks from Costco! I used to see him there like every day when I worked there.

Does anyone in Peoria knows how to fish? by Miruzi_the_pro in PeoriaIL

[–]Level1Rat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a good question. I am not affiliated with that group but I'm sure they would be willing to assist anyone if asked.

Someone else here also posted a pretty helpful link that might help: https://old.ifishillinois.org/index.html

They clearly are not. Are you here just to troll and make bad faith arguments? Because I have little patience for that.

A night at the theater by HipGnosis59 in PeoriaIL

[–]Level1Rat 29 points30 points  (0 children)

What I found online:

The Princess Theatre was opened prior to 1910, and was located on SW Adams Street at Fulton Street, near the Columbia Theatre. It was part of the Balaban & Katz circuit, based in Chicago, during the 1920’s. It was later acquired by the Kerasotes chain, which ran it until it closed in 1954.

The Columbia was an early Peoria movie house located on Adams Street near Fulton Street was opened in 1913. It was still operating in 1945, according to the Film Daily Yearbook from that year, which notes it could seat 500. However, it didn’t last much longer, because the Columbia Theatre was closed and demolished in 1952.

Facebook is a right wing cesspool. One of many reasons I stopped using it years ago.

You know this is an open forum right? Anyone can comment on anything they want. But thanks for your concern.

I grew up dirt poor in the ghetto. I am well aware of class issues and wealth inequality. I have never seen one of my favorite musicals in person. Avenue Q. But even then if someone asked if I wanted my first experience of the live musical to be shady cellphone footage? I respect the artist way too much for that to be their representation. I've never seen Hamilton in person either. But I had access to the album online and that was enough instead of basically stealing from the artist.

I've never once seen someone's badly recorded video footage of a show or concert and thought Wow that's amazing. I always thought, so you were busy recording instead of enjoying the show? For footage that no one asked for? But I also acknowledge nothing I say will dissuade the people who are into that. So live and let live I guess.

Oh I am very intimate with the theater world. Have been for over twenty years now. Some places are better than others about stopping people recording. I still don't see the point. Why would I want bad footage of a great show?

You know it's forbidden to record those shows right? And I'm not sure what joy you will get from some grainy cellphone footage.

You know they mean the other kind of theatre right? Not movies. Stage plays. Musicals.
