    Yep.  Think 1/2 hour west of Peoria.  I've been in the QCs since I graduated college in 2005.  In fact, my 10 year class reunion is being held next month in Peoria.

    First I thought Canton, then I figured that is more than 30 minutes. Then I thought Farmington, because any town between Farmington and Peoria is less than 30 minutes. Then I thought the Glasford/Mapleton region, but that's more SW. Then I went back to Farmington. So that is my guess Stick out tongue

  • Heee.  You may be right...
