Growing up near Peoria and living in the West Bluff for many years makes this neighborhood feel as much like home as my parents own house. I remember as a teenager driving down Main Street and knowing that there was great potential in each of those store fronts. <br /><br />Jess and James and all the other business owners near Sheridan and Main are my heroes. They show us that when you fight for your neighborhood you can make a real difference rather quickly. Keep up the good work and someday I'll barely recognize what were once abandoned store fronts and empty lots.

You and your visionaries are doing a remarkable job up there.
