Downtown Peoria: Remember 9/11

Although not a 'real' memorial for 9/11, Downtown Peoria has it's own Twin Towers on the corner of SW Jefferson Ave & Fulton St.
From this corner, head NE on Jefferson, to the edge of the East Tower. Here you will see (on the other side) an Exit Only sign.


 Sit next to "Exit" facing NE, and with your left hand, reach under for the small black Velcrod pouch that we will never forget.



Please make sure NO ONE is watching when retrieving/replacing this pouch! Also, make sure you get the Velcro connected securely! If it needs attention, email me asap please!
9 REMEMBER 11 ALWAYS 01
++ Downtown Peoria, IL
* Soldiers & Sailors
* Bradley Braves
* Remember 9/11
* The Spirit of Peoria
* A Portrait of Mark Twain
* St. Mary's Cathedral
* Knockin' on Freedoms Door-coming soon

All of the Downtown Peoria Boxes are with walking distance of each other. The farthest one out is the Cathedral, so that one may be best to drive to first, or at the end, your choice.

There is parking all around the streets, but there if free parking down by the Riverfront building on NE Water Street, behind the parking lot-take a left on Hamilton onto Water St.

++ Cautions/Warnings/Tips
Do NOT attempt any of these boxes during lunch time. This is when all the foot carts and breaks are taken and it gets busy!
The same applies for anytime, if there are people around, come back another time.

For those parking down by the Riverfront, the order below is best to do them in-in a row. The cathedral can be done 1st or last, doesn't matter.

The Spirit of Peoria-When retrieving/replacing, make sure no one is watching! Down by the river is a busy place, especially with the riverfront fountains up off to your right! Make sure you get the pouch with magnets tape in put back securely!

Knockin' on Freedoms Door--Coming Soon-Also on the Convention Center, in the piece of art dedicated to Moses and Lucy Pettengill's Underground Railroad home which is now the site for the Convention Center.
Make sure the Velcro and stamp are connected securely and that it is out of sight!

Bradley Braves- Simple silver Velcro'd pouch to the sign on the Convention Center. Stealth is still required!

Remember 9/11- Small black pouch Velcro'd to sign, please make sure you get it fully connected before leaving. If the Velcro is falling apart, let me know Asap, Please!

Soldiers & Sailors- "Box'' is next to the courthouse and on Main St. Extreme Stealth is required! Please make sure you put it back exactly where you found it-wedged between the 2 branches and out of sight!

A Portrait of Mark Train-During the week, especially during lunch, many employees come out to take a break/eat/smoke/ect... Be wise when retrieving/replacing the stamp in the sprinkler!

St. Mary's Cathedral-Park as close as you can to the light post to 'block' some of your view from muggles. Make sure you are not interrupting church go-ers and that you are not seen when finding/replacing this box.

*The only box with a logbook is St. Mary's Cathedral, the rest are just the stamp.
