I have the distinct privilege of traveling to Peoria, Illinois for July 5-6 for work. Any mags in the area?
My post-work plans for the moment are basically to retreat to the hotel with DVDs and my laptop...

P.S. Any skiing in Peoria in July?

Water skiing maybe. There's a distinct lack of elevation variation in the midwest.Quote:

i would estimate the drive at 2 1/2 hours, assuming no major traffic problems. 11-3 are usually are the best daylight hours to be driving in/near chicago. i have no idea about traffic in/near peoria, but unless there is some highway construction to slow you down i would think an after lunch drive from peoria to chicago would be the best time to do it.Quote:

Only been there once, and I wasn't sober, but I think it's right downtown.
as it's been said before, 2.5hrs is good estimate sans traffic. With traffic, who knows. Chicago recently got awarded second worst traffic behind LA. Woo!
