I was born at St. Francis Hospital, and grew up where Reagan went to college, so Peoria will always have a spot in my heart. I don’t miss the sticky summers, and the hideous winters!
You are correct about it being Jefferson Street, not Main. That is obvious. Not sure the fur place is valid as does not appear on the correct corner. I missed this the last time: The guy in the middle of the street looks exactly like my Dad. He has the same build, hair, glasses, pants, stance, and arms. I look at my Dad's photo from 1933 every day on my desk dressed the same way. My Dad tailored his own clothes from scratch to give a unique look. The man walking across the street and my Dad are probably the same.
Interesting to see depression era scenes in Peoria. I remember it more from the 50's and 60's, but downtown was still recognizable. The city just isn't the same now that Caterpillar left, and i have been gone over 40 years from that area. It's a good heartland city.
@@gaguy1967 I guess you're not a history major. In almost every photograph of vehicles, there seems to be an awful lot of 1930s era vehicles for the 1920s. That's a neat trick. Especially the clear side shot of a 1934 or 35 Dodge sedan on the street in Peoria. And perhaps you missed the photo of license renewals for the year 1938 that was clearly written on the sign. Not to mention the fact that both men and women are clearly wearing post-depression Styles in the 1920s. Another neat trick.
@@richardbullwood5941 your reading comprehension is poor, i never said the video is from the 1920s. I was responding to your statement that Henry Ford said "you can have any color so long as it is black" He said that in the 1920s
@@gaguy1967 well, I think it's your comprehension that's a little soft. You gave one sentence. "It was from the 1920s". But yet you did not respond directly to my comment, since my profile name is not in your comment. You responded to my comment by responding to the video itself. So the context is confusing from the get-go. And I don't know what reading-comprehension has to do with one sentence when it is unclear whether that one sentence is referring to my comment or the title of the video itself. And since you didn't comment directly to mine, people are left to guess what your one-sentence refers to. Being clear about context is the backbone of conversation. You can't have comprehension without clarity.

Fantastic! I know where many of those buildings use to exist...some i have never seen but know by detailed descriptions from parents and grandmother.
Imagini atat de calme ! imi dau senzatia ca sunt acolo ...intr o plimbare .🎷
Thank you for your support ❤
At the beginning on the right where the sign reads “FURS” is now Big Al’s strip club

Where are the kids?? Also how old are the buildings they look old. 1850/1840 the buildings?

homesick know
I don't really miss it....I thought I would but I don't.
Peoria had palm trees? (01:05)
I am officially questioning the color on some of these cars. Remember, Henry Ford wanted you to have any color you wanted as long as it was black!
That's what you're questioning...?
Don't you know anything about this time.
that was the 1920s
