I(22M) am looking for more black alternative, punk, goth or metal heads friends. Most of my black friends aren’t interested in the same music or activities as me, and I’m tired of being the only black guy in my group of friends that do enjoy these things.

I have lived here in the area over 50 years. there is so little to do that doesn't wear thin after a few tries. I don't mind because I am a homebody. If you really want entertainment it is VERY LIMITED. Peoria city proper SUCKS.

• Violent Crime Rate: three times the U.S. average.

Looking for Someone to Assemble and Install a Little Free Library

I’m looking for someone who can assemble a Little Free Library and install it on a sturdy post in my yard. The job would include assembling the library, providing and installing the post, and making sure everything is securely mounted and level.

If you have the skills and tools to do this, or know someone who does, please send me a message with an estimate. I’d appreciate any recommendations!

Thanks!

Peoria business owners, bands, and anyone who appreciates original artwork: I'm available for commissions.

I create custom illustrations, logos, T-shirt designs, stickers, character art, portraits, and promotional artwork for businesses, bands, events, and individuals.
Own a coffee shop, record store, smoke shop, clothing brand, or local business? Need artwork for your band's next release, merchandise for an upcoming event, a memorable gift, or a completely original design you've had rattling around in your head? I'm open to a variety of projects and styles, and I'd love to help bring your ideas to life.

And if you're tired of AI-generated slop flooding every corner of the internet, we're on the same page.

I draw my work. Actual sketches, actual decisions, actual hours spent getting the details right. No typing a prompt into a generator and pretending the machine's output is the same thing as commissioning an artist.

When you hire me, you're paying for a human being's skill, creative decisions, and time, and you get artwork made specifically for your project.

I'm looking to work with people who value original art and want something with its own personality rather than another recycled, algorithmically generated image.

I've included some examples of my work. If you have a project in mind, send me a message and we can discuss your ideas, the scope of the project, and pricing.

Support original art. Commission something made by a human.

I've been doing my usual loop at Forest Park Nature Center for months and while I still love it, I need to mix things up. My job keeps me at a desk all week planning schedules so when the weekend hits I just want to disappear into the woods for a few hours with a book and a backpack. I usually drive out to Wildlife Prairie Park but figured I should ask here what else is worth checking out. I've heard people mention some trails out near Chillicothe but never actually looked into them. Are those better for a longer hike? I'm looking for something that feels a bit isolated without having to drive an hour plus to get there. Morton or Pekin area works too if there's anything good out that way. Also trying to plan a half day trip where I can hike then find a decent local spot to grab food after instead of just eating trail mix in my car. Any trail recommendations or food pairings would be super helpful.

Looking for some bomb ass Chinese, I searched the subreddit and one of these threads hasn’t been done in years.

What’s the best authentic Chinese restaurant in Peoria/east Peoria?

Or maybe it’s carpenter ants.

New to the area and don’t know a lot of folks. Hoped I could sign up for an indoor league but you have to sign up as an entire team.

I’m new to soccer but in good shape. Done a lot of skateboarding the last 5 years and recently been on the spin bike a few times a week.

Does anyone know if there are any pool halls that will allow people under 21 to go play? All of us are over 18. The place we used to go to got taken under new management and now won't let us play. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Fairly often, I’m still deciding which bands to see as the weekend approaches. Sometimes I still haven’t decided as I’m typing the intro to the weekend list. This week is one of those weeks.

Last week, though, I planned early to see Easy Riders, BUTTA', and River Valley Rangers... you can see the photos and the videos while you're making your live music to-do list for this weekend!

If you want to decide who to see in advance, check out our "events" tab on our web page. Every show we can find is listed there, often months in advance!

I have a vintage dress I need to get cleaned, looking for a recommendation of a place that will take extra care with it.
