@TommyMisse56991@FuckBillionairz@vegasAlphons@ChiRuxinBGO I can vouch. He's related, I'm still here in Streator, IL - a former mfg powerhouse, now trying to grow new businesses and draw new employers. We'd be foolish not to consider incentives. Same with NW Ind. or any area needing an economic boost. Go Bears on my fantasy team.

@jtpedelty Same with Herscher-Bishop Mac and Wilmington-Morris. Closed conferences look like a great idea until rivals get dropped. Every school should have at least one nonconference week to play with. It's not as easy to schedule, but we have apps for that now :)
@RadioRodThorson@BobWestover2@barstoolWSD Affordable real estate, great place to raise a family, no abortion clinics, no dispensaries, revitalized downtown, reduction in crime, awesome Streator Fest lineup, Incubator renovation, great businesses out north -- of course anyone moving to Streator would be happy :)
@wphelan82 Political idiocy! Leo could be an ally but Trump is branding him as an anti-American wokester politician. Leo is not AOC. Heโs the spiritual leader of 1B people. Show respect & donโt risk losing support. This is not peaceful populist Trump. This is the new pro-war Trump. Sad.
Uploaded 100+ pictures on my recent road trip to Streator. I haven't found the time yet to put captions on them yet, but will repost when I do that.
Streator was once a huge railroad town, and a major manufacturer of glass.

Pain is rarely welcomed. Struggle is rarely chosen. Yet both have a strange way of shaping the soul.
We often ask God to remove the difficulty, when sometimes He is using it to form something within us that comfort never could. Strength grows where resistance exists. Faith deepens where answers are delayed. Character is forged where endurance is required.
This does not mean the pain is good in itself. Loss still hurts. Confusion still weighs heavily. But in the hands of God, even what was meant to break us can become the very place where He rebuilds us.
Scripture reminds us that suffering is not the end of the story. It is often the workshop where perseverance is formed, where hope is refined, and where faith proves genuine.
God does not waste what we endure. He shapes it. He redeems it. He uses it.
And in time, what once felt like only burden can become testimonyโevidence that grace was present even when we could not yet see it.
Faithfulness in the dark seasons is never unnoticed. The One who sees in secret remembers every step taken in trust.
Last post of the day. I was very, VERY impressed w/ the HUGE local history collection @ the Streatorland Historical Museum โ from unique glass products, small business artifacts, and a uniform from the '83 Bulldogs state champ softball team. Sight evokes memories.

Bulldogs clinch the out-right conference championship with a senior-led effort on Senior Night. Led 21-13 at half. Trailed 30-28 after 3Q. Exploed for 24 points (and made FTs!) in the 4th quarter to seal the deal.
L.A. Moton - 18 points
Joe Hoekstra - 15 points, 18 rebounds
Brennen Stillwell - 13 points
So proud of this group's resilience and ability to stick together through tough stretches this season.
