Response To The Pundit’s Latest Blast At The PCC

Billy’s whining about the Civic Center again.

In my 11 years in the Peoria area, I’ve been to events at the Civic Center about 650 times…as best I can guess. That includes almost 400 Rivermen games, a few dozen concerts, 10 or 11 car shows, home and boat shows, state basketball tournaments, March Madness experience, a few comics/broadway shows in the Theatre, and a few business connections/functions.  I’ve also been to the old Vonachen Stadium dozens of times, and the gorgeous O’Brien Field dozens of times, and not just for baseball.

Food For Thought

While enjoying the current discussion over at Billy’s place  on racism and dress codes at Peoria bars, and after reading the attempted explanation from “anonymous cop” in the comments section, I got to thinking. Based on the clothes that each of these eleven people pictured below are wearing, every one of them would be allowed into any bar in downtown Peoria. Anyone care to guess who they are?
