I have told people about places that used to be on Knoxville, especially around Knoxville and McClure and they just look so surprised.
The irony is that only a few blocks south of there is that big empty space that just sits there.

I guess with the road the way it is today still would feel like bricks.

I'd love to know what that building is too. I miss AIHOP and Mr. Donuts. Those were the only donuts I've ever craved.

I don't think University was that wide back then.

It would be great if it looked like this. Nobody in the left lane driving 22 mph while talking on their cellphone.

@ChefKevin I have never liked cellphones. Just amazing how things look today. Looks like this would be about 1920`s era.

@JeepPilot
The building on the left looks like the USDA building, so this would be where the ramps for 74 are now. Right?

These are awesome pictures! Doubt too many in Peoria can tell us what some of these buildings were anymore, though.
