RoadDog Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Walgreen's has acquired the Pekin train depot and plans to build a store there. However, they are willing to give the building to the park district, which then would have to move it, a very costly procedure, including at least $55,000 for a new concrete foundation. The Pekin Park District held a meeting about it in the last few days and will make a final decision in April. Let's hope they decide to keep if and also a way to come up with the needed funds. Keep on Down that Two Lane Highway. --RoadDog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Reese Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Just what America need's...another chain drugstore. Here in Allentown you could almost run from one drug store to another to avoid sniper fire, and be fairly safe due to the small intervals from one to the next.
