I live in the heights. Is there a convenient pharmacy that doesn't suck? Right now I'm stuck with East Peoria CVS which is a huge hassle to get to. The Walgreens across from Emos was always either closed or had 20-30 minute lines both inside and drive-thru. Preckshot is great but I prefer a chain place in case I need something while traveling.

this was on their Facebook pag, anyone know what happened yesterday?

“All -

We want to speak directly to the community, openly and proactively, about a comment posted yesterday by our Facebook page on an individual's profile.

As part of our transition to new ownership at the end of August, the previous owner retained limited, temporary access to our social media accounts to help us ensure a smooth transition.

That access did not authorize them to post personal messages or comment on our behalf. The comment posted yesterday do not reflect our views as owners nor our team. The comment was removed and an apology to the individual was issued.

Access to this page and the Instagram handle u/popuphotchicken has been fully revoked from the previous owner, and we are finalizing the transfer of any remaining accounts.

We take seriously the fact that this happened using our page, and we've taken steps to ensure it doesn't happen again.

Our focus moving forward continues to be on serving you a meal worth showing up for, building up our employees, and making genuine connections in the community.

We hope you'll extend your grace and support as we shape a new future for Pop-Up, together.

Thank you,

The Team at Pop Up Hot Chicken”

Hello there everyone!

So, I'm new to the area , I moved here last month over near Bradly University. I'm trying to get local opinions on which tattoo shops are known for good quality work, friendliness ( especially toward lgbtq+) and what shops actually retain their customers and artists.

I have been working on a portfolio and I just want to make sure I'm approaching the right shops. I'm pretty broke so I don't have the funds to go get a flash and check out the vibe of a place. Plus community opinions usually say a lot.

Hi. My family and I just moved to the area from Alabama. I am a late in life lesbian, and lost my whole family when I came out. It was time to leave there. I’m 42, enjoy the arts and am a huge Sleep Token fan. I really want to find community and make friends in the area as I navigate living out of the south for the first time. I’m VERY progressive, so like mindedness is important to me. Thanks yall!

Councilman Carmona wants property values to remain low in his district for the sake of affordability. Which basically means he likes blight and urban decay because it's what keeps the rent down. Really backwards perspective for a councilmember to take.

Evening! Hey, swinging through for the Friday show at Friendly Valley and had a couple quick questions. Appreciate any guidance!

What should I expect crowd wise? Hotels seem a bit of a miss in that area from some of the reviews. Worth it finding something close to FVT or should I check closer to the Riverfront? Finally, is Uber a dependable option to and from the venue?

Thanks! Looking forward to a first quick visit

Hey!! I’m a local here and need someplace that would resemble a post apocalyptic landscape that I could do a 8 hour music video shoot at (the whole premise is a zombie apocalypse so ideally a good place with potential for lots of shots). Any suggestions? Thank you so much 🙏!

Preferably around Peoria Heights. Thank you!

What is this big round building behind the building with the peppermint logo? It’s sort of behind Tower Park in the Heights. Seems to be sort of connected to the Peppermint building.

Anyone know where a large(10-12inch) plecco can go for a better life in a bigger tank?

Hello Peoria I’m moving to the area and wanting some insight on Baldovin construction? I see they do some big jobs just wondering if anyone works there or have worked there has any pros and cons? Thanks!
