I'm moving on.
This last couple of weeks has been bittersweet for me as I drove around central Illinois looking at buildings and streets I've been familiar with my whole life.
Recently a friend and I headed out to Morton to try the new Maxine's on Main, located at 208 N. Main Street.
We walked in to the cozy bungalow and were recognized by our reservation and arrival time and were seated on the front porch area at a tall table.

Tired of brown bagging it but don't want to break the bank? Here are some options for lunch under $10 in the Peoria area:
Late last month I met my husband in Pekin for lunch at Hacienda Fuentes Cantina & Grill in Pekin.
It looks like Rosie's BBQ & Grill on Sheridan Road in Peoria has closed.
I also heard that O's Tacos -N- More has closed. O's was on Farmington Road.
My birthday is creeping up, and I've been receiving some goodies from local establishments to help me celebrate.
I just found out what I'd been missing when we visited Champs West in Peoria for the first time just before the holidays.
In 2011, we bid farewell to the following local businesses. Here's to a new year of supporting local businesses!
Peoria's Chicago Grill on University Street closed a few weeks ago.
The former Country Diner in East Peoria is now open as El Mexicano.
I've been to the new Salt restaurant in Peoria Heights twice now for dinner. I tried to meet someone there for lunch once as well, but Salt is currently closed on Mondays.
This week we headed to the former Lonny's Dairyland spot on Farmington Road for lunch at the newly opened O's Tacos -n- More.
I'm in my thirties. I was raised in Chillicothe, lived in Peoria for several years and then moved to Washington with my husband and our black lab where we've been for over 10 years.My hobbies include travel, travel and travel. I love to explore a winding country road or a new town to see what kind of off the beaten path treasures I can discover.
