Council Votes Against Historic Designation

Last Tuesday night the Peoria city council voted 9-1, in favor of not designating the building as a historical landmark.

Now what? The post is currently waiting for the church to resume negotiations. This is expected to happen before the next Amvets meeting, on Monday Dec. 8.

What about the Penguin? The Penguin still has a 'for sale' sign in front of the building. It is rumored that the owner of the Penguin is still willing to sell to the Amvets. The post will, presumably, try to resume negotiations with the Penguin once the church's intentions are better known.
