    tower-park2007-07-27-1185541269.jpgCity Convenience - Village Charm

    This is not just an empty slogan.  Peoria Heights lies in the center of a metropolitan population base of around 300,000, but our Village has only about 6500 residents. Peoria Heights has a vibrant and exciting shopping area . . . a throwback to the shopping you might remember from a generation or two ago.  Our housing is very affordable.  Our school district is small enough to allow students the opportunity to participate in any activity that they are interested in, but large enough to properly prepare them for college.  Our topography is always interesting and oft times breathtaking.  The Illinois River Valley offers scenery not readily available in the Midwest . . . and the best place to see it is from the Observation Tower in Tower Park.  Forest Park Nature Center has miles of hiking trails through the woods.  Peoria Heights has a storied and interesting history.  From known Indian settlements to the Duryea Automobile, to Alfresco Amusement Park to the Pabst Brewing Buildings and to Grand View Drive, we have a past that we are proud of and we are dedicated to recognizing it in the future.

    Join WMBD 31 “On the road” as we salute 15 Central Illinois Communities throughout the summer.  We will be doing our 5 & 6 PM News LIVE from these communities throughout the Summer.

    We’re celebrating 50 years at WMBD 31…  So each week we’ll be giving away $50 Gas Cards, Weather Radios, Six Flags tickets, $50 in gift cards from CEFCU, and a $200 Gift Certificate to Shermans… and at the end of the year a 50 inch HDTV from Shermans.

    When possible, WMBD 31 News this morning will be live from the “community center” (coffee shop or other morning gathering location) in the selected community.  Chuck Collins will do Weather live from the WeatherLab.  Bob Larson and Meg Johnson will do Special Community features and live interviews focusing on the communities.  The local sports features with Kurt Pegler and Rob Coons will showcase the communities teams.  Wrap up of the days activities with a special feature in FOX news @ Nine on WYZZ.
