Ya it looked much nicer then northwoods, I realy like the peoria area and I might move down there in a year or too but im not sure yet. It is nice to know there is some outdoor shopping around.

Fairholm is a terrible part of town. If you are used to a Palatine lifestyle, I would recommend Dunlap as a much safer alternate. The schools are excellent and the crime rate is fairly low. Plenty of shopping close by and the commute to downtown is easy.
