Along the way, I picked up the necessary provisions. On Thursday, May 27, I drove from Peoria, Illinois, to Cedar Rapids, Iowa. …and, afterwards, got unreasonably excited when Eminem came on the radio. The only other things I can tell you about my time in Peoria, outside of the ballpark, was that I ate lunch at Lorena’s…. That Nancy Sinatra LP is produced by Lee Hazlewood, and if you ever see Nancy and Lee’s names together on the same album then do not think. Hank Williams: “Sings ‘Kaw-liga’ and Other Humorous Songs” Richard Pryor: “Wanted” (he is a Peoria native, after all) I ended up buying a small pile of albums, four of which I can recall immediately at this moment. Ribbon Records had a lot of used records, as well as books, DVDs and random cultural ephemera.Īt Ribbon Records, the stacks were alive. The hours of this place are kind of spotty, but luck was on my side. This is Ribbon Records, a hybrid record and vintage clothing shop which, according to this blog post, is in a building formerly occupied by Murray’s Department Store.
It’s just what I do, as I’m a creature of habit.
#Dozer park concessions free#
When I have a small window of free time in a city that I’ve never been to, I find a record store to visit. I arrived in Peoria on the night of May 25 and thus had some free time in the early afternoon before attending May 26’s Chiefs game. This post finishes the job, detailing my non-ballpark wanderings as I moved from Peoria to Cedar Rapids to Des Moines to Omaha. The previous post in this “Return to the Road” blog saga covered the first half of my May 2015 trip through the Midwest.
