Chalice says "Of course that land belongs to the natives, but it's an interesting historical marker, right? It would be a shame for it to be sold to private industry. The public commons get smaller every year..."

The text "Save the Playground!" is imposed over a historic marker. "The site of Old Peoria, a European settlement in the Illinois country, was established by the French at or near this place in the winter of 1691-1692. Presented by the Illinois State Society, and Pimiteoui Chapter, October 24m 1992"
Chalice says that trash bin at the playground is right near the historic marker for Old Peoria.
Established in 1691, Peoria is the oldest permanent European settlement in Illinois! And Detweiller Playground is thought to be the site of that 334-year-old settlement!

A small bag of trash on the ground next to a trash bin at Detweiller Playground. Super-imposed text says "Save the playground!". The icon of Chalice, a burning candle on a black background, is imposed near the trash can.
Yesterday our friend Chalice picked up some litter at Detweiller Playground!
Enjoy the playground while you can! Come by every Sunday! www.openstreetmap.org?mlat=40.7035...
