East Peoria?

December 17th, 2009
Peoria
Christian the Atheist asked:


Both Matthew “World Church of the Creator” Hale and Kent “Dr. Dino” Hovind grew up in East Peoria.

Relatives of mine lived there briefly, and I visited them twice. It didn’t seem like a haven for nuts; did I just miss that?

Is it just a weird circumstance that these two came from the same small town, or is there something about East Peoria that makes this less surprising?

And, if you aren’t from the Heart of Illinois - can you think of any other small town with a similar pair of less-than-favorite sons?

    You know, that’s one of those questions that just lingers. Now I know I’m going to spend too much time looking into E Peoria - bummer.
