    "I lived in East Bluff for 16 years and it is a pretty good area to have been. As long as you don't try to start any confrontations, you should be okay. Neighbors change frequently, so that is something to be wary of. Peoria as a whole, however, makes a person stagnant. Many of the people that live here work for a few main companies, one of which lays people off every few years. My suggestion is that unless you are absolutely sure your job is there to stay, or you have never left the P, don't move to Peoria. It will not help you grow as a person. It will make you stagnant, and make you grow content with never striving for more."
