I was told by two different people that there was another big fight downtown last night.
These incidents consistently occurring are what make many people not want to live or do business in Streator.
When will our city council members take action to keep these things from happening so often?

as far back as I can remember there has been an altercation happening almost every weekend in Streator. mixing alcohol and testosterone can cause problems in any city in the USA. I don't think Streator is any different then others myself.

Fights do not happen every weekend in a lot of other communities. They happen a lot more often here.
I'm not denying that there aren't some fights everywhere, but not nearly as often as they happen here.
I'm convinced that Streator is known for trouble and a lot of people don't want to be around it.

There is NO convincing that Streator is KNOWN for TROUBLE. Little Chicago I've heard it called MANY MANY times in other Towns. Then again, so is Chicago along with a many more Cities and Towns.

I never respond to the threads but feel that with myself there is a lot of bashing of Streator.
A couple of weekends ago my husband and I went to s show in Ottawa (and let me tell you that will be the last time) as their movie theater is disgusting. I will wait for the movie to come to our nice theater or for it to come to disc.
Sorry for getting of topic but as we left their ohhh fantastic theater and walked down the side street (to see the horrible shape of their building) there where a group of gentlemen (used losely) that where drunk in the parking lot of I believe it is ace. They where cussing up a storm and yes urinating along the building. Boys will be boys! To say the least a fight broke out...so no it is not just Streator that has this problem.
And as we got into our vehicle the fight was continueing on and no police had arrived and we had called 911. So until you c as n absolutely prove that Streator is the only town in LaSalle county that has this issue I wish (and it might only be my wish) that you would quit downgrading Streator so badly. If I was so unhappy with the town I sure would not live here or own a business here. And no I am not one of the" good ole boys" you refer to repeatedly. I am a Streator citizen that owns a house, pays my bills, works here, and trys to keep my funds in town.

Oh come on, everyone! YOU were the ones defending Kyle for so long! NOW you're getting tired of hearing it? ? He's been flooding this forum for so long now with his anti-Streator rhetoric, he will never stop now. YOU wanted it, YOU got it! Deal with it.

Could you supply the date of your visit to Ottawa and saw a fight when leaving the theatre please? I did not hear about it and would like to look into it. Like I said, I know that it happens other places, but not nearly as often as it happens here.

If I was so unhappy with the town I sure would not live here or own a business here. Maybe that is why there are so many vacancies and property values are so low. There are a lot of things that I do like here. Maybe instead of giving up on our community, more people should try to change the things that are problems. I just keep seeing more people leave though.

Here is something to think About people I moved out of Streator and when I say I used to live there the people go OH you mean Little Chicago and I am in the Backwoods of Arkansas. Also it helps having a Police officer for a neighbor and a Friend so he did me a Favor and LOOKED up the crimes actually REPORTED in Streator guess what next to no Arrests for Public Intoxication Public Urination or even Assault and Battery that was on Kyle's Videos. He goes what are the cops good for NOTHING there.

I am a Streator citizen that owns a house, pays my bills, works here, and trys to keep my funds in town. I printed out this post and walked over to the police station, since it is just a few hundred feet away, within sight of the lot you are talking about. The officer that I talked to thought it was strange that he didn't hear anything about it. Yes, please do provide me the date and time, and any other details you have about the incident. I would like to inquire further with OPD. These things really aren't good for business. I've talked to Reed Wilson, the Economic Development Director and Mayor Eschbach enough that I am am pretty confident they realize how bad these things are for business and would help get to the bottom of this.

I can't believe a fight occurred that the police didn't hear about. That is unheard of. Maybe I will follow up on this as well. Now, who should I talk to first? I think I will talk to myself about himself and see if he has the same thoughts as yourself. Then there is the Ottawa officer himself who talked to myself, but on the other hand if he talked to myself then there is really no need for us to talk unless he is going to be talking to himself because I definitely want to be there to listen to that. I do need to make it a point to talk to Reed Wilson and Mayor Eschbach though. I am thinking a conference call would be best. This way I won't be the only one talking to myself. If everyone agrees, I think we got ourselves a plan to get to the bottom of this......
