That's a lot of questions. Here are my answers the best I can remember. She wasn't charged with any crimes as far as I know. I can't remember if she was after the huge fire that started in there. Thinking more of this time I remember there was a general alarm fire there required assistance from other fire depts. SFD could give you better answers.
I worked for the city back then. It was in the mid 80's. I believe she was either committed to a hospital by a doctor or family member.
It was eventually condemned and torn down at city expense.
She is dead now. She bought the hotel and the Valley View site near Cornell. She destroyed both properties.
I don't know the three you are referring to in the assault charge.

Thank You FOT, I appreciate you answering what you can. I am still curious about a few things if anyone can answer more. What was Sister Connie's full name? Was she a nun? How did she come to be in the Hotel business? Did she make a lot of money being a nun and just decide to invest and change professions? What year did she get the Hotel? What condition was it in physically then and what kind of business did it do? What year did she go to the FBI? What were her complaints against the City considering that they didn't even charge her for supposedly violating laws? These are the three I was talking about: In another matter, three individuals were arrested for an Oct. 14 incident at Goodfellas Bar in Streator.
LaShawn L. Chandler, 43, of Streator, Clarence Merritte, 31, of Streator and Curtis M. Dawson, 33, of Chicago, were charged with felony aggravated battery.
Merritte has been transported to the La Salle County Jail and Chandler and Dawson will be transported to the county jail.

She felt it was her building to do with what she wanted and she didn't have to follow the same rules as everybody else. Sounds kind of familiar. So, she was breaking laws that everyone else was following, but the City of Streator did not file any charges against her to give her the opportunity to face her accusers and defend herself against the charges in a courtroom as was her Constitutional Right? That sounds kind of familiar. I would be more than happy to explain what I mean by that last statement, if you would like. Would you please explain what you meant when you said it? How is it that you are so convinced that she was a criminal? Let me guess, did the City make a very public declaration at a Council Meeting that she was illegal, and/or did a Councilman start telling people that it was "obvious" to the City that she was guilty, both of which encouraged people to boycott her business? If she were breaking laws, why not file charges against her? Did they turn their heads to her crimes and allow her to continue because they were trying to befriend her? Did the City of Streator's inaction to properly file charges against her create a dangerous situation in our downtown similar to Willy turning his head when he thought major life and safety code violations at the Majestic? Don't you think that the problem of not providing people their Constitutional Rights happening over multiple decades here shows that there are systemic City administrative problems here? Don't you think it shows that they should start doing things differently? Maybe our City government should at least start recognizing the Constitutional Rights of citizens.

Kyle Mitchell, What I think is, you have no evidence to back up your incessant whining about others being responsible for your business failures. Take your "evidence" to authorities that can do something about your "thoughts". Naw, you wouldn't do that, would you? You just LOVE THE ATTENTION! Oh, and do know what happened to that projector that Mr Endress donated to the Majestic? g

She wasn't really a nun. It's what she called herself. As far as I know she and her husband had farmland and sold it. The hotel was still in working order in the 80's. it had a restaurant, bar, and still rented rooms. It was a grand place. When she took it over she booted everyone out, closed the businesses and started her project to greet The Lord. That's about all I know. The FD could give you more info and you could find it at the library in the micro film.

What's it matter what I think anyway? I don't think of her as a criminal. I would classify her as a sad disturbed senile old woman. When I think of the word "criminal" I don't think of her or YOU. To set this to rest, I am not saying you have ever destroyed your building like she did hers. I'm done. Go have fun rehashing all of your issues but to exact the change you seek I suggest you hire a lawyer and make your case where it counts.

No problem dog. Which wall do you think it will be a benefit for? The one on the privately owned building that H&R Block is in, or the one on the vacant, wide open, dangerous, dilapidated City owned building there? Thank You to SDAB for doing so much more for our downtown than the City of Streator. The one that's yellow with pee.Well, I am glad that you see the problem too.

Go have fun rehashing all of your issues but to exact the change you seek I suggest you hire a lawyer and make your case where it counts. It doesn't matter to me what you think. It is about exposing that it is just yet one more vindictive attempt by a City supporter to falsely make me look like a criminal. Why are you done? You seemed so eager to talk. Well, shall we recap the whole Sister Connie situation? She owned a grand hotel downtown. You, someone who supports our City leaders so strongly, is under the impression that she was breaking laws. However, our City leaders never charged with anything, keeping her from having the opportunity to defend herself to clear her name as her Constitution Rights should allow. Her complaints against our City leaders were so strong that she went to the FBI. She closed her hotel down and destroyed it, leaving a mess for taxpayers to pay to clean up. Now our City leaders want a hotel downtown. Although the reasons are unclear, it is obvious that there was some type of major battle between Sister Connie and the City of Streator. I wouldn't be surprised if at the time that City of Streator thought they were winning, but doesn't it seem the other way around now?

Take your "evidence" to authorities that can do something about your "thoughts". Naw, you wouldn't do that, would you? You just LOVE THE ATTENTION! Oh, and do know what happened to that projector that Mr Endress donated to the Majestic? g Actually I have plenty of evidence and I am taking it to the authorities. Which projector are you talking about? Weren't there two donated? Why do you ask me about them? You aren't trying to imply that I had something to do with that scam, are you? You do recognize it as a scam don't you? After five years of running the business, you don't think that they only realized in the two months after accepting the $130,000.00 that the business was a failure, do you? Why do you even ask about the projectors? You don't think Streator can support a theatre with the excessive bar violence here, do you? Didn't you hear? Bar violence has won out over family entertainment in Streator. From what I understand, it is part of our Mayor's secret "vision" for our community. Our City leaders and their supporters are working on making us another Wrigleyville, but centered around the street brawls instead of baseball. They seem to think it will bring us high end shops like Naperville. Isn't that exciting? anonymous calls it "GENIUS"!

I reply, Why would she need to defend herself? Why would she have needed to clear her name? There was no battle between her and the city. You are taking this situation, which you know nothing about, and are trying to turn it around as if the city did something to her and make it seem like this is the history of the city leaders. You are wrong. The city stepped on when it became necessary to step in for her protection and the community. She was mentally unstable. if you couldnt tell thst by the fact she was waiting gor hod to come then youll never get it. This is why you lose support. Here I am trying to explain something to you and you twist it into something it wasn't. I don't know why I bothered to be nice and explain if this is what you are going to do.

Just when you think Kyle's rambling can't get any dumber, he proves beyond a doubt he is the champion of stupidity. Congratulations Kyle this something you've been working on your whole life. You must be so proud!
You'd be more productive if you sat in your room and jerked off all day. I've never read such moronic crap in my life. My classification of you as a medical moron looks better all the time.

She would need to defend herself and clear her name to keep people from thinking that she breaks the laws that everyone else follows. I'm not the one on here wanting to talk about Sister Connie. I was just trying to find out more about her because others seem to really like bringing her up here. anonymous posted that Sister Connie wasn't following the laws everyone else was following and that she had complaints so strong that she took them to the FBI. That sounds to me like there was a battle. I believe others have referred to there being problems between her and the City as well. Is it a fact that "she was waiting gor hod to come"? How do I know it is a fact, because you say so? Do you consider everyone who may be "waiting gor hod to come" to be mentally unstable? Are you the person here who gets to judge people to determine whether their religious beliefs are sane or not? There seems to be a lot of people here who feel that they get to judge others. I know that the two times that our City leaders judged my family as being illegal, we were not. Do you really expect me to not consider that our City leaders and their supporters could have also falsely and publicly judged Sister Connie as illegal and mentally unstable as well? Think about it. Despite the many, many times that I have said that I was not illegal and that it is wrong for leaders to declare so, Willy did it again and anonymous (obviously a strong supporter of our City leaders) is still trying to make people think that I have not followed laws. How many people do you think gave their lives or made other major sacrifices over the centuries to allow people to have the Constitutional Right to defend themselves before leaders and their friends attack people's credibility within the community? I don't think it is very respectful to those who sacrificed when we see those rights not honored.

I am Mayor Lansford. f**k you Kyle! You'd be more productive if you sat in your room and jerked off all day. Are you speaking from your personal experience Mayor Lansford? I think Willy was already trying to let people know how experienced you are. Our City leaders have such good supporters, doesn't everyone agree?

Kyle Mitchell after all your efforts to, in my opinion, discredit our elected officials, under the guise of trying to improve business in Streator, I really don't see a lot of support for your views. Do you really believe voting Streator citizens agree with your viewpoint? Why don't you just review this entire thread and share the names of all your supporters. Otherwise, at least in my opinion, this whole "blog" is just petty and vindictive.

I think Willy was already trying to let people know how experienced you are. Our City leaders have such good supporters, doesn't everyone agree? Yes it IS from actual experience. The results of an entire day of me jerking off are 100 times more valuable than anything ever spewed out of you. Should we start a poll? I'm starting to feel kind of sad for you and I'm not one to feel sad for others. Cut the bullcrap, stop calling me Mayor Lansford (I'm obviously fake), and put all your energy to something actually productive. If you can't see the failure of your approach now then you never will. If start thinking every person you come across on this board or in Streator is an butt (or corrupt, or inept, or whatever) then maybe the problem isn't with them. It's with you. I'll go back to jerking off now. Maybe you should give it a try.
