Looks kinda like my Wilmette summer place, or maybe the one in Red Bank, or maybe St. Louis, or perhaps Bethesda. So hard to keep track.

But if you know the name and location of someone, there are plenty of ways to find it online.

We drove around the NS back in HS to see Kevin's house, Cam's house, whatever HS closed and was used for the breakfast club, and something else from 16 candles.

haven't seen that house in 20 years

This puts Peoria squarely in the 20th Century.

(Actually, a lot of cities had property ownership / assessment information as early as the late '90s.....)
