Great people! Galesburg, is just the right size city for me; a good place to raise kids among a somewhat diverse population, good schools, teachers, sports teams, and many churches, a community college and historic Knox college, around which Galesburg was planned and built; people who care enough to renovate and restore the great old homes — a treasure of architectural styles; a variety of annual activities to participate in, Railroad Days festivities, Taste of Galesburg, the Big Bang Boom, Heritage Days, the Stearman Fly-in; the Civic Arts center, art shows, theatres, plays, shopping, unique shops, massage therapists, yoga, spiritual study groups, several high-quality restaurants to enjoy, parks, gyms, a soon-to-be new library, a hometown daily newspaper — complete with lively debates, the Unify Galesburg forum,an interesting and storied history, public services, good people involved in local public service, politics and community affairs, not too much vehicle traffic, and many awesome, new improvements in and around our burg! I love “our town”!
