Peoria's more famous than we thought (SuperInformation)
Peoria was the breeding ground for this life-changing discovery.
I found the article fairly interesting, but if you just want to get to the good stuff, it's about 7 paragraphs down.
Who knew? Or did you all know, and I'm the only one out of the loop?
Wonder if that rotting cantaloupe came from BU's cafeteria? :)

I'm also a bit in awe that penicillin has only been around since the 1940's! I thought it had been around for much longer than that for some reason.

I had no clue. Penicillin and Peoria - how odd! Almost as good as the Internet and Champaign-Urbana. The best part of all this, of course, is your witty "breeding ground" reference!

I bet it was the USDA Research Center, not Bradley. Still, yet another quirky piece of Peoria heritage for us to be proud of.
