Sheridan Village was once one of Peoria’s most vibrant and lively shopping destinations. Sadly, that’s all changed today.

Here’s some before and after photos of this legendary strip mall in Peoria.

RANDOM PHOTOS FROM THE PAST I FOUND ONLINE

Here’s some photos I found online of this shopping strip mall when it was one of Peoria’s must stop and shop destinations.

There’s the legendary sign and shots of a crowd heading towards Kresge’s, there’s Bergner’s, the Talking Christmas Tree at Bergner’s and a shot of an airplane with a lot of the stores at Sheridan Village behind it.

The good old days!

PHOTOS FROM A BLOG POST FROM 2013

And here’s some sad photos I took from a blog I did when I revisited Sheridan Village in 2013. Almost everything was empty except for Bergner’s.

Here’s a link to that post.

Creepy Statue

This statue was located next to Bergner’s and it always creeped me the fuck out!

PHOTOS FROM ANOTHER BLOG POST A YEAR LATER

I like the old Sheridan Village sign a lot better than this one.

There were still a lot of empty store fronts, but there was a nail shop, a tuxedo place, a Chinese restaurant and a HyVee grocery store in operation back then.

I think only the HyVee is still in business today.

And Bergner’s is totally gone.
