Matt Savoie skated last night for the men and placed 7th overall. It's so neat to see a guy that was born, raised, and trained in Peoria, IL did so well.

Consider that his training base, then and now, is ... Peoria, Ill., no skating mecca, and that 16 years later he still is coached by the woman who taught him to skate

You know, I heard them say someone else was from Naperville. I didn't catch who it was but thought that was pretty neat...lol.

Where are you near?

I live about 20 minutes outside of Peoria in a little town called Metamora. We're so tiny (1,200 people), so I go ahead and claim Peoria as my town so that people know whereabouts we live. ;)

What towns are figure-skating-towns, out of curiosity? :)

Congratulations on your proximity to semi-greatness. :)
