Haven't been to the CN Tower per se', but did stay for a week at a hotel right by it ... "L' tel (or something like that)." Funny don't remember BIBI or Steph waving?

Near us ... Lincoln's home in Springfield; Navoo where the Mormon's used to have their temple before they moved to Salt Lake City; 2-3 hours from both Chicago and St. Louis (less if you drive too fast ); and a beautiful park called "Starved Rock." A series of rock outcroppings along the Illinois River about an hour north of us. West of Peoria is the "Wildlife Prarie park" which is a 2,000 acre preserve feature native Illinois wildlife in their natural settings. Black bear, wolf, badger, bison, deer ... and countless birds and other animals. Wonderful place to visit!

Peoria area actually has quite a bit close by. Not a bad place to live.
