Illinois Community Profiles: Collinsville

Just now seeing this on YouTube although it probably aired a while ago.

I don't know how many of these you'll see on Illinois Channel, but surely you'll see them profile many communities around the state.

Eventually they may profile Chicago, although perhaps more is known about Chicago for the most part than Collinsville. I don't know if they'd try to do a short segment on the whole city itself with a few neighborhoods getting a few seconds of mention or which I think is a better idea they profile specific neighborhoods.

So the next idea here is, what would bring Illinois Channel to our part of the city? What's here that is worth profiling to the rest of the state?

Surely they could profile the architecture in our communities with Chatham's bungalows or the other well designed homes here in the 6th. They certainly could profile the people who are leaders in various community organizations or block clubs who work to keep our area a desirable place to live.

Most importantly, what could be profiled is how this part of the city is home to minority owned businesses. I'd get a kick out of say Seaway Bank being shown on Illinois Channel. Or even some of the restaurants such as Army & Lou's or even Lem's BBQ.

Anyway if any cameras from Illinois Channel came by to profile our area, what do you think is worth seeing on TV?
