Lake Property!! Ranch Home in Freeburg, Ill

$220,000

Waterfront property!! You will love this full brick, 3 bedroom, 2 bath custom, ranch home backing up to a 10 acre lake. The fishing is great for bass, bluegill and catfish.

The New Mississippi River Bridge - Did You Know?

DID YOU KNOW????
****
The total cost of the new Mississippi River Bridge Project is estimated at $670 Million. It is the equivalent to one-dollar bills laid end to end circulating the equator more than two and a half times.
****
In August 2004 William Perkins and Russ Reike, members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, gave Rep. Jerry Costello (D-IL) petitions with over 4,000 signatures supporting the naming of the new bridge "Veteran's Memorial Bridge". This effort was supported by U.S. Rep John Simpkus (R-IL) and Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn. The Missouri State Legislature voted on Aug. 28, 2005 to name the bridge after Pres. Ronald Regan. At this time, the new bridge does not have an offical name.

The New Mississippi River Bridge - Did You Know??

DID YOU KNOW???
*****
The new Mississippi River Bridge is the first being built to connect downtown St Louis and Southern Illinois in more than 40 years.
****
The cable stay portion of the bridge will be just over four football fields in length.
****
Concrete does not dry; it cures. Curing is the hardening process that occurs because of the chemical reaction between cement and water.
