FOX 2 In You Neighborhood: Alton, Illinois
ALTON, Ill. – FOX 2 is in your neighborhood, Alton!
We explored so much of what the city has to offer, from historical sites and haunted tours to great entertainment this weekend.
‘Fast Eddie’s’ is one of the most popular spots on the riverfront. The Bon Air brings in visitors from all around the world with its cold beer and $4 hamburgers. They claim to be the celebration spot for 7,000 21st birthdays every year.
Self-checkouts are disappearing from retailers. Here’s why
Right across the street is the ‘Argosy Casino.’ It’s one of the smallest casinos in the area, but it was also the first. Also, don’t forget to check out ‘Old Bakery Beer Company,’ where every year they celebrate Robert Wadlow’s birthday.
You can also learn about Alton’s haunted past by taking the Odyssey bus or walking tour. There’s beer involved in that as well.
The Alton High School Dance Team showed us their moves, and we had a great chat with Mayor David Goins, the first African American mayor in Alton.
