No relation to me but I'm sure def a relation to the LaHood Family...LaHood Family is very big family here in Peoria....I've seen pictures of the place your talking about tho in books when I have gone to Peoria Historical Society building downtown to look for certain info on different things...that Avantis restaurant is the first and oldest of four Avantis in Peoria area and still makes a killing to this day couldn't have picked a better location to start a restaurant if you ask me since property is caddy corner from Bradley University all tho college every year spending money on food has generated millions easily just off that location alone what is ironic tho is the sole owners of Avantis is not even Italian there from Swizterland...old man by the name of Albert Zeller started it and is still alive today and he has a only child I believe a son by the name of Stefan Zeller who by looking at time can tell has a very bad cocaine habit.
