Not an impossible walk. Take Scheel Street, which curves south into Charles Street. After about five blocks, you hit East Main.<BR/><BR/>Also, I think the #1 Main-State bus line goes that way. <BR/><BR/>If driving, IL Route 15 is another, very quick route to Belleville, east from I-255. It meets IL Route 159 just south of the downtown, so it's probably faster than taking 159 through Fairview Heights and Swansea.<BR/><BR/>IL 15 is also the way to get to the great free Christmas drive-through light display at the National Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14185823164539776639noreply@blogger.com
