DECATUR â Anthony Peoples has been on the radar screens of Central Illinoisans since he arrived in Decatur a year ago. But his notoriety goes beyond his job as meteorologist for a local television station. The morning weather forecaster also can be seen walking in areas around Lake Decatur with his eyes focused on his latest read. âI have more people ask âAre you the guy that walks on 36?,â âAre you the guy that walks on Lost Bridge?â,â he said. âThatâs me.â Anthony Peoples gets some exercise and reads a book about Abraham Lincoln titled "My Thoughts Be Bloody" by Nora Titone, while walking around Lake Decatur, on May 13, 2020.
