'''Seminary Street''' is a street in [[Galesburg]].  It runs north-south, and marks the 400 block east.

The street runs from its northern end at its interchange with [[Highway 34]] (north of which it becomes County Road 1) to its southern end at Huston Street (south of which it becomes 400 E).  It runs straight, excepting where it crosses the [[Burlington Northern Santa Fe]] mainline track, where Seminary and [[South Street]] share the right-of-way through the [[South Street#Seminary Street Underpass|Seminary Street Underpass]].

North of [[Main Street]] it is called North Seminary Street, and south of Main Street it is called South Seminary Street.

==Features==
Seminary Street runs through the length of Galesburg.  Seminary has an intersection with [[Highway 34]] at its northern end.

The Seminary Street shopping district is the focal point of downtown rejuvenation in Galesburg.  Knox alum [[Jay Matson]] and his wife Mary were instrumental in the longevity of [[The Landmark]] and [[The Packinghouse]].

Destinations along Seminary in downtown Galesburg are numerous.  [[The Landmark]] and [[Chez Willy's]] are on the street, and [[The Packinghouse]] is just off Seminary on Mulberry Street.  The [[Seminary Street Pub]], [[Innkeeper’s]], [[Cornucopia]], and [[Uncle Billy's Bakery]] are also in the three-block area with brick streets.  The [[Amtrak]] station is just south of the downtown shopping area.  The [[UPS Store]] is on the corner of Seminary and [[Main Street]].

Knox Admissions pushes Seminary Street heavily on [[prospective student|prospective students]] and their [[parents]] as proof that [[Galesburg]] is a nice place to live.  However, the majority of Seminary Street landmarks (i.e., [[Chez Willy's]],  and [[Innkeeper's]]) are so expensive that Knox students aren't even allowed to look at them, much less go inside.

==Seminary Street Underpass==
This is the main underpass for downtown traffic under the [[Burlington Northern Santa Fe]] railroad tracks.  It includes a sunken intersection at Seminary and [[South Street]], which merge to go under the tracks.  The intersection can be a little confusing.
