Apr. 23—Richland Creek has a "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" reputation in the metro-east communities it runs through. Load Error That's according to Mike Quirin, a retiree who has spent the past three years trying to drum up interest in the "urban" stretch of the creek, which begins at Three Springs Park in Shiloh and runs through Swansea and Belleville on its way to the Kaskaskia River. The Mr. Hyde part is the serious damage done to buildings, vehicles, parks and other property during floods and the dangers related to periodic dumping of sewage and chemicals.
