It is 2.5 hrs from Chicago, 2.5 hrs from St. Louis, 3 hrs from Indianapolis. It is a lively river city with lots of culture, entertainment, business, technology. Peoria is home to Caterpillar, Inc - one of the 30 companies composing the Dow Jones average. Peoria is also the world headquarters for Maui Jim Sunglasses.

Peoria has become famous as a representation of the average American city because of its demographics and its perceived mainstream Midwestern culture.

The question "Will it play in Peoria?" has now become a metaphor for whether something appeals to the American mainstream public.

Peoria features minor league baseball and hockey. It is the home to Bradley University, Illinois Central College, and the University of Illinois College of Medicine.

The city has three major hospitals: OSF Saint Francis Medical Center, Methodist Medical Center of Illinois, and Proctor Hospital.
