I love Peoria's Skyline, it's not as nice as LA or Chicago. You don't need to visit Chicago that often but you still get urban amenites.

Nice picture, but to really get the effect you have to drive in to Peoria westbound on 74 on a dark night, looking off the bluffs down at the illuminated skyline. The same goes for rt. 24 westbound, but to a slightly lesser extent.

No other city in the state has quite that view.

If Chicago is a world class beer like Spaten and Madison is a good microbrew, Peoria is like Busch

If Chicago is like Barack Obama and Madison is like Ron Paul, Peoria is like Bush

And so on...

So true. I have always thought that Peoria's skyline trully gives a face to downstate Illinois. For a city of its size, it is quite nice!

I agree 100% its a shame Springfield, Bloomington/normal don't have a real skyline.
