No one really pays attention to Peoria. If you’re making a trip to Illinois, chances are your focus is on Chicago, maybe Springfield. In a state filled with bean fields and corn stalks as far as the eye can see it’s easy to see how most things that aren’t the big cities get overlooked. But maybe it’s time you took a ride in your Kia Rio and check out the city of Peoria. Have you ever wondered about the history of the giant bulldozers and steamrollers and dozens of other massive pieces of construction equipment? Then spend the day roaming the halls and displays at the Caterpillar Visitors Center. Try to catch a foul ball at O’Brien Field. Or soak up the sun and drink in the fresh air as you spend the day at Luthy Botanical Garden and its immaculately crafted grounds. Speaking of drinking things up, have a tasty meal at any of the great restaurants in Peoria. Try some traditional London comfort food with fish and chips at Fox Pub & Café. Or how about some innovative sushi at Sushigawa? Peoria just might surprise you.
