11 Peoria, Illinois Restaurants That Remain Crowded Without Paying A Dime On Advertising
A pizza joint that first opened in 1926 still closes its doors every Monday and Tuesday, and the crowds keep coming anyway. I love that kind of quiet confidence. In one river city in central Illinois, that same stubborn streak shows up all over the dinner map. One steakhouse hands you raw steaks to grill yourself, and a barbecue joint smokes its meat inside an old rail depot.

Greg Tribbett Was Born in Peoria on November 7, 1968
Greg Tribbett was born in Peoria, Illinois, on November 7, 1968. By the time Mudvayne made The New Game in 2008, he had a pretty good idea what listeners thought of him. “I know some people think that I can’t play solos, only rhythms!” he told Guitar World. He’d asked his bandmates about putting more leads on the record. On “Do What You Do,” he stepped on a wah for his solo. It was the only effects pedal he used on the album.

East Peoria, Canton respond to hot-button issue for IHSA football conference
High school football conference alignment in the Peoria area has long been a hot-button issue. A recent Journal Star letter to the editor from Bradley professor Bill Bailey regarding the disparity between the large and small schools of the Mid-Illini Conference has added fuel to that fire, sparking online debate and reigniting discussion about scrapping conferences for district-based scheduling. "But as great as high school football can be," Bailey writes, "the Mid-Illini football conference is a travesty. It has an open secret." The East Peoria resident then cites an eye-opening statistic — the M-I's three smallest schools (Limestone, Canton and East Peoria) have posted an 0-75 record against the league's five biggest (Dunlap, Metamora, Morton, Pekin and Washington) over the last five seasons. He goes on to cite a 40-point differential in those half-decade of meetings. Canton has a second-year head coach in Nick McCormick. He guided the Little Giants to three victories over the last two seasons including a pair of victories in 2026. "As the head football coach at Canton, I accepted this position understanding the challenges that come with competing as the smallest school in the Mid-Illini Conference," said McCormick, in a statement to the Journal Star
