"I wanna be your kingpin, Living in Pekin, I wanna be your bigwig, Living in Pekin" (-- Wilco, "Kingpin")
Not to be confused with the city in China, Pekin, Illinois has a small-town feel yet offers pretty much everything you need to live well. It is popular with families and people who like the rural ambiance. Just don’t expect a whole lot of action here, or even in neighboring Peoria. For that, you’ll need to make the two-hour trek to Chicago or St. Louis.
