Prince of Peoria is based in a real city located in central Illinois. Cut scenes in the show capture views of downtown Peoria and shots of the skyline from the Illinois River. Peoria is the 7th largest city in Illinois with a population of around 113,000.
The building used for external shots of the bowling alley isn't really a bowling alley, but is actually a real and interesting part of Peoria history.
Originally a meat packing facility, the building had been home to Nailon Plumbing Supply for many years. Recently the building has become the home of a bakery and cafe called Ardor Breads and Provisions.
Fans of Prince of Peoria wishing to visit "Spare Time Bowl" can instead get a coffee and sandwich from the real life building tenants.
