The level of urgency/importance of that one feels for travelling to and/or conducting business in Peoria, Illinois.
Dunno why dat Decatur dude makes it such a Peoriaty to run most of his errands at just that one city --- there are lots of much-closer cities and sizable towns located all around his area, and they all contain branches of the same businesses and government-offices that he frequents during his visits to Peoria.
