The ceiling mural in Peoria's city hall is amazing. Let's go Peoria.
Peoria doesn't have to rely on perfect weather for the city hall to look good. It does it all by itself.

Our kids had graduation pictures taken at Pasadena City Hall. So many friends made comment about how beautiful the location was.
Pasadena's city hall and civic center are very beautiful but are jeopardized by the council's illegal give-away of parkland and deal with a private developer to build a six-story hotel near city hall steps.
Pasadena City hall is so beautiful, and surrounded by other lovely buildings. It is a pleasure to walk around there!
Pasadena City Hall is so beautiful that not a weekend goes by without a wedding party there using that beautiful backdrop for their photos.
Vive Pasadena !!
Pasadena by far exceeds the beauty and history of ANY city hall that may compete against it. While the iconic structure has been used for many TV and film locations because of it's beauty, it is the essence of the city's most important feature which is it's amazing community.
Peoria, so beautiful ????So if you disagree I bet you haven't been to Peoria.
Whenever I see Pasadena City Hall, at day or at night, I stop to take a long look. The building is so beautiful, both from afar and very intricate upon a closer look. It is also placed in such a way that it is in a corridor of other city buildings - the library and the convention center, and that views from streets leading to it allow for nice framing. Seeing it makes me smile :)
Lets GO Pasadena, Ca
Historic Pasadena's exquisite landmarks have provided the background for so many movies and commercials! How proud we are of the elegant and often unique architecture of our homes, bridges, hotels, Caltech grounds, and the truly majestic CITY HALL. The last two times I visited City Hall, I witnessed a very excited tour group -- exclaiming over the lush and peaceful grounds and the lovely flowers -- and a bridal photographic shoot, which was delightful to watch! This landmark is awe-inspiring, and I always leave with a smile on my face and a sense of serenity that positively affects the remainder of my day! Hooray for our City of Roses!
Love Pasadena City Hall. Prettiest in the nation, without question.
Pasadena City Hall is absolutely stunning! Do a search and you'll see how many couples have their wedding pictures taken there. It truly is breath taking!

The Pasadena City Hall is the magnificent jewel at the center of the City's Civic Center.

What does Peoria have vs Pasadena? This isn't a city contest. It's a city hall contest. But since some folks seem to want to make it that way, consider this:

Peoria isn't some tiny hick town. It also isn't a suburb of a much larger city, as is Pasadena. Yes, you have the Rose Parade, but Peoria is the home of the longest running Santa Claus parade in the country. It also has the oldest high school west of Pennsylvania that is still open. The National Center for Agricultural Utilization Research (NCAUR) is in Peoria and developed the first industrialized production techniques for penicillin. We are home to Bradley University, the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria and Illinois Central College. There are 20 Peoria listings on the National Register of Historic Places, including our city hall.
Our city hall was designed by Reeves and Baillee, in 1897, at a cost of $271,500. It was dedicated in January, 1899, and is still in use as the city hall. The Peoria Civic Center was built around it in 1982.
Pasadena city hall is a magnificent example of remarkable architecture with class and style.
Pasadena all the way!!! How can it NOT win the Leslie B. Knope award when "Parks and Rec" is actually filmed at Pasadena City Hall!
I've been to both cities. I chose to live in Pasadena.
Not only is the city hall in Pasadena, California a beautiful example of Mediterranean Beaux Arts architecture, but it also has the distinction of being LEED certified!
It serves as one of the architectural crown jewels in a city that prides itself on being socially progressive, ecologically sensitive and dedicated to maintaining cultural diversity and a sense of community .
Pasadena's City Hall is awe inspiring. The kind of architecture that just does not exist at that level anymore. Move out of the way Peoria, Pasadena's coming for you!
The view from that Pasadena City Hall Tower, tho! Oh My Word! Looking in at it, the whole City Hall complex is a calming, soothing, smile generator.
Pasadena City Hall is the most beautiful and inspired City Hall. It is my simple pleasure to drive by it whenever I can, especially at night when it is all lit up. My husband and I went there on our first date! Let's go, Pasadena!!
It's awfully strange that in the last round, Pasadena only got 599 total votes to beat Mosier, OR, who got 226. Why the sudden interest?
We love our Pasadena City Hall. It is beautiful in daylight as well as at night. The inner courtyard is lovely and everyone is invited to enter and to stroll around and enjoy the garden and fountain. So it is not only the center of our city government but a destination as well.
omg just kidding, duke it out, guys!
Pasadena Native and hands down our city hall is the most beautiful! Countless weddings, quinceneras, prOM photos, engagement photos, films, and television series were filmed at City Hall. Leslie Knope wouldn't have it any other way!
Hello City of Roses! XOXOXOX
Whoa, whoa, whoa ... let's all just take a deep breath okay? I live in Pasadena and am definitely voting for the home team, but you can't say Peoria has nothing to offer! Peoria is America! I remember first learning the phrase "If it plays in Peoria." And if it's good enough for Groucho. . .
Pasadena City Hall is beautiful and charming! I am a native Pasadenan and so proud!!
Pasadena, CA is home to several tourist attractions; the Rose Bowl and January 1st, Rose Bowl football game, the annual Rose Parade, the Wrigley mansion, many architectural significant private residences, our

Pasadena City Hall is the crowning jewel of our city. It's a classic building and is used in many movies, wedding backdrops, and City functions. It's not uncommon to see a wedding party gathered in the courtyard or hallways for photos. You'll find photos of the building in many of our local businesses, too, along with other vintage phones of parade floats and some of the many historic homes.
Peoria City Hall while not in movies is a great example of what a proud middle class American town can build and maintain.
Pasadena City Hall aka the City Hall of Parks & Recreation fame! A unbelievably wonderful city hall for a small city.
I've lived in Pasadena since 1985 both as a renter and home owner and have no reason to live anywhere else.
What the picture doesn't show: The fountain in the center and open-air corridors. It's likely been in more movies and TV shows than Peoria which makes Pasadena a real star.
