Illinois

I would say that this is a good reminder to lock your car doors in Missouri and Illinois, but I'm not sure that would matter much as a new report says incidents in both states are exploding and especially in Illinois.

There is a soft spot in my heart for Diamond Dave restaurants. There used to be one in Quincy, Illinois and another in Keokuk, Iowa. I honestly thought they were completely gone, but low and behold I found one still hanging in there in Iowa. I also found a retro t-shirt, too.

There is a new study that mentions that Illinois is one of the states that can actually "take your gun away".

It appears that parts of Missouri that are desperately in need of moisture will get rain later this week. The only question is how much and will it help the state's dire drought conditions. It looks like there's at least some hope of helpful rain coming.

I want to be clear that I'm not saying this Illinois guy actually recorded a Bigfoot scream. That's why I added the question mark. I do know that not everything is as it seems after some research.

If you've purchased frozen vegetables from a grocery store in Missouri or Illinois recently, time to check the freezer as there is now an urgent recall due to possible listeria contamination.

It's not easy to find a DeLorean. It's even harder to find one with only 977 miles, but that's exactly what explorers found hidden in a Wisconsin barn that will leave you trying to figure out how to get 1.21 gigawatts to power it.

I've been a radio personality for more than 40 years and I know a thing or two about frequency, but apparently I did not know enough. I've learned that there is a place in Illinois you can go to where a horse will help you fix your 'frequency' and I'm not kidding even a little bit.

The more things stay the same, the more they change...or something like that. This principle applies to the weather in both Missouri and Illinois and is proven again as weather forecasters have once again changed their forecast for the region now saying it will be way different than normal for the end of 2023.

I have some good news that sadly borders on the almost unbelievable. There's data that shows that the crime rate in Illinois is not only drastically falling, but actually below the national average. Can this miraculous news really be true? Let's dig for facts.
