Illinois

I tend to mentally ignore any store announcements when I'm shopping in one of the zillion Illinois stores I frequent when running family errands. That's actually a very bad idea and this is a great example. If you suddenly hear "code blue!" over the intercom, you're probably in big trouble.

A famous storm chaser has noticed something that's developing in the atmosphere that could lead to a very stormy (and windy) end to February in Missouri if the models he's shared come true.

They are coming. It won't be long now before both Missouri and Illinois are dealing with one of the largest cicada invasions in recent memory and new maps show where they'll be landing.

Some records are meant to be broken, but the record this city in Illinois is about to break is causing a lot of people to be very concerned. Here are the record-breaking details...

This is more than a bit unexpected. If you had to find the hottest housing markets in America are, where would you look? Look no further than Illinois that has 2 of the top 30 housing markets in America and neither is near Chicago either.

I think I started riding Six Flags St. Louis roller coasters before I could walk. That's probably not accurate, but it feels like it's true. My point is that I know roller coasters and I think the new one at Six Flags called "The Bobcat" looks like a winner.

Illinois like every other state has its share of problems. But, it also happens to be the home for one of America's top 25 richest cities for 2024 and it's a great beach town, too.

There's a lot of wheeling and dealing in the retail world already in 2024 and that now includes shoes. Shoe Carnival reportedly just purchased a chain of 28 stores which includes many in Wisconsin and Illinois.

If you need a place to eat on Fridays for the next couple of weeks...WE FOUND IT! Here is the seafood restaurant in Illinois named one of the 5 best in the entire US...

I understand that many people over the past few years have decided that Illinois is not their cup of tea. I get it. However, I am in a state of shock at the state that they leave the Land of Lincoln for the most. In just one year, more than 35,000 Illinoisans decided to depart for the wackiest state in America.
