Mother's Day is just around the corner and if you want to do something really special for your mom you should take her to this city in the land of Lincoln, here is what the experts had to say...
You can't see this, but I'm rolling my eyes and haven't stopped since I first learned what the internet thinks is Missouri's loneliest place. It is beyond ridiculous and I can prove it with personal experience and some science, too.
I've never heard of or had bubble tea, but it's all the rage apparently. The brand that was just named the fastest-growing in Illinois is in the process of perfecting bubble tea and it's helped them expand in the Land of Lincoln quickly.
It's impossible to be perfect (or so I'm told). But 13 Missouri hospitals just learned they have received a near perfect 'A' grade when it comes to patient safety.
I did so poorly in school that I needed someone to explain to me exactly what it means to get an 'A' grade. That's exactly what's just happened for 22 Illinois hospitals who just received the highest grade possible when it comes to how they provide safety for their patients.
My eyes did a double-take when I saw this as I thought there was no way it could be accurate, but I've learned it is. A new ranking claims the tax burden in Illinois has even surpassed that of California. The numbers don't lie.
My family and I try to go to a zoo every year. Whether it's in Missouri or Illinois, but in figuring out which one to visit this summer I found one Illinois zoo that has more than just animals...it also has ghosts.
I am a fan of technology and admit that movie streaming is convenient. However, I do miss the excitement of new release days back when video rental stores flourished and Illinois apparently feels that way too as there are now 6 free video rental boxes around the Land of Lincoln.
This has been happening practically in my backyard for decades and I had no idea the massive firepower being manufactured in Illinois and loaded into US Army weapons. Few states can match Illinois' output when it comes to supplying the military.
As I recall from my educational years, 'D' is a passing grade, but just barely. That's the grade that 8 Illinois hospitals just received as they were ranked for patient safety.
When it comes to hospital safety, you definitely want a passing grade. For 2 Missouri hospitals, they received 'D' ratings in a new ranking of all the health facilities in the state.
