The internet needs to get better when it's using adjectives and this is a perfect example. What they've named the loneliest city in Illinois isn't really that lonely. It's decaying so please get it right.
I'll admit that I can be a jaded individual that's hard to impress, but this Illinois mansion is incredible. It's a more than 20,000 square foot estate that has an exotic outdoor pool area and an elaborate train set room.
Things haven't looked good for brick-and-mortar retailers over the last several years, and that doesn't seem to be changing as another files for bankruptcy.
Perhaps it's a good thing I don't read many books anymore because a new one has laid out a chilling scenario that plays out extraordinarily fast. If war breaks out, Missouri would likely be gone withing the first 72 minutes.
If we're being honest with each other, not many saw this one coming. I am a fan of this underrated Illinois place, but even I was shocked to see it named the hottest housing market in America by major publications.
I think I've driven through this Illinois city a few times and no one was ever snobby to me. But, the internet has declared that the same township in the Land of Lincoln that once famously left Kevin 'Home Alone' is indeed where all the snobs live.
I know that wasps were created for a very good reason, but I have yet to figure out what that reason is. That's why I understand my neighbors in Missouri trying to get rid of them every way they know how. There's one new hack on social media that seems to work, but there's a very big problem which means you probably shouldn't try it.
If you have a heart for horses and love the Missouri Ozarks, I found something you'll likely want to see. It's a breathtaking horse ranch that is nestled in one of the most beautiful parts of Missouri.
The downtown area of cities used to be the fastest-growing places. Not so much anymore. That's definitely true of 3 Illinois downtown areas that were just ranked among the fastest shrinking places in America.
I have slept at a rest stop before and I don't recommend it if you don't have to. That one was not in Illinois which is fortunate because the law about whether or not Illinois thinks that is OK is very complicated.
I guessed wrong. It's not Chicago or Rockford. No, the biggest jump in crime in the Land of Lincoln isn't even close to either of the places that normally get mentioned with danger in the state comes up.
The '6 to 1' grocery shopping method takes aim at skyrocketing food prices while maintaining a balanced diet (and allowing for the occasional indulgence).
I'll get this out of the way at the start. None of these 3 small Missouri places is a suburb of a larger city like Saint Louis, Kansas City or Springfield. Yet, suddenly they have zoomed to the top of the worst list in Missouri with the highest reported recent crime data.
It's a more complicated issue than you think. Can you legally sleep overnight at a rest stop? Believe it or not, there are many states where that's illegal. But, what about Missouri? I've done some research and learned exactly what the law says.
I have found a new way to search for the best restaurants and the results are interesting. If you go online looking for the best place to eat out in Saint Louis, Missouri, I bet you'll find a different one than I've come up with. Let's compare notes.
I blame the fact that I am an extreme skeptic on being born and raised in Missouri. That "show me" tendency is real. I got curious about what the 10 most highly-rated restaurants in Kansas City, Missouri might be and found out it was harder to find than I thought.
It's expected to be another volatile weather day for Missouri again today as models and forecasts show hurricane-force winds and tornadoes very well could impact parts of the state today.
It has been and continues to be the home of the worst of the worst. It's one of the most infamous prisons in America and it's located in southern Illinois with a history of violence, death and has been the home of mob bosses and terrorists.
Guy Fieri seems like Missouri a lot. Or, at least he loves Missouri food as he's filmed numerous episodes of his famous TV show at dozens of popular food joints around the state and I have the complete list.
I grew up surrounded by those clumps of daffodils in the woods near my home, their bright yellow blooms signaling the arrival of spring year after year. But it wasn't until recently that I stumbled upon the historical significance behind those cheerful flowers.
