It really shouldn't come as a surprise that America has many plans in the event that a worst-case scenario nuclear attack happens, but there is one that has just come to light that shows a plan exists where officials could be hurried to a secret bunker that is located somewhere under Illinois and I don't think it's Chicago.
If you happen to possess nearly a million dollars, that will buy you a lot. But, it won't buy you nearly as much if you're shopping for a place to live in Chicago's Gold Coast historic district. New video and photos show you what that kind of money will get you now.
Hey, where's everyone going so fast? That must be what the state of Illinois must be thinking as the exodus of citizens continues. I just found new data that shows 4 Illinois cities had a total of more than 100,000 people leave in just 3 short years.
There are a LOT of things you could highlight in a tourism video to promote Illinois and make people want to come to visit the Land of Lincoln. So why is the state spending money promoting this...?
One time I tried to draw a pirate in the back of a magazine to see if I qualified for art school. Breaking news, I didn't make the cut. Many do, however, and attend a university in Illinois that's both the most expensive and artsy. Oh, and it's technically not-for-profit also.
I've never had a burger that I would describe as 'metal' and perhaps that's why I'm missing out. One epic Illinois burger was just ranked among the 10 best burgers in America and it really does rock - almost literally. TV food celebrity Guy Fieri thinks so, too.
Businesses come and go all the time, but the number of restaurants in particular in Illinois that have already closed this year are staggering. The current count that I can find confirms that at least 20 have put "We are Closed" signs on their doors in 2024 with no plans to reopen.
At times there is a chocolate smell that wafts downtown from The Fulton River District. That smell's going away because Blommer Chocolate is closing its factory.
