The study is based on FBI crime statistics and crime data from their most recent crime data release in October of 2023. We'll look at the 10 Illinois cities to make the safest cities list, and breakdown the numbers for Illinois' top 20 safest cities overall.
Hot on the heels of a really cool solar eclipse a little over a week ago, this weekend we're going to get a look at what's being called a once-in-a-lifetime event with the arrival of Comet 12P/Pons-Brooks, also known as the Devil Comet.
It's nice to know that we have no shortage of really great restaurants in Illinois, no matter what type of cuisine you're looking for. If your goal is to hit every food joint that receives a "best in the state" rating from foodie websites, then you have to hit this place for what one site called the very best Mexican food in Illinois.
Maybe you're doing really well and aren't interested in adding more to your list of possessions at all, or maybe you're a normal human being who wouldn't mind finding out that there might be some unclaimed wealth with your name on it. I think I fall into the second group.
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.
The coming historical cicada emergence is going to happen, and according to everything I've read, there's very little you can do to stop your yard from being filled with them. There's really nothing you can do to keep them away, including using pesticides, but did you know that by using some everyday household items you can accidently attract even more of them (not that anyone would want to do that)?
I know we're supposed to be planning for an invasion of several billion, if not a trillion, cicadas in the next few weeks, but there are other invaders who are already making themselves known all over the state. These particular invaders seem pretty cocky with Thanksgiving seven long months from now.
Not to give away too much, but the Illinois dairy we're talking about has been around for well over 100 years, and is pretty famous for home delivery and selling their products in glass bottles. Any guesses?
