It has often been said, that people from the Midwest are the friendliest and nicest people in the U.S., here's the survey to prove it.

The U.S. Census Bureau released some population estimates a couple of weeks back that show Illinois is continuing to lose population at a record-setting rate.

Are long-range weather predictions for the Winter of 2022 in Rockford still pointing to cold temps and a whole lot of snowfall?

Mother Nature sure gave the Midwest its share of memorable, (and scary), weather moments in 2021.

There just aren't enough words to describe the death and devastation that we've seen since that swarm of tornadoes tore through Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee.
