safety

Imagine a place with zero violent crime. Sound like a mythical place? It's a reality in a small Illinois town that is officially the safest city in the state for 2024 and began its existence as a stagecoach stop way back in 1834.

If you're planning to view the upcoming total solar eclipse that will reach totality over Missouri, can you safely view it through a welding mask? The answer is yes and no.

I've got good news and I've got bad news for one Missouri city. First of all, the good news is it was just named the safest place in the state for 2024. The bad news? It's a very short drive away from murder.

Four Minnesota and Wisconsin towns made the top 50.

Call this a character flaw (I have many), but I don't appreciate being told what to do. That's why I won't do that here, but I will offer some thoughts on items you probably would be wise to avoid buying from a Missouri Dollar Store.

Do you make a habit of clearing the ice and snow from your home's gas meter? Doing so may save your family's lives!

Brb, going to hide my things in a better spot.

I don't question that this tiny Missouri place is a great place to live. I'm not even gonna argue that it shouldn't be called the 'best place to live in Missouri' like it just was. I just find it funny (wrong word) that it's practically in the armpit of what many call the 'murder capital' of America.

Winter is here and the temperatures are frigid. For those living near a body of water, it means taking extra precautions for yourself, your children, and your pets.

The state of Illinois is doing something that several other states have started. That's the quest to eliminate what they term 'harmful food chemicals' that are featured in many popular snacks. That quest is about to take on an official effort in Illinois.
