In addition to baseball, Chicago's Wrigley Field has hosted all sorts of things like football, boxing, rodeos, concerts (the first being held in 1922), and now we learn there was also ski-jumping.

A certain Illinois museum features hundreds of historic pieces, and during the holidays, it even offers a 40-minute winter train ride with Santa.

Not one, but two meteor showers that have the potential to be really spectacular are going to be highlighting the skies over Illinois for almost the entire month of December, and we'll get pretty good looks at Venus and Saturn, too.

With a record number of people planning to hit the road over Thanksgiving, you're going to have plenty of company as you travel over the river and through the woods to...well...wherever you're going. Here are the best and worst times to back out of your driveway and get started.

With Halloween arriving tomorrow, costumes have been purchased or made, candy has been gathered, decorations are up, and the trick-or-treaters are ready to hit the streets, However, there are laws and regulations about hours and times that go along with the Halloween festivities---but does Illinois have an age limit for those going door-to-door looking for treats?

If you've been an Illinois resident for any length of time, I'm sure you realize that our state's leaders have never met a tax they didn't like or want to impose upon citizens. That would include a strange bit of logic when it comes to the taxability of Halloween candy.
