As Joe Dredge pointed out in his post yesterday, the last remaining Sears store in Illinois is closing. Their Schaumberg store, Illinois' last open Sears, is done in November.

Unlike many things you'll read today, I'm not going to even attempt to tell you what to think about this particular story. I know that adherents to the call for everyone to get the vaccine will take this one way, and the vaccine-hesitant will look at it entirely differently.

Rockford's popular Dasher Dash 5K is coming back this year with new experiences to enjoy, and registration is already open.

The B-25 Mitchell WWII Bomber "Berlin Express" will be making a stop, and offering rides, at the Chicago Rockford International Airport this weekend.

I was surprised to learn that there are over 10 million electric vehicles (EVs) currently on the roads across the United States. Illinois governor JB Pritzker has a goal of adding one million EVs to Illinois' highways by 2030.

You're probably well aware that the demand for used cars has skyrocketed in the wake of the pandemic because of the sparse availability of certain new car parts. That demand has opened the door for unscrupulous sellers.

Midway Village Museum is adding a brand new attraction to their annual All Hallows' Eve event.

When you look at headlines like "Rockford’s violent crime, shootings, assaults continue to climb," it really shouldn't come as a surprise that Rockford's position on the Illinois' Safest Cities list is pretty far down.

I know. The headline would leave the average reader with the impression that they might get some cash simply because they bought chicken in Rockford. That would be laughable...if it weren't absolutely true.

The odds of a squirrel being fully black are the same chances of getting struck by lightning.
