It's amazing what big trouble one innocent-looking bear can get into. There's a tiny Wisconsin town that is being terrorized by this adventurous apex predator and the community is being advised to leave the bear alone.
It's quite a great feeling to get an 'A' (or so I've been told). That's what happened for all of the Illinois school districts that were just named the best in the Land of Lincoln for 2024 by a national site.
If you want to go to the largest waterpark in America, you don't need to travel far. That honor goes to Noah's Ark Waterpark in Wisconsin and you can get a virtual tour through pictures and videos.
Please make this stop now. Can I open my eyes yet? There's new video showing a bark scorpion hanging out with a couple of snakes in the Missouri Glades and I have all the nightmare fuel I need for the next few years.
The number of brick and mortar businesses going under seems to be snowballing as a recent bankruptcy filing reveals at least 2 Wisconsin clothing stores will be closing.
One of the benefits of living in Missouri is the ability to not have to walk far before you see trees. Sometimes you'll see cryptic markings on the trunk of a tree that means something. If you happen upon a tree that has black paint, that's a sure sign that someone's in trouble.
I try very hard to not be an alarmist, but current reality means you really need to have an emergency plan in your head of what you'd do if everyone's worst-case scenario happens. There are several things that you could see happen in Illinois that might give you an early warning that a nuclear attack is imminent.
Several people who claim to be current or former McDonald's employees have recently shared the restaurant chain has "hidden" cameras in its drive-thru lanes.
Considering the fact that I once ran over a garden hose with a lawn mower and ruined both in my Missouri yard, perhaps I'm not a great person to be teaching others what they should or shouldn't leave in a backyard. However, people much smarter than me have shared some pro advice that I'll happily pass along on the do's and don'ts of what stays outside.
Sometimes you learn things then later wish you hadn't. This is one of those for me, but it's important to get the issue out in the open so hopefully it can be dealt with and we find a way to stop it from happening in the future. Illinois has a shameful surge of rape cases that make it one of the primary problem places in America.
It's not exactly news that it's been a challenging year for brick and mortar retail so far in 2024, but another store is about to be closed in the next week and a half. Walmart is closing yet another store location and it will be happening soon.
