There are a bunch of activities to do in the area this fall, from pumpkin patches, to corn mazes, and football games where the temperature has dropped just enough that hot [...]
The college interns that write for Rolling Stone decided to update the publication's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time for the first time in 17 years. I assume they are college interns, anyway. That's the only excuse I can see for including songs released in the last two years anywhere on this list, including BTS. Now [...]
The holiday seasoned is coming up, and, since a good chunk of us are vaxxed and ready to get our nog on, you might want to book your flight soon. Like, now. The travel app Hopper used an algorithm that looked at travel trends and prices from previous years to determine when the best time [...]
After a year away (coughthankscovidcough), Purple Power Play returns to get the Wildcat nation hyped up for the home opener Saturday against Southern Illinois.

Summer is still hanging on for a few more weeks, but it's never too early to start thinking about the best season of them all. Girl Scout Cookie Season. What did you think we were talking about? The Girls Scouts announced a new cookie flavor will be joining the roster this season, "Adventurefuls!" The [...]

This is actually a nightmare I've had when it comes to backing things into the water. Illinois reporter Jakob Emerson was doing a stand up near Lake Springfield when he happens to look behind him and sees a 4x4 sinking into the lake. Here's the video from his own Twitter feed. https://twitter.com/JakobEmersonTV/status/1420900887954927616?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1420900887954927616%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.whiskeyriff.com%2F2021%2F08%2F03%2Freporter-captures-hilarious-boat-launch-fail%2F Before we go [...]
