Driving on Broadway in Quincy during prime hours makes me want to curl up in a blanket. People are horrible and a new survey out seems to agree with me.

Phones used to be attached to walls with cords. Movies used to need to be rewound and returned to a rental store. The common hangout place used to be malls, but that era has now passed, too. There's a video showing one final walk through a Missouri mall that was demolished 14 years ago.

Many people consider "The Exorcist" the scariest movie of all time. While the creator admits that he changed some of the details, but the movie was truly based on real events that happened in St. Louis, Missouri in 1949 that are much more terrifying than the movie it inspired.

There is a soft spot in my heart for Diamond Dave restaurants. There used to be one in Quincy, Illinois and another in Keokuk, Iowa. I honestly thought they were completely gone, but low and behold I found one still hanging in there in Iowa. I also found a retro t-shirt, too.

The holidays are coming and if it's your turn to host the Thanksgiving or Christmas Dinner you might want to think about putting those extra guests up in an Airbnb. Luckily for you, there are some spectacular Airbnb's in Quincy that are perfect for those holiday out-of-towners.

By any and every measure, this is a monster deer. Terry Drury is a name you likely know if you're a hunter and he just took down a 216-inch buck and there's video to prove the achievement.

There is a new study that mentions that Illinois is one of the states that can actually "take your gun away".

It appears that parts of Missouri that are desperately in need of moisture will get rain later this week. The only question is how much and will it help the state's dire drought conditions. It looks like there's at least some hope of helpful rain coming.

If you've heard the phrase "what goes around, comes around" then you'll understand the irony of this. A convicted robber in Missouri went online with his loot and then promptly got robbed himself.
