Chicago Boomers Are Moving To This Midwestern State With Vibrant Cities And Iconic Craft Brews

Retirement doesn't necessarily have to mean packing up for the Sun Belt. For some baby boomers, the next chapter might be just across the state line — somewhere they can enjoy a change of pace without straying too far from the people and places they know. That's apparently the approach of many Chicago boomers, according to a U-Haul migration study: Wisconsin was the top net-gain state for baby boomers moving out of Chicago in mid-2026. For boomers looking to downsize, slow down, or find a city that's a little more affordable, Wisconsin has some options. It has thousands of lakes and miles of scenic trails, alongside cities like Madison and Eau Claire, where award-winning breweries, museums, and senior centers can keep daily life exciting.

Hundreds of people showed up to push Chicago’s Bean 7 inches to the left after a viral post claimed a man was trapped inside

Hundreds of people gathered at Millennium Park to attempt to push the famous Cloud Gate sculpture seven inches to the left, as People reports. This massive crowd showed up after an anonymous flyer appeared on streets throughout the city, calling for the first push of the artwork at 12:47 PM. The flyer provided no explanation for the request, simply stating, “We need to move the bean seven inches to the left.” However, one invite mentioned that “there is a man trapped inside the bean” and the push would help them “be able to access that door and give the man inside the bean resources.” The sculpture, which locals call The Bean, is a heavy piece of art. It reportedly weighs 110 tons, so moving it by hand is impossible. Footage from the scene shows a large group of people working together to push the structure in the same direction. Despite the collective effort, the artwork remained firmly in place. It was designed by artist Anish Kapoor and has been a permanent fixture in the park since its unveiling in 2006. The sculpture is actually anchored to the ground Even though the task was doomed from the start, the atmosphere was

“Surprised”: Tom Izzo Makes His Opinion Around Jon Scheyer’s Duke Absolutely Clear Following Michigan State’s Win

Duke walked into Chicago on Tuesday night looking like one of the toughest teams in the country. The Blue Devils were ranked No. 2; they had opened the season with two blowout wins, and they came with one of the deepest rosters in college basketball. Michigan State, ranked No. 5, had other plans. They led from start to finish and won 79-73. Afterward, in an interview, Tom Izzo said something that sounded more like praise for Duke than a victory speech. “I am a little surprised, ’cause I think they’re a really, really good team, and I feel bad saying that because then it looks like, ‘oh, John d...
