Drivers Cross State Lines for Old-School Sunday-Supper Fried Chicken at a Gas Station in Gurnee, Illinois

Some of the best meals hide in places you would normally drive right past. I pulled off a busy highway in northern Illinois expecting a quick snack and a tank of gas, and instead found fried chicken that tasted like a family Sunday supper. The crunch, the steam, the warm...

Palatine Retires Rand Road TIF, Freeing Up $5 Million for Schools, Village

Arlington Toyota — Reported Business Tied To Corridor Redevelopment. Palatine council members voted to dissolve the Rand Road Corridor Tax Increment Financing District, a move that will redirect more than $5 million in property taxes to the levies of local taxing bodies once the district winds down at the end of 2026. The district helped reshape a stretch of Rand Road into a retail corridor anchored by Walmart, Target and Arlington Toyota, and its retirement closes out more than two decades of village-led redevelopment along that strip.

This Unassuming Illinois Spot Piles Pizzas High With Toppings And Serves Wings Worth Licking Your Fingers For

Sixteen first-place wins at Chicago’s WingFest is a lot of hardware for one modest neighborhood grill. Add four Best of Fest awards, and that shelf starts looking crowded. The place doesn’t stop at wings, either. Homemade tavern-style thin crust pizza comes out of the same kitchen, along with garlic buffalo wings that seem to have their own fan club.

Investigation finds evidence of racist, homophobic slurs at Illinois rivalry football game

The allegations of homophobic and racial slurs during a rivalry football game between New Trier (Winnetka, IL) and Evanston Township (IL) on Oct. 16 at Northwestern's brand-new $862 million stadium have been supported by evidence. New Trier Superintendent Dr. Peter W. Tragos said in a statement on Monday, Nov. 9 , that a joint investigation between the two schools found evidence supporting the alleged hateful slurs New Trier students directed at Evanston band members. "Since the game, we have conducted more than 40 interviews with students and staff," Tragos said in the statement. "We have also followed up on reports submitted through TrevTips and email, reviewed available videos, photographs, and social media material, and conducted additional interviews as new information emerged. This work has continued in collaboration with Evanston Township High School. "I want to make clear that the investigation supports accounts of hateful language and actions directed toward the Evanston marching band from individuals in the New Trier student section. We take these accounts seriously and recognize the hurt this incident has caused." Evanston Director of Communications Reine Hanna confirmed to USA TODAY Sports that Evanston worked with New Trier to investigate the claims. "We have been working closely

Michael Reese Site Developers Make $10 Billion Pitch For Bears Stadium

The Sun-Times reports that developers have made a $10 billion (with a B!) pitch with a plan to make the former Michael Reese Hospital site the next home of the Bears. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard the former Michael Reese Hospital site floated as an option. Back in 2024, it joined a long list of options that have been presented to the team in its search for a future home. The Bears have since dismissed it as an option, citing safety concerns about it being built over an active rail line and the lot size being too small for what the team was hoping to build. Still, there are folks who want to take one last stab at it. And frankly, I admire their gumption. More from the Sun-Times story , which includes an anecdote about a sweetener that Capri Investment Group could toss in that certainly grabbed my attention: To further lure the Bears, Capri and its investment partners said they were willing to purchase the team’s Arlington Heights property it’s “the key impediment to the team staying Downtown and fairly considering Bronzeville,” Primo said. “There should be absolutely no reasons why the Bears and the NFL
