No injuries reported after car crashes into building in Springfield

SPRINGFIELD, IL – A beauty supply store on Springfield's east side was hit by a car on the morning of Nov. 13. The car drove into Fashion Statement at 2500 South Grand Ave. E. around 11 a.m., Springfield Police Lt. Jenkins told The State Journal-Register. The driver was having a medical episode and no arrests were made. There were no other injuries, said the business owner, who identified herself as Gee. She and a customer heard a loud noise, saw the wall or shelf moving, and ran to another room in the shop, Gee said. The business is closed as of Friday afternoon, though some exceptions were being made for regulars who were stopping by to ask what happened.

People Bring Their Own Jars To Stock Up At This Illinois Bulk Food Store

Half of this little store is candy. The other half holds spices, flours, nuts, teas, and coffee, and you can scoop all of it into jars you carried from home. That detail alone made me want to know more. Shoppers bring clean containers, the staff weighs them, and you pay only for what goes inside.
