Abe's Old Hat antiques shop exiting downtown Springfield | Exclusive

SPRINGFIELD, IL - Mike and Trudy Naylor are hanging up Abe's Old Hat, at least the storefront version, in downtown Springfield. The store at 111 N. Sixth St. was noticeably empty, with the glass cabinets that held history books and artwork from George Colin gone. The Springfield couple has had the brick-and-mortar business since 2010 and will continue to do a couple of antique markets a month in Illinois and some shows in Ohio. The foot traffic for the store, just down from the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, wasn't enough to sustain it, Trudy Naylor told The State Journal-Register Oct. 25. "A lot of our profit (from market sales) went to pay rent for the store," she said. "When it's an antique show, people go there because they are looking for what we bring. When you have an antique store, you might be lucky if you get people every day who are looking for antiques." The couple used to rent out another storefront directly to the north primarily selling her folk art. That is now being used as Wild Rose's art gallery. It hosted a "De-colonize Your Mind" art show Oct. 25 with one featuring Day of the

In bid to unseat Budzinski, Wilson calls for tax cuts, deregulating energy suppliers

Republican Jeff Wilson is pitching himself as a no-nonsense alternative to Democratic politicians who have fought with the Trump administration. The former Champaign County board member is running to unseat U.S. Rep. Nikki Budzinski, D-Springfield, in Illinois’ 13th congressional district. His platform centers on affordability, national security and protecting the Constitution. Wilson said he’s running to support the Trump administration’s “America First” agenda, which includes immigration crackdowns, withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accord and investments in domestic coal mining. Wilson also said he supports Medicaid and Affordable Care Act cuts passed in the Trump-backed One Big Beautiful Bill Act last year. He said he wants to permanently eliminate taxes on tips and overtime, extending other tax cuts passed in the omnibus budget bill. The Republican candidate has also said he’s running on a “common sense” platform against DEI programs, LGBTQ+ education in schools and transgender children’s participation in youth sports. “The Democratic Party is going over the cliff at an exponential rate, and I don’t want to see that happen here in Illinois. And I take it the people of central Illinois and the Land of Lincoln — with those values of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness —
