Meet the man behind the popular 'Grazing Guse' account in Springfield

SPRINGFIELD, IL – If you're on a social media app, you may have seen the "Grazing Guse" posting about the food scene in central Illinois and in Springfield. The popular social media account has amassed close to 200,000 followers across Facebook , TikTok , Instagram and YouTube with over 1.8 million likes alone on TikToK. If you have never heard of the "Grazing Guse," you may have still seen the impact from the videos. The popular social media account's videos on The Lumpia House and Mel-O-Cream have both garnered close to or over one million views online. The Guse's video on the Twisted Pasta food truck during the Illinois State Fair helped lead to lines curve around Main Street. More: Two new food vendors share top prize at Illinois State Fair The man behind the account is Seth Ragusa, whose last name often led to him being called "Guse" as a kid and inspired the name of the account. The concept of the videos is a simple one: Ragusa samples food and then provides a rating for the food, something he didn't think was happening enough in Springfield. “Everybody else I ever saw videos (trying food) was Chicago, Chicago, Chicago,”

Tough decision looms regarding old Knox County Courthouse | Opinion

The Knox County Board will be deciding the fate of our 1887 Courthouse by the end of this year. I have noted that the local residents of Knox County have frequently opined about the demolition of older buildings like homes, a fire station and that great Burlington Route Depot on Seminary Street. And now potentially, the old Knox County Courthouse. I certainly can agree that the Depot should have never been torn down – it would have made a great National RR Hall of fame. However, from my standpoint, I have frequently stated: how do you pay to keep all these historical buildings viable? I have an emotional connection to the old courthouse. I had a much larger emotional connection to the Seminary St. Burlington Route Depot. As of this writing, I know that the County Board will make a decision as to the fate of the courthouse. More: Many Paths: Spending $2M on Standish Park isn't enough | Opinion The citizens need to understand the financial impact of that decision. Most won’t.
