Step Inside This Illinois Toy And Collectibles Shop Where Old Lunchboxes And Action Figures Bring Your Childhood Right Back

“May the toys be with you.” That’s the cheerful sign-off one Illinois collectibles shop uses whenever it thanks a customer for stopping by. I love that line, because it tells you exactly what kind of happy, slightly obsessed place this is. Its shelves hold Star Wars figures, Marvel Legends, Transformers, Funko Pops, model kits, and stacks of comics.

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.

Injured Bobcat Rescued and Recovering at DuPage Wildlife Center

Collisions with cars don’t often end well for wildlife, but one lucky bobcat is recovering at DuPage Wildlife Conservation Center after a rescue involving multiple partners. The saga started last week in Oregon, Ill., when a homeowner found a semi-conscious bobcat in her front yard, near a busy highway. She called a wildlife trapper, who brought the cat to Oaken Acres Wildlife Center in Sycamore, where rehabbers quickly realized the cat needed more help than they could provide.
