Another week, another restaurant performed poorly on its annual health inspection. Little is often done to these restaurants that do not score well on the once-a-year visit from the health inspector. Whether the business receives a poor grade or fails entirely, the restaurant will almost always remain open (it takes multiple failures stacked on top of each other for a food license to be pulled from an establishment). And while that is the case, it is important for the general public to know of the poorly performing restaurants, so they can make their own educational decisions on whether to return to the restaurant or not. This includes one metro Phoenix restaurant that scored a D on its most recent inspection.

Many Chicagoans falling victim to new wave of crime known as 'bank jackings'. In major cities like Chicago, criminals armed with guns are compelling individuals to unlock their phones, gaining access to banking apps such as Zelle, Venmo, and Cash App. This digital convenience has become a catalyst for a unique form of robbery, where assailants, often masked, force victims to surrender their passcodes or use facial recognition technology. Once inside, these robbers swiftly drain bank accounts, often netting more than $1,000 – a substantial haul compared to traditional wallet theft.
