Relationship Court: I need my house back!
We don’t think you can get through this video without crying
An 11-year-old in Chicago lost his best friend due to a move a few years ago, then the two remained separated due to COVID-19 concerns. On Friday, they reunited.
We ARE crying and you should be too.
When “Speak now or forever hold your peace” goes wrong
Something tells me she didn’t actually mean to do that…
Watch out Chicago Egg Thrower, we WILL find you!
The Chicago Egg Hunters collective is ready to find you egg thrower! It’s a Facebook group of over 700 people trying to figure out who is doing this annoying and juvenile crime. Oddly enough, one podcast pointed out that at each egging site, there is also specific graffiti. Weird! Hopefully this case gets solved quickly, I already get pooped on by birds enough as it is, I don’t need to worry raw egg too.
Benches clear in the Sox vs Tigers game
He’s definitely one player I wouldn’t want to get in a fight with. Good thing the ENTIRE team had his back.
Ladies, the surefire way to tell if your man REALLY loves you
Now, that’s romance right ladies? At least he’s got an accent so he makes it sound sweeter.
A Mating Crisis?
An NYU professor says that with fewer men going to college, that could potentially create a “mating crisis” with too many men becoming broke and alone. Ouch. The problem is, many men have a lot of options instead of more school, where they can earn six figures right away or close to that. As of right now, about 60% of women are going to college, where as men make up %40, according to the Wall Street Journal, and that number is shrinking- quickly. In 1970, it was opposite. Men are also much more likely to drop out, so that percentage is generous. What does it all mean? Well, women might have to be ok not being the only girlfriend, OR we might be on the verge of a mating crisis.

Here are the most affordable places in IL
Illinois is home to more than 12 million people. As a midwestern state, one might think it’s pretty affordable, but we all know that’s not the case. Here are the ten best places to live in this state where you can get the best bang for your buck!
- Village of Chatham
- City of Washington
- Village of Morton
- City of Springfield
- City of East Peoria
- City of Quincy
- City of Kewanee
- City of Pontiac
- City of Pekin
- City of Moline
And here are the most expensive burbs- Hinsdale, Glen Ellyn, Westmont, Elmhurst, and finally, the least affordable, Downers Grove, which scored poorly in nearly all categories, which were food costs, utility costs, median home price, unemployment rank, and adjusted median income.

Leash? Check. Bags? Check. Bear mace? Check, unfortunately.
Must watch! Best dog dad ever builds a slide for his pups!
This is officially the cutest thing you’ll see all day. I didn’t know dogs liked slides either. Now watch it again, and again, and again…
Eminem is opening a restaurant in Detroit, and it’s called ‘Mom’s Spaghetti’
I want this pasta in my belly now! Too bad it’s only in Detroit- for now. His new pasta place opens on the 29th and features all of your favorite pasta dishes at an affordable price. The name, obviously, come from his 2002 smash hit “Lose Yourself.” “His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy /There’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti.” The spaghetti Em is serving up will be all fresh though. MANGIA!

A crypto-buying hamster is outperforming the S&P 500 stock index
A hamster is randomly buying cryptocurrency — and is doing better than the most well-known index on the stock market.
Mr. Goxx — a livestreamed, social media savvy rodent — has been randomly buying and selling crypto since June, using a wheel to select the currency and one of two “decision tunnels” to determine whether or not he buys or sells. According to Business Insider, he has been outperforming the S&P 500 with a 24% return on investment. NPR claims that he’s even doing better investing than Warren Buffett.
Click on his livestream to see if he is at work or not. And remember, this is not professional investment advice. — [eric]
