Brace yourself-Neighborhood Scout just dropped their list of the 100 Most Dangerous Cities in America, and the numbers are grim.

Welcome to 2025, Illinois-where the calendar flips, and so do the rules. A new year means not just resolutions but also a fresh batch of laws to keep life interesting. This year, the state has rolled out hundreds of new rules covering everything from a minimum wage bump to easier ways to cancel that gym membership you forgot you had. But it's not all about making life easier-some new laws are downright head-turners, with certain things now officially banned in the Land of Lincoln.

This might be the single greatest piece of health news ever. If you're over 45 like me, your kids need to pay attention as we are done doing this task for good after the warning I'm about to share with you. Every year, thousands of people get injured and dozens die while doing this. No more soft tissue injuries. No more pulled muscles. No more lower-back strain. No more heart attack triggering. Pay close attention to this warning from the medical experts.

I am so happy this story ended up with the conclusion it had. Leading up to the Green Bay Packers game against the 49ers on November 24 at Lambeau Field, a 14-year-old named Joseph De La Rosa headed to a pregame party at a Wisconsin establishment with some family. In their group was Joseph's uncle, a 49ers fan. Joseph and his brother wanted to take their uncle to a 49ers party before the game, so they headed to a party for 49ers fans that was being hosted by a fan organization called Niner Empire.

America might be all about competition, but Illinoisans have a drive to be the best no matter the situation. From bringing the most delicious dish to a cookout, to winning a fun board game against the fam, to driving on the road, we always feel the need to leave an impression wherever we go. Ever been at a stoplight, waiting for the light to turn green, and the person next to you is revving their engine? You know you've had the urge to race them even if your car can't handle the heat.
