If Bill Murray Says This Is the Best Pizza in Illinois, We’re Listening

4 days ago | 967theeagle.net | Sweet Lenny

There are many reasons to love Bill Murray if you are an Illinoisan. He's been in some iconic flicks, loves the Cubs and Bears, and is a true blue Chicago guy at heart. Murray even has a pizza place he loves above all the others that just so happens to be located in the Land of Lincoln. Just last week, while promoting his new flick The Friend, he started talking about pizza with the interviewer and dropped this nugget:You know, there's a good pizza place. Have you ever heard of Robert's Pizza?
The Most Fun Baseball Game You’ll Ever See Is Coming to Chicago

1 week ago | 967theeagle.net | Sweet Lenny

If the thought of attending a baseball game ranks right above watching paint dry, you are not alone. Some folks think it is the most absolutely boring sport on the planet. This might change your mind if you agree with everything I just said. Might I interest in you in a Savannah Bananas game? To me, they are the baseball equivalent of the Harlem Globetrotters. Something that many longtime baseball fans thought the sport needed: fun.
These Are Illinois' Best Steakhouses, Apparently

1 week ago | my1053wjlt.com | Sweet Lenny

When it comes to great steak joints in Illinois, most people recommend Morton's or Gibson's as two must-visits. Having been to both, it's easy to see why they are at the top of most lists regarding the best steakhouses in America. I rarely see a list of the best steakhouses in America, as I did recently on 24/7 Tempo, skipping both of them and, even more strangely, naming two other Illinois restaurants instead.
Spotted in Rockford: This DIY Truck Trailer Is Equal Parts Genius and Chaos

2 weeks ago | kfilradio.com | Sweet Lenny

If there was a feature called "Only in Rockford," do you think this would be highlighted? This is some serious ingenuity at its absolute finest. When you need a trailer, you just build one out of another truck. I saw this one on Reddit, shared by someone who spotted this beauty somewhere in town. It appears the owner of this Frankenstein is giving their old pickup truck a second life as a trailer.
Famous TikToker Faces Backlash-Because She’s from Naperville

2 weeks ago | kfilradio.com | Steve Shannon |Sweet Lenny

Let's talk about Chloe Forero—a social media personality who's grown her TikTok following to over 2.7M. We all know that when you go viral or grow a massive following online, you're bound to get hate from internet trolls. It happens, it's inevitable. For Chloe, she's funny and relatable, so of course people aren't going to like that she's likeable.
Illinois Tollway Caves; Will Send I-PASS Stickers in the Mail

1 month ago | 1520theticket.com | Sweet Lenny

I've never felt quite so vindicated in my life. It's also another excellent example of "procrastination pays off."That's because Illinois Tollway has just announced it will automatically send new I-PASS stickers to customers using the old plastic transponders. The tollway folks believe the transponders are nearing the end of their battery life and are trying their best to get ahead of it. I know for a fact that they held special events at Driver's License facilities to try and get the ball rolling.
Chicago’s Malört Is Now a Hard Candy and It’s Already Sold Out

1 month ago | kfilradio.com | Sweet Lenny

In Chicago, trying Malört is a rite of passage. You might not want to drink it, but you're expected to choke at least some of it down. For some people, you're not really in the club until you take a shot. Friends bond over it. Lifelong Chicagoans wear that gross taste like it's a badge of honor. Malört isn't just a drink; it's a test of wills.
This Illinois Mansion From 'Empire' Just Sold at a Huge Loss

Do you remember the TV show Empire? While the show has long since ended, the mansion that was heavily featured in it remains. The owner might have just wanted too much for it. That's because the mansion that sits in the Barrington Hills suburb of Chicago has just sold, albeit at a significantly reduced price, initially listed in 2013 for a whopping $ 15.9 million.
11 Illinois Joints Among America's Top Spots for Mother's Day Brunch

1 month ago | kfilradio.com | Sweet Lenny

Mother's Day is right around the corner and so is brunch. Is it just me, or is Mother's Day and even a bit of Easter considered prime time for brunch? It's funny because I wouldn't mind a brunch in the fall or even winter, but springtime is when it really becomes a thing. I guess we're in luck too because some of the finest brunch spots in America just so happen to be in Illinois.
White Sox Fans Named Drunkest in Baseball, According to New Report

2 months ago | 967theeagle.net | Sweet Lenny

The 2024 Chicago White Sox had one of the worst records in Major League Baseball history, and now we know how the team's fans coped: booze, lots and lots of booze. They are the drunkest fans in baseball. Doyle Media compiled a list of fans who drink the most likely based on gameday data or surveys and found White Sox fans are in first place. The Phillies drink the least out of any fan base in baseball. byu/Murky-Ad-1711 inphilliesThat's the only thing the Sox will be in first place this season, too.
