Movies

I'm not into fearmongering so I share this with a big emphasis that this is an event that I still find extremely unlikely to happen. But, I share because there's an updated list of what places would be most likely targets if a nuclear confrontation happened and there are Missouri and Illinois locations that are high on the list.

I have come to accept that the age of video rental stores has come and gone. However, that does not eliminate my desire to remain nostalgic about that part of our entertainment past. Thanks to a new video share, you can look back at a video store that has been closed for 20 years that appears frozen in time with all the movies still in it.

Technology may have pushed some of these outdoor cinemas to the brink, but the passion of movie fans has proven greater in some parts of Missouri as I've learned of two more drive-in theaters that have stood the test of time.

There aren't many hanging on, but 2 Missouri drive-in theaters are still open this weekend for one simple reason: they refuse to die (and that's a good thing).

It was the summer of 1992 when one of Missouri's biggest mysteries began. 3 women in Springfield, Missouri vanished and have never been seen since and no one knows why.

It rarely ends well when you decide to become a thief even if you're a Star Wars fan. That decision now has an Illinois man headed to prison thanks to his love of Star Wars and pajamas.

If you've seen season 4 of Stranger Things, you're familiar with the Creel Mansion. What you may not know is it's not only a movie location, but a real place that I've found on Google Street View.

This isn't one of those cases where you're #1 and brag about it. Illinois is ranked as the state with the most nuclear waste in storage and there isn't even a close second.

If you believe there's nothing quite like seeing a movie on the big screen, you probably should go ahead and grab your popcorn as the biggest screen ever is on its way to Illinois.

If you have a hair style that you're proud of, you can no longer be discriminated against because of it thanks to a new law enacted in Illinois.
