Iowa’s restaurant industry is facing financial pressure, with nearly half operating in the red.

Iowa made the list, and way higher than I ever expected.

There are four banks in Illinois that have reportedly just announced they are closing their doors forever.

You can stop looking between couch cushions for an extra couple of bucks.

Yay another year of expensive stuff!

When you think of real estate that costs an arm and a leg in Illinois, you probably think of the Chicago suburbs.

You'll almost certainly never see dessert served like this anywhere else. What has been ranked as the most expensive restaurant in Illinois will sometimes explode dessert on your table and that's where you eat it from.

Ouch!

I'll say from the start that I know this part of Illinois and I think the term "poor" is subjective and the very few people that live there would not consider themselves that. However, going purely by data, it is the poorest town in Illinois with only 32 people that call it home.

If you assumed that Iowa's richest person had something to do with farming or agriculture, you would have assumed correctly.
