96.7 The Eagle Rockford's Home for Classic Rock

There are lots of different types of food that, understandably, are gross, disgusting, or just really unappealing for many people.

There will be several days in the upcoming week that you'll notice flags in Illinois have been lowered, yet they remain at full staff just across the state border in Wisconsin.

If you think art isn't your thing, then I highly recommend checking out this truly unique event in Illinois that serves pancakes and booze during the show.

Especially in Rockford, I see people doing this all the time and wanna pull my hair out.

The numbers are quite shocking, why has there been such a giant increase in tourism to the Land of Lincoln, and where are these people visiting from? Here are the details...

Wait, what? I thought that if you were going to put together a piece about the most charming, beautiful, romantic, scenic, historic, welcoming, or interesting town in Illinois you had to write about Galena. Don't get me wrong, I love visiting Galena, but they're always being named number-one for something...but not in this category.

For as long as I can remember, it has simply been "The Museum of Science and Industry," but now that name is getting a change thanks to a significant donation from a guy who used to be the richest man in the state of Illinois.

The next time you need to stop by your local U.S. Bank branch, be aware it might not be there.
