WASHINGTON — Ground was broken several weeks ago on a groundbreaking business along U.S. Business Route 24, one of the city's main streets. A Beck's fuel center and convenience store is being built on a 4.56-acre property. It could open as early as May. The project is on the site of a former restaurant building that was originally a Taco Bell and most recently True Taste of Italy, and a former Shell gas station that became a used car lot after it closed. After resisting for years allowing video gaming in businesses other than bars and restaurants that have a liquor license for on-site cons...

MORTON — Tipsy's is the name of a new business that opened this month in downtown Morton. No, it's not a bar. It's an eclectic bakery, coffee shop and gift shop, with other merchandise tossed in for good measure, located in a homey two-room space. The name Tipsy's is a light-hearted reference to the alcohol-infused coffees, teas and baked goods that are offered in the business at 316 S.

The unpaved path is nothing like the proverbial long and winding road that Bob and Lisa Barry traveled before finally finding a spot for their winery. After having winery proposals rejected by East Peoria and Peoria zoning boards, mainly because of complaints from prospective neighbors, the Barrys purchased 50.6 acres of the Tarvin farm owned by Washington in June 2019. The couple then waited patiently for a few months for rezoning, annexation and a special-use permit to be appr...

The 1,600 uniformed employees of the Columbus Division of Fire will receive no pay raise for their contract year that began last month, but will get across-the-board wage increases of 2.5% and 3.5% effective in November 2021 and 2022, respectively. The new contract also extends the time period that a citizen could file a complaint that could result in discipline from 60 to 90 days after an incident occurred, making it match the police contract language. At a meeting Monday night, the Columbus City Council signed off on the new deal, which is expected to cost the city $20.1 million more in sal...

Dec 11 2020, 9:24AM While here in Hawai’i, if anyone receives a message from me about canned meat, don’t open it. It’s Spam! With many sticking close to home, holiday traditions have renewed importance. Putting up the Christmas tree results in sap on your hands? Well, here’s how you get it off. Shelter in place like a boss! The CFPB is certainly being “a boss” and has issued two final rules to amend the ATR/QM Rule. These rules were largely in line with expectations. The General QM Final Rule amends the General QM definition and is available here. The Se...
