Not good news on the business front for convenience chain 7-Eleven. In an earnings call, it was revealed that they will be closing 444 stores forever. The question is how many locations in Illinois will be affected.

What used to be a vital St. Louis mall where the St. Louis Blues used to practice is completely dead now.

You might be surprised how many high-paying jobs Missouri is trying to fill right now and some can be done from home.

It was one of the biggest architectural dreams in Missouri that was never realized. The Indian Ridge Mansions are gone now, but there are still many that don't understand exactly how they came about and why there were trashed. The history is interesting and there are still big questions and some potential big news about what's to come.

I keep hoping that somehow we'll see a turn for the better for brick and mortar retail stores. Unfortunately, that rebound has yet to happen for stores like Best Buy who has already closed 24 stores including at least 1 in Missouri and reports say that up to 15 more will follow.

Do you daydream about being a millionaire? Would you like to see the reality of what your paycheck would look like if that were real? There's an online tool that will show you what a million dollar paycheck would look like in Missouri after the taxman gets done with it.

Well, this is interesting. It appears that one of the largest franchise operators in America with a Missouri location has just purchased 83 Wendy's restaurants. Does this mean a comeback of many of those closed Missouri places?

It's not exactly news that this year has been one of the most challenging for food chains. That sad trend continues as an Italian food chain with locations in both Missouri and Illinois has declared bankruptcy.

This is one of the reasons why I despise auto-renewing anything. What happens if something changes that I don't like and I forget it's automatically gonna charge me? That's why you need to be aware that there are 4 big changes that will affect all 9 Missouri Costco locations beginning this September.

Well, they are certainly ambitious plans. The Chicago, Illinois zoo has designs on what they hope will transform their facility in the short term and carrying on for the next 15 years that will result in what they call 'new immersive experiences'.
