Special Airline For Dogs Now Flies Out Of Illinois
If you love traveling with your dog, there is now a new and better option flying out of Illinois. Don't get me wrong, I love animals, especially my pets.

Evansville Retailer to Close After 60 Years in Business
Paul’s Menswear launched a retirement sale last month, with plans to close doors after over 60 years on the west side of Evansville. While I never personally purchased a suit from Paul’s Menswear, I can certainly appreciate the time that goes into getting a suit or pants tailored. I purchased my first suit in December 2019 when I started going on job interviews after college. Buying my first suit around that time was, to me, a symbol of accomplishment, and it was a great experience. I would imagine many in the Evansville area have similar stories about shopping at Paul’s Menswear.
