This Illinois Lake Was Just Crowned Most Beautiful in Entire State
With temperatures expected to crank up into the 90s later this week, finding a big body of water to find relief from the heat is going to be crucial. Temperatures can stay around 80 near the lake even when temps get into the 90s inland, according to the National Weather Service.
Giant “Toe-Biters” Like This Are Common in Indiana – Here’s What You Should Know
Do you pay attention to what's in front of you while cutting the grass - I mean, really pay attention? I'll be honest, when I'm on the ol' John Deere, I usually listen to music or a ball game - I'm not looking down to see what I'm cutting. I assume I'm cutting grass. Sometimes, though, you'll encounter a little something extra in your yard - something that might make you stop and take a closer look. Beth Wilcox, from Wabash County, IN, was cutting her grass when she noticed this alien-looking insect in her grass. We know now that what she saw was a Giant Water Bug.
Indiana Drivers: Do NOT Do This if a Train is Blocking a Crossing
It doesn't take long, while driving around Evansville and Southern Indiana, to realize that we have a lot of trains, or at least a lot of train tracks, which can lead to some serious delays in commute. The wait can be bad enough if the train is doing what it's supposed to be doing. It kinda depends on which way it's heading (into or out of the yard) and how fast it's going. The wait gets exponentially worse if/when the train isn't moving at all. How long has it been sitting there? How much longer will it sit there? Do the powers that be know one of their trains is just chillin' in the middle of a crossing? Those are all good questions. Another good question is, what do you do in that situation?
Indiana Man Surprised to See Two Beautiful Woodpeckers in His Backyard
I live in one of those "in-between" areas of Evansville, here in Southern Indiana. It's not considered the "city," but it's also not the "country." Where we live there is plenty of wooded areas and access to a few different water sources, so we are used to seeing several different kinds of wildlife in our yard and around our house.
These Are the 10 Largest Companies in Kentucky in 2024
Over the decades, Kentucky has become a manufacturing mecca. I wonder how many people who don't live here realize that their Jif Peanut Butter, Kellogg's Pop Tarts, and Hot Pockets are manufactured in the Commonwealth. (Or maybe they're too busy enjoying those items to care.) Would YOU be surprised to...
Yelloh (Schwan’s Home Delivery) Closing Five Kentucky Locations
Yelloh, formally known as "Schwan’s Home Delivery," is shutting down five locations across the Bluegrass State. As a kid, I remember seeing the famous Schwan’s yellow trucks run up and down my neighborhood. My family often purchased products from the mobile frozen food palace, which were actually good, from what I remember. My parents bought their "Breaded Cheddar Cheese Curds" on several occasions, and those were always my favorite item. However, over the past few years, I've seen fewer and fewer trucks. In fact, the company has just announced another round of closures.

Apps to Avoid if You Want to Keep Your Indiana Bank Info Safe
If you have an Android device, it might be time to take a closer look at some of the apps you download from the Google Play Store. Most of us use our mobile devices for just about everything these days, whether we're on the iPhone side of that equation or the Android side.

However, with that convenience comes an increase in security threats, and some users may be at greater risk than others.
Yes, Big Mac Hats Existed and They Were Spectacular
You won't catch me shopping for hats in thrift stores. Nope, it's not because I have any phobias about cleanliness or wearing second-hand hats. It's just that my head is, well, larger than average. Think "news anchor head." So, when I see something labeled "one size fits all," I can't help but chuckle.

How to Make Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits at Home
With Red Lobster locations shutting down, many fear losing access to the chain's famous "Cheddar Bay Biscuits." Here's how to make them at home. Personally, I love home cooking. In addition to my weekend slow-smoking and grilling sessions, I've also begun to experiment with more baking recipes. While my wife is the star baker at my house, there are a couple of dishes that I like to put together, namely, scratch-made biscuits, pancakes, and pizza dough as of late. With the recent Red Lobster closings, I decided to find a way to make their delectable cheesy biscuits at home, and it's actually easier than one might think.
