Just reminiscing.

I keep hearing about the "corruption" going on with the Mayor of Dolton. She seems to be butting heads with other town officials.

There doesn't seem to be much "on the ground reporting" of how the residents of the town are feeling about the mayor. Do the residents really feel she is improving the community? Why hasn't she been voted out? She got 82% of the vote in 2021, when she became mayor.

If you are a resident of Dolton or live close to it, please drop your thoughts about the situation below!

Hi! I'm originally from the midwest (MI), but moved to Virginia (VA) about a decade ago. I'm tired of the heat and high cost of living here. I have my heart set on Illinois, but I'm having some trouble parsing through all the information online about which cities/areas are going to be the best fit.

I'd want to avoid high-tornado areas at all costs (I am TERRIFIED of them, ha). I like snow, so that doesn't bother me! I prefer quiet areas with laid-back cultures. Not one for the night life. I'd ideally like a smaller place that's mostly walkable for day to day needs like grocery stores, but that's a "nice to have" rather than a "need to have."

I'd be looking to purchase a home and settle down, hopefully for life if I can find the right area. I really appreciate any recommendations anyone has. Thank you!

Edit: Extra info as requested: I am still working. I'd like to find a new local job, but won't have an immediate need for it (current position is remote and set up to operate in IL). I'm 31F and not looking for marriage or kids (I'm aro/ace), so no need to consider schooling. I love hiking and having access to Lake Michigan wherever possible, but I don't mind a drive, so it's not a huge deal.

Thanks!

Good afternoon everyone.

I was wondering if anyone here could help me out, im looking to buy a small piece of land (acre to acre and a half) where i could place an rv as my primary residence while i build an actual homestead style living quarter.

Due to my job im looking in the dekalb/ will county areas or surrounding areas(except crook county) even debating looking for something along the Indiana border

If anyone has any experience or information on the subject it would be of great help.

I've been trying to read trough alot of the zoning requirements for various towns but my understanding of legal terminology well sucks lol

Thank you in advance to anyone who comments helpfull information

I have a car that's been sitting and the emissions expired some time last year. Someone is interested in buying it. Can I still transfer the title and they get some grace period to get it tested?

I don't want to renew the registration and get it insured just to get the test done.

I got a new vehicle and had generic plates put on at the dealership. Since then, I’ve sold a vehicle that had vanity plates on it. Those plates still have a sticker that’s good until Dec 2024 but aren’t on a vehicle at this time. Can I just simply go to the DMV and transfer the vanity plates? I’ve tried calling the DMV all week but can’t get through to anyone to ask!

I haven’t read too much on this, but what are the current results of the bears’ deciding to buy the land, then not develop on it? Is Arlington Heights now facing huge fiscal deficits? Is the land around there a mess? Curious if anyone has info to share.

i’m located in peoria and i’m not sure if i should take the test here. what’s all on the road test in peoria and at other locations?

Odd question, but does anyone know how many times/how often you can change the address for your vehicles registration? My girlfriend moved in with me, but we are moving in June to a new apartment so it seems fruitless to change the address twice. However, we want to park her car in the HOA's parking lot, in order to do that, we would have to change the address for her cars registration and obtain proof.

Would the state allow us to change it now, and then in two months change it again?

Hi, this is the second post i make on the topic. I'm looking for people with italian heritage that live in Ladd/Bureau County or that have interest in helping me trace back my great-great grandparents who lived in Ladd between somewhere near 1894/5 and 1901, or just chat a bit.
