German cuisine: a treat for travelers

Eating in Germany is a big part of the fun of traveling there. Ingredients are wonderful (especially if you eat with the season), traditions are prized, "modern German cuisine" is giving old dishes tasty and entertaining new twists, and small, creative foodie places are thriving in every city. And here's even more good news: Eating well in Germany is an amazing value — cheaper than in France, Britain, Italy, or Scandinavia. Get ready for surprises on the menu. Even in […]

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story: December 1, 2018

Catfish At a restaurant the other night, I overheard somebody ask his dinner companion, "How do you make a catfish?" I offered a reply. The answer, of course, is, “Give him a rod and reel.” But this man wanted to know how to extract bones from the critter. I've got no idea. But I did research the beast, and will now reveal more than you wanted to know about the seafood with whiskers. Catfish live in fresh water. Most catfish […]

Bath’s easy urban delights

England's best city within two hours of London is beautiful, historic Bath. The city is popular and expensive, but it's a joy to visit. And rather than deal with London's intensity right off the bat, I like to take the train from the airport to London's Paddington Station and then hop on a connection to this more relaxed and elegant example of urban England. Bath was a joy even in ancient Roman times, when patricians soaked in the city's mineral […]

Capital Area Region

COMMENTARY: Threats of violence have no place in politics

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- The lame duck session of the Illinois General Assembly got incredibly ugly Wednesday during discussion regarding overriding a bill veto. A bill which would increase the cap on tort lawsuit payouts from its current $100,000 to a cap of $2 million was placed under an amendatory veto by outgoing Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner. During debate in the veto override, in which legitimate financial concerns were made by Rep. Peter Breen (R-Lombard) were later mocked by Rep. Stephanie […]

These hotel fees are making your stay more expensive

Last week I wrote about some of the new and different ways airlines are collecting fees, rendering many base fare comparisons moot. Well, as it turns out, a similar phenomenon has also been affecting a different part of the travel sector for years. I speak, of course, of the hotel industry. Just as looking on third-party travels sites for flights can sometimes cause you to overlook the true cost, there are a few semi-hidden hotel fees that also increase the […]

SCOTT: A ‘yes’ vote for Small Business Saturday makes year-round impact

Election Day has passed but you still have time to make one more “Yes” vote. I’d like to ask for you to do that for Small Business Saturday, which is Nov. 24 this year.

Rix Quinn’s Minute Story Extravaganza: November 17, 2018

Reading I'd like to salute one of America's greatest unsung heroes. His name was Sterl Artley, a famous reading teacher, who died in 1968. He wrote wonderful stories about Dick and Jane. If you're a Baby Boomer, or a Generation Xer, you may remember them. These kids had a dog named Spot, and a cat named Puff. Mr. Artley's simple stories began with basic words, gradually building children's vocabulary and word recognition skills. Unfortunately, it's hard to find Dick and […]
