EDWARDSVILLE - 222 Artisan Bakery announced they will temporarily close at the end of February 2024. In a Facebook post on Sunday, Feb. 4, 2024, the bakery announced that their landlord decided to bring in a different business. “We signed our new lease as written by our landlord, but unfortunately they decided to go with a different business. We do understand,” the bakery said in their post. “With rent prices rising in Edwardsville, you must do what you can for your family and your family’s future. Unfortunately, we were not their choice, and we can’t hold that against them.” The bakery said they have another spot to “set up shop” but warned there may be a delay because of the time it takes to complete buildout, permits and city inspections. They added that they asked their landlord for an extension but the request was declined. “In the meantime, our biggest concern is our employees,” the bakery said. “These

ALTON - February is Heart Awareness Month, and Laurinda Harjai has a few tips to keep your heart healthy. Harjai, a cardiology nurse practitioner with OSF Medical Group, explained that Heart Awareness Month is a good chance to think about your health and make adjustments where needed. She encourages all patients to keep an eye on their blood pressure and cholesterol levels, to stay active, and to follow up on any concerns they might have. “I think it’s a good time to bring awareness,” Harjai said. “When was the last time I saw my primary care doctor?
