EDWARDSVILLE - Realtor Lisa Webb with Third Street Realty has plenty of properties for sale on the local market in Godfrey, Fidelity, and more. She discussed the homes she has available on the latest Third On Third segment on Our Daily Show! on Riverbender.com . One such home, located at 3305 Whiteclif Lane in Godfrey at a price of $114,900, has a lot of potential, though Webb noted the margins on it are more suitable for those planning to move in rather than flip it quickly. “If you want to fix it up and live in it and recoup some of that, absolutely. It can be so gorgeous,” Webb said of the Godfrey property. “It could very easily turn into something just really remarkable with the river and everything.” A single-family home in Fidelity listed at $47,900 features three bedrooms, one bathroom, an oversized two-car detached garage, an extra lot, a walk-out basement, and more.

McGivney captured a regional championship this past Saturday, Oct. 21, 2023 at Trenton-Wesclin, and Cummins was once again a bright spot - running 20:32 for three miles for 10th place in the girls' race.
