ALTON - Downtown Alton is welcoming a new storefront with the grand opening of Coco+Oak on Sept. 8. When Madeline Eades started the shop online in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, she saw it as a hobby during quarantine.

SPRINGFIELD – In an effort to build its ranks, the Illinois State Police (ISP) is updating the pre-employment requirements for people applying to become a trooper.
