Some news: Today is my last day covering City Hall for The Daily Line. It's been an honor and a thrill covering everything in this building for the past 3 years. I'll most miss the incredible, dogged City Hall press corps who truly helped me become a better journalist every day.
ICECREAM LIVES ON — With the largest gusto and a bit of sass, the owner of "Big Chill" in #CarbondaleIL — formerly a @DairyQueen before pulling their franchise earlier this year — got a neon sign made in the SAME style as the old. 📸: William Lo
Sad day in Southern Illinois: The historic @DairyQueen location in #CarbondaleIL has had its franchise license pulled by corporate as DQ pushes its "Next Gen Design." Decades of @SIUC alumni will remember the iconic ice cream shop, whose owner has vowed to reopen independently.
Lots of great people doing great work, but for me it’s @SJRbreaking’s @StevenSpearie. Springfield is his hometown and you can tell by the care he puts into every story he reports. He will not be outworked. Also need to give a shoutout to my guy @TReidWrites. A Decatur legend.
