The images let residents better appreciate the park's rich heritage.

Spread N' Buns restaurant is planned to open soon in Decatur — the move is part of local business developments in the area.

The Central Illinois housing market is facing a shortage of homes and rising prices as local realtor Dominic Campo noted that inventory is very low and mortgage rates are near 7%.

Data show that Decatur's available homes fell from 441 to 151 since May 2019 and Springfield saw a jump in pricing, while Mayor Misty Buscher said the housing crunch began during COVID (when many secured low rates).
