These 14 families wield influence across Chicago and Illinois through business, politics, philanthropy, sports and civic institutions.
My Turn | The case for investing in Central Illinois
When ag-tech startup Boston Bioprocess began its headquarters relocation search, founder Ted Netland thought they would stay in Massachusetts or move to neighboring New York. Instead, Boston Bioprocess chose to be in central Illinois. Why? Access to talent and resources. Anchored by the University of Illinois, Netland said the region’s vibrant biotech community “punches above its weight.” Central Illinois beat Boston and New York? Yes. Boston Bioprocess’ story isn’t an anomaly.
Upside Foods Glenview site selection says a lot about Illinois: Dan Seals
Recently, Upside Foods announced plans to locate its first commercial production facility in north suburban Glenview. As the first cultivated meat company to receive FDA approval, this is a major boon for Illinois’ thriving food technology ecosystem. The company will invest $141 million and create 75 jobs. But why did this pioneer in the future of food choose to do its manufacturing in a suburb better known for office parks and corporate headquarters?
Illinois attracts business despite naysayers: Op-ed by Intersect Illinois CEO Seals
Crain’s recent editorial assessing Illinois’ business competitiveness left room for me to share more about the path we are on to bring economic growth and jobs to the state. The story acknowledged many of our state’s leading attributes: elite universities churning out a well-trained workforce; world-class cultural amenities in an affordable setting; and our location at the center of infrastructure that efficiently moves people and products.

Illinois census correction strengthens state's case for economic development
A corrected survey from the Census Bureau found that Illinois actually gained population over the last decade, rather than the initial reports of lost population. So, what does this mean? First of all, it justifies what we’ve been saying all along: Illinois is a place where people and businesses want to be. And it aligns with the fact that our state is No. 1 in the Midwest for job growth.
Keep Extension Cord Connections Dry
Happy Halloween…time to start thinking about getting those Christmas lights hung up! Normally, I am one to beg folks to slow the roll downhill to Christmas. What’s the hurry? Enjoy Halloween. Embrace Thanksgiving. But in this climate, you sometimes only get a few precious days of lights hanging weather once November arrives. You can plan to do it next weekend, but you’re just tempting fate.
Hair Today - Gone Tomorrow
Hair care products have come a long way over the years. Walk down a hair care aisle in the store, and it can be kind of an overwhelming experience. Gone are the days of simple choices like hair spray, gel, or mousse. Now you can toss into the mix: oil, putty, forming cream, paste, styling wax. We’re no longer merely cleaning and restoring our hair. Today we are: volumizing, hydrating, amplifying, manipulating…we are even dry shampooing.

Keep the Roll | 102.5 Duke FM
Here is the easiest way to use your vacuum hose to suck out the lint trap of your dryer.

Chocolate Beer Cupcakes
This month, I'm incorporating BEER into some of my recipes in honor of the Northeast Wisconsin Craft Beer Festival , presented by Festival Foods, October 7th. The recipe I borrowed this from calls for an Irish Stout, like Guinness, but I used a local craft brew instead. To round out the cupcakes, I'm giving a nod to all things Irish!

Pork Spare Ribs | 96.1 Duke FM
I always like to look for new ways to make ribs. The cooking process is always similar, but I like to change up the rubs, sauces, etc to see how it affects the flavor. These ribs ended up a bit spicy, but very delicious. Here's what you'll need for the rub: Mix the ingredients together, rub on ribs, then wrap them in plastic wrap and put them back in the refrigerator for anywhere from 4 hours to overnight. The longer the better.
