Hoopeston, Illinois has a very colorful past which includes being home to several POW Camps for German soldiers during WWII. During their confinement in Hoopeston, one small group of prisoners escaped trying to get to South America but were captured nearby just a few days later. This video also reveals stories about how the town became the Sweet Corn Capital; the massive Hoopeston Canning Company which later became part of Stokley-Van Camp, how the term Corn Jerkers came about and how a queen was robbed of her crown.

10 Places in Illinois You Should NEVER Move To
Every state has cities and towns that are really nice, but they also have some that should be avoided at all costs, but to high poverty rates, a lack of decent jobs, a bad educational system, and/or high crime rates. Illinois is no exception. There are several communities that I would never recommend to someone moving to the Land of Lincoln. In this video, we're taking a look at 10 of those places.

*NOT FOR REBROADCAST*
In 2023 there currently have been 1165 confirmed tornadoes in the United States (as of Nov 27). That's just under the annual average. For some storm chasers, 2023 was a great year, for others, very challenging and disappointing. Though I documented 20 tornadoes, I personally fall somewhere in between as I missed the majority of the spectacularly photogenic tornado events in Iowa, Nebraska and Colorado. The year was characterized by nontypical chase setups in fringe states like Mississippi, Arkansas and Illinois as well as several hard to forecast long range, upslope set ups in Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming. Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas had lower than average storm events it seems as the days of May Lee Low triple point set-ups rolling across the Plains were almost absent. Remarkable supercell structures were abundant across the entire alley.
REMARKABLE STORM EVENTS FEATURED:
On March 24, Powerful Tornadoes impacted MS, AL and TN at night. Morning light revealed catastrophic EF4 rated damage in Rolling Fork Mississippi
where 17 people lost their lives. Storm Chaser Brandon Clement documented the incredible damage with his drone. See his incredible video on his channel here...
3.31 ARKANSAS
Racing toward me at 50 mph was a killer EF3 In Arkansas. After ripping through Little Rock and Jacksonville, this tornado would injure 50 people
and miraculously only one fatality was reported. However, this outbreak was just beginning. another large, intense tornado was about to tear through Wynne Arkansas. In its wake of obliterated homes, the high end EF3 claimed the lives of 4 people.
4.04 ILLINOIS & IOWA
A fast moving tornadic supercell tracked from Missouri into Illinois. Several chasers were hit by a tornado with max EF3 rated damage. Luckily, the chasers would all survive. Because of the the high precipitation storm mode, extremely fast cell motion and difficult chasing terrain, I kept my distance. Over in Iowa, Scott Currens was documenting an incredibly photogenic tornado. See his footage here...
4.19 KANSAS
One storm in eastern Kansas would produce 8 tornadoes after sunset that would traverse mostly open country in the Flint Hills. Elsewhere near OKC, interacting supercells danced in a Fujiwhara effect producing numerous tornadoes.
5.12 NEBRASKA
A long tracking EF2 would track North near Lyons Nebraska where it was wrapped in heavy rain. a couple other EF2s would touch down during this outbreak including a photogenic tornado producer near Greeley and Spaulding Nebraska.
6.15 TEXAS & OKLAHOMA
The event of the day was a deadly EF3 tornado tearing through Perryton Texas, ending the lives of 3 people and injuring 100 others.
6.21 MATADOR TEXAS
On June 21, another extremely dangerous storm was tracking over a region with limited roads. While I was giving the storm a wide birth, Daniel Shaw managed to capture and report the intense rain-wrapped tornado prior to it striking Matador Texas. His reports directly resulted in locals seeking shelter. Unfortunately 4 deaths occurred. You can see Daniel's incredible account of this event here...
6.23 WYOMING
On June 23 in I finally scored some pretty tornadoes in Wyoming. The largest of the tornadoes would impact the outskirts of the small town Hawk Springs. No fatalities were reported. Chasing around the scenic bluffs and challenging road network, I managed to eek out a couple more tornadoes as the cyclic supercell moved into Nebraska. A damaging tornado would prompt a tornado emergency in Scott's Bluff and Gering as locals evacuated town. Fortunately no fatalities occurred.

The Most Haunted Town in America! Alton, Illinois
Spooks call this place home, and they have the potential of appearing at any time, to any person, at any location. It is said that limestone, a building material used in many Alton dwellings because of its supply nearby, holds psychic energy. The Illini Indians once dominated this place, along with the nearby convergence of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers. All this makes for a great ghostly paradise!

This Historic Indiana Town Has NO DOWNTOWN!! Clarksville, Indiana 5K.
Clarksville claims to be the oldest town in the Northwest Territory. It also claims to be the gathering spot for the Lewis and Clark expedition. Those are some big claims, yet the town doesn't have a historic Downtown! Anyway... most people today think of Clarksville as a place to go shopping, as it's home to the largest retail corridor in Southern Indiana, and arguably in all of the Louisville Metro area.

Benton Harbor has been struggling for a long time. The city has an extremely high crime rate for a city of its size. Over half of the towns peak population has left the city, and the economic downward spiral that the city has found itself in has no signs of turning around.

Siesta Key, Florida Is More Than A Reality Show. People.
Siesta Key has often been ranked as the best beach in America. Known for it’s soft white sand that never gets too hot underneath the sizzling Florida sun, and also known for the clear blue tint of the water… even though Red Tide was in action when I was here. Regardless, Siesta Key is definitely worth a visit if you’re ever able to come down to the Sarasota area. Throughout this video though we’re going to be seeing the CDP that is Siesta Key, not so much the beach. Along the way I’ll tell you more about what it’s like to both live here and visit.

Driving Around Small Town Alton, Illinois in 4k Video
Filmed on Monday, June 26 2023, I drive around the city of Alton, Illinois to see what's happening. This is my 2nd trip to Alton.
Alton was developed as a river town in January 1818 by Rufus Easton, who named it after his son. Easton ran a passenger ferry service across the Mississippi River to the Missouri shore.
Alton is located amid the confluence of three navigable rivers: the Illinois, the Mississippi, and the Missouri, and it quickly developed into a river trading town with an industrial character.
Alton became an important town for abolitionists, as Illinois was a free state, separated from the slave state of Missouri only by the Mississippi River. Pro-slavery activists also lived there and slave catchers often raided the city. Escaped slaves would cross the river to seek shelter in Alton, and proceed to safer places through stations of the Underground Railroad.
On October 15, 1858, Alton was the site of the seventh Lincoln-Douglas debate. A memorial at the site in downtown Alton features oversized statues of Lincoln and Douglas, as they would have appeared during the debate. Congressional representatives came to Alton when they drafted the Thirteenth Amendment of the Constitution, to permanently end slavery throughout the Union.
In 1937, two commercial fishermen from Alton caught a bull shark in the Mississippi River. They displayed the 5-foot 84-pound shark in the Calhoun Fish Market, where it attracted crowds for days.
Many blocks of housing in Alton were built in the Victorian Queen Anne style. They represent a prosperous period in the river city's history. At the top of the hill in the commercial area, several stone churches and a fine city hall also represent the city's wealth during its good times based on river traffic, manufacturing and shipping.
Once the site of several brick factories, Alton has an unusually high number of streets still paved in brick.
Numerous residences on hills have sweeping views of the Mississippi River. Most of Alton is located on bluffs overlooking the river valley. The Meeting of the Great Rivers National Scenic Byway runs along the Alton riverfront.
The River Road goes right next to the river north to Grafton. Above that, it is often routed inland of the floodplain. It provides views of the dramatic contrast between the high cliffs of the Illinois side to the broad, flat, green agricultural countryside of Portage des Sioux, Missouri. The Great River Road is a popular bicycle touring route.
In the late 19th and 20th centuries, Alton became a town of heavy industry and manufacturing. Laclede Steel established major steel manufacturing operations in the town. Local industry also includes Cope Plastics and Hanley Industries. Alton was home to once-thriving, now defunct, industries such as the Owens-Illinois Glass Bottle Works and Alton Box Board Company.
Restructuring in the industry in the mid-20th century led Alton to create a new future. It has facilities for corporate and vacation retreats and it has transitioned into a popular tourist destination. Alton's location and historical heritage make it a popular destination for antique shopping, touring historic areas, and gambling aboard the Argosy Casino.
Other Greater Alton attractions include Alton Marina; nine golf courses, fine dining and night life; and a large selection of bed-and-breakfasts and guest houses. These include the Beall Mansion An Elegant Bed & Breakfast Inn, voted Best Illinois Bed and Breakfast in the Illinois Magazine Readers Poll.
Billing itself as the wedding capital of the Midwest, Alton has become a popular venue for weddings, receptions, and honeymoons.
Some visitors come to explore the natural environment of the area. A designated bikeway extends for miles north of town along the Mississippi River and below the limestone bluffs; its relatively flat grade and passage through tree-shaded areas makes it an easy ride for families.
During the migration seasons, Alton is a destination for birdwatchers along the Mississippi Flyway; winter visitors come to see the bald eagles that roost on the Illinois limestone bluffs and feed on fish in the river.
As of the census of 2020, there were 25,676 people residing in the city.
The racial makeup of the city was 72.3% White, 24.7% Black or African American, 0.18% Native American, 0.4% Asian, 0.1% Pacific Islander, 0.7% from other races, 1.7% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino people of any race were 1.5% of the population.
The median household income was $44,401 and the Per capita income was $30,830. 18.7% of the population were living below the poverty line.

This Sad Town Used To Be The Capital Of Illinois: Vandalia, IL 5K.
Vandalia, Illinois is rich in history, but it's hard to ignore the state that the town is in currently. The poverty rate in Vandalia is twice the national average rate, and the median household income is incredibly low, even when you compare it to some other nearby Illinois towns.
