any time you're told to use AI at work, turn your work in about half as fast and pepper it with obvious mistakes. if nobody cares, you have less to do, and if they do, you can tell them you'll never use AI at work again

After a long 20-month slumber... Belvidere Cinema came back with a bang Saturday with one of the crazy busiest events we've ever done. Around 180 in attendance for E.T. between two shows - first, nearly a full house - with guests visiting from Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan.

Belvidere Mall opened 60 years ago today as the first enclosed shopping center in Lake County, Illinois. One of the very few malls to survive a near-death experience: today it remains a vibrant community hub with 38 shops, services and restaurants - nearly all locally-owned - still calling it home.

#OnThisDay Oct 8, 1956: Southdale, the first fully enclosed shopping mall in the world, opens in Edina, Minnesota. Architect Victor Gruen, later realizing his invention had not lived up to his utopian vision of a car-free public square, became the biggest critic of malls until his death in 1980.

One of the longest abandoned mall stories in recent history finally concluded today as the last wall of Northridge Mall was demolished this morning, in Milwaukee.

Northridge operated from 1973-2002. The property then sat in redevelopment hell for 23 years until the city seized it in foreclosure.

A recent visitor to Waterloo says Crossroads Mall is no longer accessible to the public beyond the entrance which houses Geno's Pizza -- the mall's last tenant. Demolition of the mall is slated to begin after Geno's closes in December
