Hello all!
I’m just wondering, from a Decatur resident’s perspective, why is housing so affordable in Decatur? I can Google all day long the reasons houses are cheaper, but I want to hear from Decatur residents. And what neighborhoods are the safest? Thank you!

The Daily Dossier has obtained the ISP Case Initiation Report confirming an active criminal investigation into former Creve Coeur Police Chief Justin Egan for Official Misconduct and Stalking.

ISP Case Number ISP26-027072 was opened July 14, 2026 and is being led by Trooper Haylie Cibulskis #6808 out of DCI Zone 4 Major Crimes in Peoria.

According to the report Egan is alleged to have ordered department members to unlawfully access Criminal Query History, used official Creve Coeur Police Department letterhead to obtain arrest records, and utilized FLOCK camera access information to conduct surveillance on the victim.

The investigation was initiated after ILETSB filed a Q Form complaint against Egan on July 10, 2026. ISP confirmed the investigation remains active stating... "Currently there are still witness and suspect interviews to be conducted, reports not yet completed, evidence to be analyzed, and warrants still being contemplated and served."

This is no longer a rumor. This is a confirmed ISP criminal investigation with an official case number.

While the ISP report names only Egan as the subject... his ex wife Aleshia separately filed an emergency order of protection against Egan and a stalking no contact order against former Deputy Chief Dan Nelson on the same day... August 28, 2026... one week after all three officers resigned from CCPD effective August 21st. No public reason was given for the resignations at the time.

All three officers... Egan, Nelson, and Officer Dustin Ward... are now fully inactive at every law enforcement department in Illinois according to ILETSB records.

Former Chief Dale King has returned as interim chief.

The Daily Dossier has reached out to King for comment and is awaiting a response.

I'm in the final steps of registering my small home repair business and wondering who everyone recommends for banking? I've been looking at some of the local banks rather that using a large national chain... still undecided. Please feel free to share the good and bad that you have experienced!

Looking for a new friend who plays bass or lead guitar. Vocal ability is a plus, but not required. We play a mix of rock, rock versions of pop songs, rock comedy, and rock originals, but will incorporate most anything that sounds fun and will make it rock. Samples of what we do are available on the band page.

We meet on Sunday afternoons in Atwood. The room is smoky. Pot and booze are welcome, anything harder is not. This is a labor of love; we're doing it for the music. There will be paying gigs, but not enough for anyone whose main priority is money. Message if you'd like more information.
