History

If you thought street gangs were the most dangerous element to fear in Missouri, you'd be wrong. Sure, modern gangs are a serious concern, but they're no match for a crime family in Missouri that began its reign 111 years ago.

One of Kansas City's biggest eyesores has a date with the wrecking ball. Take a last look at the Weld Wheel Building in Kansas City before it's torn down.

True West magazine writer Bob “Boze” Bell paid a visit to the Katy Depot, 600 E. 3rd on Saturday morning.

I remember it like it was yesterday. It was a sunny Saturday in May of 2003 when the sky began to growl. Large anvil-like clouds began to explode overhead and by the time the day and night were done, numerous tornadoes wreaked havoc in Missouri and Illinois with a monster EF-2 roaring through Canton, Missouri and Lima, Illinois.

It's been said that where there is smoke, you'll most of the time find fire. The same can be said of legends. Even among the tallest tales, there is often some truth behind it all.

It was the third most severe flood of the Mississippi River in the 20th century. The waters rose, levees failed and the end result was 28 lives were lost and thousands were displaced by the 'Great Flood of 73' that created havoc in Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee, and Mississippi.

I'm no scientist, but I'm having a hard time understanding about how one of the prettiest areas in Missouri also happens to have the worst air quality in the state.

When most people think of the Royal Gorge, they rightfully think of the awesome canyons in Colorado. This isn't that one. It is a Royal Gorge, but it's in Missouri and it was created thanks in part to stubborn rocks and an ancient volcano. I'll try to explain.

See what was left behind in 2015 when St. Mary's Hospital in Jefferson City abandoned its longtime hospital for a new campus a few miles away along Missouri 179.
