Sedalia philanthropist Sue Heckart announced her intentions to fund a bowling facility which will be attached to Sedalia's new aquatic facility on the east side.
I've caught some big fish in Missouri in my lifetime, but never anything like this. A world record 164 pound fish was just landed at the Lake of the Ozarks and it's not likely to be topped anytime soon.
Stop me if you've heard this before. The worst place for crime in Missouri is St. Louis or Kansas City. For some types of crime, yes that's accurate, but not for this one. The worst place for property crime in the Show Me State isn't either of those metros. Oh, and it's not Springfield either in case you guessed that, too.

I understand that many people over the past few years have decided that Illinois is not their cup of tea. I get it. However, I am in a state of shock at the state that they leave the Land of Lincoln for the most. In just one year, more than 35,000 Illinoisans decided to depart for the wackiest state in America.
