Columbia

Missouri has already had its fair share of thunderstorms and the pattern that has been prevalent the past couple of weeks doesn't look to change anytime soon. Missouri and especially the middle of the state is in the danger zone for a major lighting event soon.

You can't see this, but I'm rolling my eyes and haven't stopped since I first learned what the internet thinks is Missouri's loneliest place. It is beyond ridiculous and I can prove it with personal experience and some science, too.

The team of Eleanor Holiway, Chris Boehm and Lauren Homan, placed fourth.

I've heard my share of Missouri Bigfoot stories, but never one quite like this. A Missouri man claims he had one of these mythical creatures drawn to him possibly because of the awesome music he was playing on his car stereo.

I don't mean to judge, but I have to question a new internet conclusion about the Missouri place that has the most 'community spirit'. #1 is surprising to me and #3 is kind of unusual, too.

Learn about the ongoing investigation into the tragic death of Deshon Joseph Houston in Columbia.

It's obvious that Macy's is trying to execute a massive overhaul to try and save its business. The company just announced that 150 more stores will be closing. The question for Missouri is if (or how many) stores in the state will be affected.

Say what you want about Missouri, but it has its fair share of really great diners. That means when one gets called out by the internet as "the best", that means something in the Show Me State. The newest choice of online experts isn't near St. Louis or Kansas City either.

Well, this is totally unexpected. If you had to guess where the next great hub of technology and innovation were to be, would you guess in the heart of Missouri? That's exactly what has just been predicted.

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.
