I was born and raised in Missouri, but life led me to move. A lot. That's apparently not unusual as a study shows the most popular cities that Missourians move to and there are 4 that stand out as surprises.
I'd like to go ahead and apologize to all of my California friends. This is not meant to be a slam of those who call the Golden State home. However, there are a large number of west coasters who are moving to Missouri and I need to warn them that they're in for a big shock.
There are a lot of very valid reasons to not move anywhere you can think of. However, I now think I have heard the absolute dumbest reasons ever to not move to Missouri. You might want to sit down for this one.
