I don't understand a lot of things in life so I guess I can add this new factoid to it. The most expensive university in Missouri is a not-for-profit school and I have so many questions.
I've lived in Missouri most of my life, but for some reason that I can't remember, I wasn't living in the state 30 years ago when a rare solar eclipse reached totality directly over Missouri. I've collected some memories of that day.
I miss the days of old school video rental. This current generation will never understand the thrill or disappointment of finding (or not) the latest movie release behind the box in the video store. There are still two Blockbuster video locations surviving in Missouri - sort of.
I demand a recount. Oh, wait. I'm getting ahead of myself. There's a new safest cities list that includes two Missouri places. That's the good news. The unbelievable part is that they are located near the 'murder capital' of America and I have so many questions.
I'm gonna risk sounding like the old man in the room, but I have seen a lot of changes in Missouri over the past 4 decades. Some good, some bad and some...well just the natural process of things. I've narrowed them down to 5 good and 5 not so good things about Missouri that have changed over the past 40 years.
I did not expect this at all. Despite perceptions about housing challenges in St. Louis, Missouri, the big city suddenly is ranked near the top in one very important housing statistic.
Did you know that many of the iconic scenes from a classic 1980's movie were all filmed in a real Illinois place? What used to be the high school detention center for The Breakfast Club is now a real detention center for the Illinois State Police.
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.
I'm confused. Either my two favorite food worlds have collided or I'm delusional (although admittedly both might be true). The internet 'experts' say the best taco in Missouri requires some form of kung fu. I feel like I should break a board right now.
