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.
I realize that I'm not meant to understand everything in life and this is a great example. Why are so many Colorado people suddenly moving to Missouri? I have data to prove it's happening and I'm mystified as to why.
I understand why so many people think they need to move to Florida, but I'm shocked that so many in Missouri actually did it. The numbers show more than 10,000 in just one year chose to depart Missouri and head to the Sunshine State which begs the question why.
I am a fan of electricity. Like you probably do, I use a lot of electricity, yet I also fear electricity because of the whole electrocution possibilities thing. That's one reason I'm a bit nervous about news that a super high-voltage wire is being built over Missouri and Illinois right now.
No one knows exactly what it is or where it came from, but local legends agree that some sort of river monster really did lurk in the southern part of the Missouri Ozarks.
It appears that there is a Missouri town that is now famous for two different things. First, it's just been rated as one of the worst towns to live in Missouri. Oh, and it apparently was founded by one of the ancestors of Hollywood icon Brad Pitt.
