I remember when last summer many in Missouri were hoping and praying for rain as much of the state was enduring a drought. This summer it's a totally different story as some parts of the state were just drenched with 8 inches of rain according to meteorologists.

For once, I am completely on board with something the internet has decided. A national survey of favorite treat brands has resulted in a decision which just so happens to have 20 sweet locations in Missouri and yes, I am a fan.

I went to a Missouri public high school and believe they gave me the best education someone like me could ever ask for. There are many that prefer something private. If you're looking for the best private high school in Missouri, there's a brand new ranking showing you the truly elite education places.

Neo is on his way to the Show Me State. If you already know that means Keanu Reeves is coming to Missouri, then you'll want to be prepared to see him in August because he really is coming with some friends.

It's a real Missouri treasure hunt and someone will walk away with $32,000 in gems including a diamond that are hidden somewhere in Boone County thanks to the historical society there.

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.
