Missouri

Considering the fact that I once ran over a garden hose with a lawn mower and ruined both in my Missouri yard, perhaps I'm not a great person to be teaching others what they should or shouldn't leave in a backyard. However, people much smarter than me have shared some pro advice that I'll happily pass along on the do's and don'ts of what stays outside.

Unlike some modern school curriculums, not everyone gets a prize when it comes to hospitals and safety. That's why it's great news that a newly-updated national ranking has given 14 Missouri hospitals a stellar A rating for patient safety.

I always feel odd sharing data and rankings about Missouri school districts since I didn't attend nearly as much school as most of my peers, but perhaps that's a story for a different day. The numbers don't lie though as there are 20 Missouri school districts that are more highly-rated than the rest of the state.

When you hear what is allegedly Missouri's most affordable housing market, I would not blame you if your first question is "WHAT?!".

In case you didn't know somehow, Missouri and Illinois are located next to each other and I can prove it with a map. The reason I bring this up is there's a new forecast from Farmer's Almanac that claims Missouri and Illinois will have the complete opposite types of summer and it makes no sense to me.

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.

There are lots of differences between the Land of Lincoln and the Show-Me State, but it is shocking how different Illinois and Missouri are in this ONE major category, and it's not good for Missouri...

All I can say is stop the madness now. There's really a push to ban most decaffeinated coffee in both Missouri and Illinois and I have so many questions.

It's the ebb and flow of business that new businesses open and others close constantly. In the case of Walmart, it's the closing of centers in both Missouri and Illinois that will end permanently.

I don't tend to put a lot of importance on internet lists, but there are a few that I pay close attention to and this is one of them. In a brand new safest cities list for 2024, you'll fine 2 Missouri and Illinois cities ranked among the 20 safest in the country.
