The experts at US News have released their annual high school rankings, they looked at over 24,000 high schools across the US, so which is the BEST in the Show-Me State?
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.
When it comes to hospital safety, you definitely want a passing grade. For 2 Missouri hospitals, they received 'D' ratings in a new ranking of all the health facilities in the state.
While you might expect an iconic landmark like the Gateway Arch to be considered the most beautiful structure in Missouri, that's not quite right. What is considered by many to be the most beautiful building in Missouri is a 110-year-old masterpiece that is truly 'heavenly'.
I've been in and through the St. Louis, Missouri airport many times in my lifetime, but I've fortunately never experienced what everyone in those terminals did on this day 13 years ago when monster tornadoes devasted the St. Louis area including a direct hit on the airport.
It sounds ominous because it is. A major national publication has announced that they believe St. Louis, Missouri is spiraling down a 'doom loop' and there's no escape in sight. It may mean the St. Louis many of us has grown up with will soon be no more.
I want to start by saying that I'd like to add my own non-scientific addendum to this new ranking that shows Missouri has taken a deep dive to almost the bottom of states when it comes to public safety and crime.
The internet needs to make up its mind. One day it claims that Missouri is a training ground for teams of murderers. The next it says we're so happy we have sunshine coming out of our ears. That's the case for a new ranking that says Missouri is home to one of the happiest places in America and I can almost guarantee that you'll be surprised where.
Since I was born and raised in Missouri, I've been to and through St. Louis many times. I've also traveled through many ghost towns which is why I'm perplexed at a new study that claims this big metro is really a 'modern ghost town'. There's some real science that proves that really is the case.
Already this year, I've had the sad task of sharing a lot of stores that are closing their doors for one reason or another. In this case, it's the opposite. It appears there are at least two new Target stores that will open in Missouri soon.
