St. Louis

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.

We know for a fact there will be a historic total solar eclipse that will cross Missouri and Illinois during the afternoon on April 8, 2024. What we don't know for sure is whether it will be cloudy or sunny. There is now an official forecast from meteorologists about what they think will happen though.

This is one of the reasons I love the internet. If not for the net, I would have never seen a bull named Clem who's now on the loose and running wild in St. Louis, Missouri right now.

It would be a very good thing if you wake up Monday morning in Missouri and see rain shower and/or cloudy conditions because the opposite could mean big tornadoes are likely later in the day across the state.

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.

Well, this was certainly unexpected. A strange earthquake felt by hundreds in the St. Louis, Missouri area has now been confirmed by the USGS.

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.

A niche St. Louis, Missouri restaurant has just been given quite an honor. According to the internationally-known website Yelp, the 2nd best restaurant in America resides in the Gateway City and it's not an eatery you likely have heard of - yet.

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.
