100.9 The Eagle

The folks at TripAdvisor are all about compiling lists of the best and the biggest, the latest and the greatest.

This is proof that Kansas City Chiefs fans have their hearts in the right place. A movement is underway where Chiefs fans are donating to Josh Allen's children's charity and thousands have already been raised.

Life is funny. You're just walking along and doing things when you are alerted to the fact that there's a very large apex predator standing right behind you which is exactly what happened to a lady on vacation.

If you didn't get to Great River Eagle Days in Quincy last weekend, or you did and you didn't reach your limit of "oohing and aahing" at America's national bird, you have another chance this weekend.

It's a town that has unfortunately become known for mysterious disappearances. That's one reason why you'll hear references to Centralia, Illinois being "The Devil's Playground".

I was born in Missouri and my wife is from Iowa so I'll have to be real careful here. But, I've learned that both states once went to war over honey. It was a real conflict that fortunately had no casualties...until now.

We may be in the coldest part of winter (we hope), but that should not stop you from getting away and enjoying some swimming.

The number of deer killed during Missouri's hunting season has been tallied, and I have to be honest with you, I would have never predicted the number to be this high.

As we work our way through the dead of winter, let's talk Cardinal baseball. Player lockout notwithstanding, the St. Louis Cardinals announced Tuesday that single-game tickets for the 2022 regular season will go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, January 28, with prices starting at just $6.

The one thing you don't expect when you're driving to work is to be attacked by the highway. That's what happened to one Missouri man who had his windshield annihilated by falling concrete from an overpass.

Chicago makes the list, but there is another city in Illinois that makes the list of the 50 Dirtiest Cities in America, and it wasn't a city I expected to be on the list at all.

It's a Hannibal tradition that I can personally confirm goes back at least a half-century ... the Mark Twain Avenue gas wars.

We all have our fingers crossed that the season stays pm time with the current lockout we just don't know. However, that's not stopping the St. Louis Cardinals from rolling out 3-Theme Nights for the upcoming season.

If you and your dogs decide to cross a stream, you need to remember that now you're in duck territory. A family learned this recently as their Golden Retrievers received a throw down from a feathered duck navy.

What do you look for in an Airbnb? If you're looking to kick back in Missouri, Lake of the Ozarks is a desirable destination. High on my list is the place not costing an arm and a leg. This Airbnb I found near the Lake checks all those boxes and has a killer view to boot without requiring big bucks.

Imagine this. You're walking alone in a state park when suddenly a woman appears, speaks to you then vanishes. This happened to a veteran in Illinois many years ago and this is his story.

You don't see tornadoes this powerful in January very often, but 55 years ago a killer twister tore through St. Louis County leaving massive damage and loss of life.

The Hannibal Salvation Army has exceeded its 2021 Christmas Campaign fundraising goal.

It's not new and there's a sensible explanation for it, but people are going out of their minds over huge rolling ice balls in Lake Michigan.

Nothin remains in this abandoned Illinois jail, but as explorers kept looking through the empty space, they found several prisoner records in one jail cell.

If you live in Illinois and are looking to retire in 2022 then your best bet to have a good retirement is to leave Illinois, a ranking places the Land of Lincoln near the bottom of the list for states to retire in.

This may be the most "non-news" news item you see all day. Hannibal has a new mural.

How exotic can a home in Missouri be? This might be the answer. It's a Missouri home that has a shark, kingfish, stingray and Egyptian coffins on the walls.

It's wildly underrated, but that might not be the case for much longer. I believe I can prove with science that one of America's best nature parks is hidden deep in Missouri.

I spent a good part of my childhood enjoying the Missouri outdoors near my grandma's farm. That's probably why I still spend more time than I probably should watching trail cam videos. One Missouri cam had a most curious creature appear and I can't pinpoint exactly what it is.

The President of Hannibal-LaGrange University announced his resignation Friday.

This is one house on the market that every Kansas City Chiefs fan I am sure is envious of.
