A lot of homes have guard dogs. I found one home in the Midwest that doesn't need one. It has a guard duck named Angus and no one passes unless Angus approves and Angus never approves.
This northern Illinois home was built during the Civil War, but now sadly sits vacant and has been that way for decades. Explorers discovered that it also was harboring a secret hidden bunker underneath.
I saw an article reference a "bridge to nowhere" in Missouri which sounds like something someone would make up. I have learned that is wasn't fabricated and there really is a bridge to nowhere in Missouri, but that wasn't always the case.
If I could have a couple wishes fulfilled, I'd love a home with both a pool and an arcade. If I win the lottery (which I don't play), I could get this Lake of the Ozarks dream home which checks both of those wish boxes. It has a sweet pool and a vintage arcade.
Of all the potential career options, the least likely one for many of us is beekeeper. If you don't believe me, you should see how a Carthage, Missouri beekeeper moves a huge colony from a tree to an aviary.
If you're gonna do something, go large. It's the American way. That includes the largest aerial firework ever exploded in American history that you can see here.
I think there's some compensating going on here, but in this case that's not a bad thing. There is a teeny tiny Illinois town that is known for having some of the world's largest things.

Would you consider Missouri or Illinois more patriotic? A new study claims to use science to show that the Show Me State is more red, white and blue than the Land of Lincoln. Let's see if you agree with their findings.
If you really want to see the night sky at its finest, you need to get far away from city lights. I found a Missouri cabin that is kind of hidden away from civilization where this is possible and yes, the star views here are epic.
This is sadly a teachable moment about being careful when you buy a replacement battery for a device or appliance when one fails. One Missouri family had a battery go bad on their Dyson vacuum. They found a replacement for it on Amazon which eventually led to their home burning to the ground.
You don't need to deal with the nightmare of airline travel right now to have a luxurious resort experience, one website says they found the best couples resort in the Show-Me State of Missouri, and from the looks of it we certainly agree with them!
Eight dogs at the Quincy Humane Society are looking for fur-ever homes. What makes these pups more interesting is that collectively they have been at the humane society for over 1,000 days.
I have found something that will surely make Wayne and Garth so proud. It's a report that says Aurora, Illinois is one of the best-run cities in America. No way? Way.
I don't know about you, but when I think of I-70, I don't think of relaxing. However, there is one tiny house cabin that's hidden in a cove just off the interstate that does appear to offer a lot of relaxation options.
I was born and raised in Hannibal, Missouri and one of the iconic buildings downtown during my childhood was the Schwartz Funeral Home. That was until the night of the 4th of July in 1983 when it burned to the ground.
When you're driving on the backroads in our part of America, you never know what might be waiting around the next corner. For a driver in Pike County, Missouri on Wednesday, that "what" was a bobcat stretched out in the middle of the road.
If you believe that the phrase "every little bit helps", then you can rejoice that there will be a bit of a relief from grocery and gas taxes in Illinois beginning Friday, July 1.
