Hannibal

I'm not the type of person who likes to hand out awards and accomplishments before they've been earned and I fully realize the Missouri state football high school finals won't happen until Friday. However, I'd like to make the argument that the Hannibal Pirate football team are already champions. I'll explain.

This is not exactly breaking news to those of us that have lived here a majority of our lives, but it's nice that Hannibal's downtown area has been named one of the 7 best in Missouri.

Thanks to a 'wild' local podcast, a national audience is learning more about Quincy history. Chris Koetters and Travis Hoffman explain how their team effort began with a simple interaction on Facebook to become one of the most popular podcasts in our area.

We should always follow the local and federal laws...but some of these will leave you scratching your head. So when researching weird/crazy laws in Illinois and Missouri, I was shocked at what I found.

I want to preface this by stating that much of what I've found is based on legends which may or may not be true. However, it appears there is at the very least some twisted truth in the telling of the Missouri doctor who allegedly stole corpses and at one time owned Mark Twain Cave in Hannibal.

I absolutely despise getting involved in politics and I don't plan to start now. However, I need to dive into a touchy topic that I've heard brought up constantly again over the past few weeks. Is it finally time for Hannibal's much-debated Highway 61 bypass?

We are so lucky to have some of the best restaurants in the Tri-States.

Santa is of course known for his magical reindeer-powered sleigh, but that’s not the only way he tours the Tri-States.

If you grew up in Hannibal in the 1960's or 1970's, you likely remember the Ski-Hi Drive-In movie theater that was located on what is now MM. I found some information that may bring back some memories of that golden era of movies in cars in Hannibal.

It's that time of year where we need your help to load our lobby to help children in our area.
