Arkansas

If you love the golden age of trains, there's one you need to know about that traverses the lands of southern Missouri into northwestern Arkansas and just so happens to go over a jaw-dropping railroad bridge, too.

I laughed harder at this than I probably should have, but you might too. It's the state that Missouri is allegedly most similar to. If Missouri had a cousin, I guess this neighboring state would be it.

If someone asked you to name all 50 US states could you do it? If you couldn't, what would be the states you forget to list? Well, according to one major survey Missouri is the state that gets forgotten the most, check out the details here.

I tend to be a history buff. For that reason, I decided I needed to know how and why Missouri ended up with a bootheel. The answers are varied and some are hysterical even blaming Arkansas for the appendage on the bottom of the Show Me State.

We all have that one friend that...stuff happens to because of questionable decisions. I think more than one of us can say that we have Arkansas friends that match this description. A new video shows what happened when one of them decided to hand-feed a squirrel and live to regret it.

Twenty-nine years ago yesterday, yours truly was on the road heading for Cape Girardeau, Missouri to broadcast a Quincy College-Southeast Missouri State University basketball game. I usually didn’t get too nervous going to ballgames, but this time I had a reason to be on edge because this was the predicted day of an earthquake for that area.
