I have found a new way to search for the best restaurants and the results are interesting. If you go online looking for the best place to eat out in Saint Louis, Missouri, I bet you'll find a different one than I've come up with. Let's compare notes.
I blame the fact that I am an extreme skeptic on being born and raised in Missouri. That "show me" tendency is real. I got curious about what the 10 most highly-rated restaurants in Kansas City, Missouri might be and found out it was harder to find than I thought.
It's expected to be another volatile weather day for Missouri again today as models and forecasts show hurricane-force winds and tornadoes very well could impact parts of the state today.
It has been and continues to be the home of the worst of the worst. It's one of the most infamous prisons in America and it's located in southern Illinois with a history of violence, death and has been the home of mob bosses and terrorists.
Guy Fieri seems like Missouri a lot. Or, at least he loves Missouri food as he's filmed numerous episodes of his famous TV show at dozens of popular food joints around the state and I have the complete list.
I grew up surrounded by those clumps of daffodils in the woods near my home, their bright yellow blooms signaling the arrival of spring year after year. But it wasn't until recently that I stumbled upon the historical significance behind those cheerful flowers.
There's an urgent warning from the state of Missouri health officials about Botox injections gone wrong in Illinois involving counterfeit and mishandled procedures.
If someone could prove that they were a time traveler, you'd probably pay attention to what they said was about to happen, right? If I were you, I wouldn't change my plans based on a prediction for Missouri about a crazy storm from a person who may be the worst time traveler in history - literally.
I have been fortunate to have had many dogs in my lifetime in Missouri. I also have no green thumb skills whatsoever and it's probably better that way as I've learned there are many common plants people keep in their homes in the Show Me State that are harmful to animals.
I've always considered porch lights just the thing that keeps me from falling down my steps at night. For many of my neighbors in Missouri though, they are a way to convey a message and the color matters. I've learned there's a truly heartbreaking reason why many make their porch lights gold.
I have so many questions. A new ranking of states that are supposedly united at the moment asks the question of what happens if they aren't. It states that Illinois is best equipped (literally) to be a state that survives what would almost absolutely be a tragic conflict. Did I mention that I have so many questions?
Have you ever driven past a barn with a colorful star and wondered why? I always assumed it was merely decorative, but as it turns out, there's also much history and symbolism behind these rural icons.
It really does make a lot of sense when you think about it. I've found a genius hack that has inspired many in Missouri to regularly put toothbrushes in their dishwasher. It's a very good idea that I wish I had thought of first.
The best attractions are those you come across that are not planned to see. However, there is one attraction in Illinois that is a must-see to believe.
It all adds up to an astounding amount of money and part of it might be owed to you. The Illinois State Treasurer has announced that there are approximately $1 billion dollars in unclaimed savings bonds in the Land of Lincoln alone. The good news is there's an easy way to check if you're owed part of that money.
You can't see this, but I'm rolling my eyes and haven't stopped since I first learned what the internet thinks is Missouri's loneliest place. It is beyond ridiculous and I can prove it with personal experience and some science, too.
I've never heard of or had bubble tea, but it's all the rage apparently. The brand that was just named the fastest-growing in Illinois is in the process of perfecting bubble tea and it's helped them expand in the Land of Lincoln quickly.
Mother's Day is just around the corner and if you want to do something really special for your mom you should take her to this city in the land of Lincoln, here is what the experts had to say...
It's impossible to be perfect (or so I'm told). But 13 Missouri hospitals just learned they have received a near perfect 'A' grade when it comes to patient safety.
I did so poorly in school that I needed someone to explain to me exactly what it means to get an 'A' grade. That's exactly what's just happened for 22 Illinois hospitals who just received the highest grade possible when it comes to how they provide safety for their patients.
My eyes did a double-take when I saw this as I thought there was no way it could be accurate, but I've learned it is. A new ranking claims the tax burden in Illinois has even surpassed that of California. The numbers don't lie.
