Just when you think you've heard every possible story about a Missouri creature in the woods, something new surprises you. That's what happened to me when I came across a new story of a Missouri man who says he saw a massive creature while hunting for mushrooms.

I would make a terrible cashier. How do I know? I've gone through self-checkout so many times and it's almost always been a miserable experience. For people like me, it's great news that a Missouri store is about to remove all of its self-checkout lanes and it appears to be the first of many that will do so.

As a kid growing up in Missouri, I learned fast to understand the difference between my parents asking me to do something or them telling me to do something. That lesson is coming in handy as I can tell that Missouri wants me to stop unnecessarily idling my car engine - or else.

He came so close. A Missouri boy just caught one of the biggest sunfish in history and came within an ounce of shattering the state record for a fish like this.

I had to check the calendar to make sure it wasn't April 1. There's an urgent recall of popular detergent pods in Missouri and the danger of serious injury is no joke.

I am not alone in my admiration of the TV series American Pickers. I ran into one of the hosts in Missouri several years ago, but that's not the news I have to share with you. I've learned that American Pickers is coming to Missouri this June and you can be on their show.

I think alligators are amazing creatures. I'd like to see one, but there's the whole "it might bite your arm off" problem. There is new video of an alligator that really is in Missouri, but it's probably fine.

One of the great things about the internet is the ability to spread information. One of the worst things about the internet is the ability to spread inaccurate or old information. I'm going to attempt to clarify something I'm seeing shared about the 'brand Americans trust the least' because there are 50 Illinois locations and I have questions (and you should, too).

The internet needs to make up its mind. One day it claims that Missouri is a training ground for teams of murderers. The next it says we're so happy we have sunshine coming out of our ears. That's the case for a new ranking that says Missouri is home to one of the happiest places in America and I can almost guarantee that you'll be surprised where.

Since I was born and raised in Missouri, I've been to and through St. Louis many times. I've also traveled through many ghost towns which is why I'm perplexed at a new study that claims this big metro is really a 'modern ghost town'. There's some real science that proves that really is the case.
