A popular travel magazine ranked the 26 Most Beautiful Towns in America, so how many of them are from the Land of Lincoln? The list has me very confused.

Big cities are inherently fun, right? So why does Kansas City rank so low on the list of the most fun cities in the United States? Is Kansas City actually boring?

In real estate, the mantra is location, location, location. If that's true and you happen to love the Kansas City Chiefs, you might be interested to know that there's land just south of Arrowhead Stadium.

My mom used to dress up our family dog up in coats then she'd tell everyone how much the dog loved it. I suspect the same philosophy may be at work with an Illinois dog named Bradford that his owner says "loves" her piano playing.

Escape rooms are all the rage and if you're up for a potential road trip, heads up that there's a St. Louis place that has an escape room themed after "The Wizard of Oz".

If you live in Illinois or Missouri, this is just one of the many things that can happen during your morning commute. A lone cow who got loose put a stop to vehicles recently because he/she can.

What in the world is happening in Kansas City these days. If this story is any indication, pure insanity as a news report says police recently chased someone's pet camel through the city.

As a dog lover, and for that matter animal lover, this story breaks my heart, and hope there is a happy ending for all the puppies.

I have never stayed in an Airbnb, but this rustic-themed house may change my mind.

A website published an article claiming there are 9 Iconic Foods from STL that you have to try, but are they the 9 foods that you would recommend to people when you go to St. Louis?

When men are left alone to solve problems, things like this...happen. A lady shared video of a man who just got himself a Christmas tree. He decided to transport it home in a way only Clark Griswold could completely understand.

Things are done differently in St. Louis, Missouri compared to the rest of the state and that's especially true about driving. Wild video proves this point as a St. Louis driver was just spotted doing donuts through an intersection.

One day, many years ago, this country suffered a surprise attack from a foreign force. About 3,000 lives were lost, and America was never the same.

Obviously, Las Vegas is the Most Sinful City in America, but the second most sinful city is in Missouri, and no it's not Branson...

If you daydream about golf, I may have found the perfect Quincy home for you. It quite literally has two golf course holes in the backyard.

I will admit that I don't understand a lot of things, but how a facility like this can be abandoned for 20 years and still have millions of dollars of equipment inside is beyond me.

One of my favorite comedians likes to joke about everyone talking about their love of hiking online. If you really do like to get out and really do hiking, you should know about Buford Mountain in Missouri. It's a rocky hike, but has a sweet view as a payoff at the end. Oh, and it's an old volcano.

It's no secret that this is the busiest delivery season of the year. One delivery man faced the ultimate challenge as a friendly dog kept returning the package he was trying to leave at a home over and over again.

Do you remember how crazy it became in early December of 1990 when a man predicted a massive earthquake on the New Madrid Fault? It truly became a media spectacle with only one problem. The earthquake never happened.

At this time of year, when so many of us are in shopping mode, I found myself looking back at what was, in its time, Hannibal's prime shopping experience.

Looking to find the best town for Christmas, well you don't have to travel far from the Trii-States to find them.

We've already had a relatively mild late Fall as far as temps and precipitation goes. If a new forecast is correct, Missouri and Illinois are in for a relative heat wave in the middle of December.

There are a lot of towns who are trying new things to convince potential residents to move there. For example, Grafton has a program where they are more or less paying you to move there. In this case, the details are extra important here.

Two Hannibal men face charges in connection with a shooting incident last Friday.

If there is one rodent that I despise overall it's squirrels, this one (caught on a Ring door camera) just adds to my dislike of these pests.

I could just share this viral video of a Midwestern fox getting tickled, but no, let's take that a step further. Not only can you enjoy this cute moment, but you can adopt him (if you're in Missouri).

I'm a history nut and that makes me being born and raised in Missouri poetic justice. I get to look inside historic places like Daniel Boone's Missouri mansion that was built in the early 1800's and then share that with you.
