I like to be a positive person, but even the optimistic side of me has a list of Missouri towns that I try to avoid whenever possible and I was born in the Show Me State.

This is not the trivial thought coming from a random internet person. It's one of the most prominent and well-respected travel websites in the world that just named a Missouri place 'America's Tree City' for Christmas.

Normally when you hear anyone discussing crime rates in Missouri, you'll hear St. Louis, Kansas City or Springfield mentioned. Surprisingly, none of those metros has the highest crime index in the state of Missouri though. Number one is a small area with only just over 2,000 residents.

I was genuinely surprised when I learned what Missouri's drunkest cities were. But, it was the one at the top that truly shocked me when it came to alcohol consumption. Cheers?

At less than $110 per night, there is a place in Missouri that celebrates the Holidays big time and won't bust your holiday budget, here are the details...

The era of train travel is slowly fading into the past sadly, but there is still one scenic train ride you can take in Missouri and it's just been named one of the most 'charming' in America.

I'll check my calendar, but I am probably busy that day. But, maybe you're interested in accepting an invitation to a birthday party for a real Missouri 2-headed snake.

There's one place in Missouri that was just declared not only the biggest tourist trap in Missouri, but one of the top 100 in the world.

Some records are just meant to be in Missouri. In this case, it had to be destiny. Yes (in case you're asking), the world's largest toilet paper roll is in the Show Me State.

What is old is now new again. You might have heard that classic roller coaster "Fire in the Hole" was being retired after the 2023 season. There is word now that it's about to be reborn bigger and better than ever at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri.
