Doug Stephan's Good Day

Overrated and underrated are absolutely subjective words. One person's trash is another's treasure and so on. However, the fact that a teeny tiny Missouri town was just declared the most underrated in the state isn't wrong in my opinion and I think I can prove it with science.

I found a claim that I think is worth debating. Is Illinois really home to the most dangerous ghost town in America? Some statistics say yes, but let's dig deeper to see if it's really true.

There's a curious claim from the vast farmlands of Iowa. A new ranking says the best taco in the state comes from a burger joint. Really?

If you were to guess what dog is the most loved in history, what would you say? Lassie. Sorry, but that's unfortunately close but wrong. Benji? Nope. Not that one. I'll give you a hint. The most loved dog in history is in Missouri and he has his own memorial garden and mural.

UFO encounters are admittedly a dime a dozen. However, you'll likely never hear an account from a more credible account than this one. It's from a retired lawyer and former Assistant Attorney General and it began in Missouri. Oh, and this UFO encounter didn't last just a few minutes. It's carried on for years.

The machines are taking over. What was just a fictional premise in The Terminator movies is now reality. Don't believe me? Watch creepy artificial intelligence seem to bring Hannibal's favorite son Mark Twain back to life.

Someone is gonna have some explaining to do. A 'crazy looking cat' was found by a Missouri farmer who was shocked to learn the animal is native to Africa. What?

Some people believe in miracles while others don't. No matter which side you find yourself on, I believe you'll have to admit that it's remarkable that a train in Missouri slammed into a tractor-trailer yet there were no injuries reported.

A few days ago 5 inmates that escaped from a Missouri detention center were apprehended. Thanks to new dashcam video, you can see the moment that these convicts were captured while fleeing police.

Illinois is like any other state in that it has large metro areas and tiny towns. Which one is the smallest? It's actually a somewhat complicated answer that appears to be a tie...or is it?
