O'Fallon

Missouri's place with the largest population gain in the past 4 years is a surprise.

There is a new video of Illinois traffic that has become so viral it has the attention of a state representative and even the Illinois Department of Transportation itself.

When it comes to New Madrid Fault earthquakes, I think I've now seen it all. There was just a tremor that shook a neighborhood in O'Fallon, Illinois Saturday morning.

They're coming. Oh, wait. The truth is they're already here. The notorious cicada brood hatch is now making its way northward in Missouri and there's nothing you can do to stop them.

I'm not trying to downplay the honor because it really is a nice recognition for a Missouri place. However, what the net is declaring one of best places to live in America really is full of lead foot speeders.

I don't tend to put a lot of importance on internet lists, but there are a few that I pay close attention to and this is one of them. In a brand new safest cities list for 2024, you'll fine 2 Missouri and Illinois cities ranked among the 20 safest in the country.

I demand a recount. Oh, wait. I'm getting ahead of myself. There's a new safest cities list that includes two Missouri places. That's the good news. The unbelievable part is that they are located near the 'murder capital' of America and I have so many questions.

When a question comes to my mind, I like to make educated guesses before I research the truth. When it comes to what the richest county is in Missouri, I guessed wrong many times, but I will reveal it's nowhere near Lake of the Ozarks which would have been near the top of my list.

There was a time in my life that I thought I wanted to be a police officer, but I decided I didn't have the heart for it. Perhaps that was a mistake as I've just learned there's a Missouri police force that now drives sweet muscle cars and I want one.

There was an early morning fire in Shiloh, Illinois involving a barn and while some animals did escape, there is a report now that 5 goats did perish in the blaze.
