Romance

There's a scam making the rounds in Illinois that can cause you to break the law and get arrested.

Obviously no scam is good, but I would argue the worst are the ones that prey on emotions to rob a person blind or worse. That's why there are urgent warnings for Illinois women to be aware there are current ploys that use text messages to lure victims into romance and banking problems.

Guard your heart. That's not something that was shared in a greeting card on Valentine's Day, but a serious warning just issued for Missouri residents from the Secret Service. Yes, the Secret Service.

If you're in the mood for love and/or some time away from the kids, there's a place in Missouri that might fit your mood. It's adult-only and features a trail that leads to a "Kissing Point" and no, I'm not making that up.

Romance is such a subjective thing. What's romantic for one person might not be for another. However, I think most of us can agree that hot tubs check that box and that's probably why the most romantic location in Illinois is this place with a hot tub in the woods of Union County.

If love is in the air, there's one Missouri option you need to know about. It's a place-to-stay option that was just named the most romantic in the Show Me State probably because it has an indoor outhouse. I'll attempt to explain.

This is terrible on every possible level. There's a report that a Missouri woman fell victim to a romance scam that cost her over $1.2 million dollar and there's a Texas man that's responsible.

When it comes to celebrating romance, most people think of Greece, Italy or France. Now, you need to add Missouri to that list as one Show Me State place was just named as one of the most romantic in the world.

This guy might be a brother from a different mother. He proposed to his girlfriend in front of the lion enclosure at the St. Louis Zoo. Thanks to a video share, you can see what happened. I'll explain why we may be related, too.

This would have to rank as one of the most unique marriage proposals in tri-state history. A chance encounter while looking at Google Maps shows that someone near Keokuk mowed a marriage proposal into a farm field.
