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.

I tend to be naïve and I really would prefer to stay that way. However, the truth must be faced and there's one Missouri town that has sadly become known a one of the most likely places to be raped in America.

If I would have had to guess this, I would have gotten it completely wrong. Did you know that the worst city in Missouri for auto theft isn't Kansas City or St. Louis. It's not Springfield either. No, the most likely place to have your vehicle stolen also happens to be one of the worst in America.

I don't think I would have believed this if I hadn't seen it. A brand new video share shows the drastic change that the ongoing drought has done to a Missouri lake. Jaw-dropping only begins to describe it.

History tells us that Missouri's Jesse James spent almost half of his life as an outlaw and during that time amassed a fortune in gold. Where did he hide it? There are new clues that have surfaced that point to some possibilities.

Who's the richest celebrity to ever call Missouri home? I would have never guessed this in a million years if someone hadn't proved it to me. I'll give you a hint. He's a little "shady".

I know of one Missouri man who's heart is in the right place. He quite literally is responsible for hundreds of animals being warmer during the winter months.

It's definitely one of the most haunted places in St. Joseph and possibly in all of Missouri. It's the Beattie Mansion aka the Haunted House on the Hill. A brand new investigation confirmed this is still one of the creepiest mansions you can possibly set foot in.

Jesse James is one of the most controversial characters in Missouri history. To some he was a hero while many considered him the worst kind of outlaw. There is one home that contains history no one disagrees on. It's the Missouri home where Robert Ford murdered Jesse James.

If you think your job is hard, you should see the warnings given to potential Missouri pony express riders as a poster from the 1860's reveals.
