I keep hoping that somehow we'll see a turn for the better for brick and mortar retail stores. Unfortunately, that rebound has yet to happen for stores like Best Buy who has already closed 24 stores including at least 1 in Missouri and reports say that up to 15 more will follow.
It's not completely unexpected, but still sad that Big Lots announced today that they're closing more than 300 stores and I've confirmed that includes a half dozen locations in Missouri.
I have been a radio guy for more than 40 years and a tech nerd almost as long. That's why I tend to spend a lot of time exploring new technologies including artificial intelligence. I asked the "robots" some questions and got some surprising answers including 6 places in Missouri the "machines" say you should avoid at all costs.
It's time to face the fact that the era of shopping malls in Missouri is nearly over. Very few remain that thrive and a recent walk through one that hasn't closed yet shows what little remains inside these nearly dead Missouri shopping places.
While I was born and raised in Missouri, I will admit that not every place in my birth date is ideal. There are some so-called experts who claim you should specifically avoid 14 Missouri places no matter what. Let's see if you agree with their conclusions.
It's been a disturbing trend so far in 2024 where many Missouri restaurants have shut their doors forever. Chili's has just joined that group by closing a Missouri location and reports say that many more are to follow.
Everyone has an opinion about Missouri places, but I tend to trust the opinions of those that actually live there instead of any old random internet person's perspective. That's why I trust what locals say are the absolutely worst 8 towns in the state of Missouri.
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.
