More and more I'm hearing this word used to describe a lifestyle that hasn't been used in nearly 50 years. It's the word "hippie" and there's one part of Missouri that is considered the most "hippie" place in the state and it really is far out - literally.
How much money do you need to possess to be considered rich? OK, so imagine that amount in your mind and let me tell you about someone who far surpasses whatever you're daydreaming about. The richest man in Illinois is 21 times wealthier than even Indiana Jones. I'll explain and prove it with math.

Movies and TV shows have been filmed at different locations in Missouri over the past more than 100 years.

Some you probably knew about, but I found several you wouldn't have guessed in a million years.
If there was ever proof that truth really is stranger than fiction, it's this. It's the (I promise) true story of a woman who was attacked by a shark in Missouri and the shark's name was Bob.
If you love comics, movies and wrestling, you'll want to save some dates in April as a Darth Vader, Marvel artist and WWE star are on their way to Hannibal.
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.
