Movies

Despite the fact that the movie Groundhog Day was based on an annual event in Pennsylvania, it was not filmed there. No, virtually all of the famous scenes were captured in a real town in Illinois and you can see what they look like today.

I went to St. Louis this past weekend for opening weekend baseball, and I couldn't believe the number of celebrities I saw. So that got me thinking, which celebrity might you encounter when you visit the Show-Me State?

Movies and TV shows have been filmed at different locations in Missouri over the past more than 100 years. I've found several lists which features a fairly comprehensive list of movies and TV shows that were shot on location in the Show Me State. 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.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If the beholder happens to be a former or present convict, I have found what they'll likely consider to be a very beautiful potential home. It's a former Missouri detention center that also happens to be quite historic.

Every state is being rated these days on how 'sinful' they are. How does Missouri stack up on the wicked meter? Let's find out.

Get ready to have a movie experience you've never had before.

When you think of lifestyles of the rich and famous, perhaps you don't think about Missouri. Think again. I've compiled a list of celebrities that you stand a real chance of running into in the Show Me State plus a couple of longshots, too.
