Some records are just meant to be in Missouri. In this case, it had to be destiny. Yes (in case you're asking), the world's largest toilet paper roll is in the Show Me State.
What is old is now new again. You might have heard that classic roller coaster "Fire in the Hole" was being retired after the 2023 season. There is word now that it's about to be reborn bigger and better than ever at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri.
There are lots of places in this part of Missouri for families with kids to stay at. This isn't one of them. It's an adults-only vacation option in Branson, Missouri that has gorgeous waterfalls, but kids aren't allowed and there are no exceptions.
This restaurant is famous for having something on the menu for the whole family to enjoy, from toddlers to grandpas, and every family member in between. But you can only find this place in one town in the Show-Me State...
I don't mean to question what I've just come across, but I will admit that I'm surprised to hear pretty much any hotel in Missouri referred to as "one of the best in the world". That's exactly what's happened to a scenic place to stay in Branson.
It's easy to find great vacation locations if you have a lot of money. What if you don't? The good news is one of the cheapest vacations in America that's still fun is in Missouri. The options there are plentiful and most won't cost you an arm and a leg.
There are big plans in the works for a massive new theme park that's set to be located along Route 66 right across the Missouri border. Developers are investing an incredible $2 billion dollars into the project.
I could give you 5 guesses as to what Missouri town has the highest total crime rate and I'd bet there's a good chance you wouldn't come up with the right answer. I will confess that the same is true of me. I learned the highest total crime rate exists in a town of less than 13,000 residents.
This was a big surprise to me and I believe that many will likely feel the same way. A small Missouri town that previously has not been considered a bad place to live has suddenly jumped up to become the 3rd most dangerous city in the state of Missouri.
