California

Don't even think about trying to find this tree unless you're willing to do hard time.

I will admit that I'm still trying to figure this one out. A new study regarding people choosing to move to California suddenly includes thousands from Missouri. How can this be?

There's an invasion underway and it's coming from an unexpected place. Did you know that nearly 20,000 residents of one state invaded Illinois in the past year and it's not California.

Thank goodness the cop needed a snack.

It's no secret that when Californians decide to flee the Golden State, many are choosing Illinois as a destination. Those that are leaving the west coast need to be aware that starting a new life in Illinois may not be what they're expecting.

I don't want to giveaway my exact age, but let's just say that I am way overdue to begin my midlife crisis. It's a good thing I live in Missouri because there are no better states I can think of to begin a middle of life meltdown.

In the past year, more than 20,000 California residents made the decision to move to Illinois. Now, because of an issue with water, there could be even more beginning in 2024.

To me, this possibility is unthinkable, but I also tend to be naive. There is a movement to ban gas grills. Could this happen in Missouri? Don't laugh too hard as it's already happening elsewhere.

I was born and raised in Missouri, but lived in California for awhile around 30 years ago so I have background in both states. Even having lived there for a bit, I was absolutely shocked when I saw the population difference between Missouri and just the Los Angeles area. You might be, too.

I don't understand people's fear of Californians, but there's a genuine by some to be where they aren't. If that's you, you might want to consider a fast relocation to Iowa since that's where most Californians aren't.
