When I tell you that there's a tire-killing pothole on a Missouri highway, I speak from my own personal experience. I'll tell you exactly where the current tire villain is so hopefully you can avoid my fate.

The Grand Reopening is set for TNT Kartways in West Quincy!

Twenty five years later people are still asking "would the levee have held back the rising water on it’s own?" Only God knows.

I was reminiscing with a friend a little this week about the anniversary of the West Quincy Levee break which is coming up. I got to thinking about making a few stops at Merkels Hardware for batteries and a flashlight and some other things.  The conversation shifted to the businesses that were open then and are not today, like Merkels.

If you were around Quincy 27 years ago today, you know where you were when you heard the news that the levee in West Quincy failed to hold the Mississippi River.

Jordan Law of Quincy posted a warning to area residents on her Facebook page on Sunday night. In the status, she details an eerie occurrence in West Quincy in which two people played dead on the side of Highway 24, supposedly waiting for an unsuspecting good Samaritan to stop and check on them. What happened next is downright scary.
