Just wondering how many of us are from Missouri? It's a great place to live. In the middle of it all. You can find city life as well as, very country life. I haven't lived here all my life but have been living in Missouri since 1992. I wouldn't trade for California ever again. Missouri has strong morals and interesting people. Are you one?

Wishing you all success!

    My parents live in Branson (just moved from Hollister) and they love it. They've lived there since 2003. We are all from Wisconsin, but I live in Chicago now. I get down there to see them a couple times a year. I enjoy visiting, so I can see why you wouldn't choose Cali over Mo!

    Thanks for responding... I forgot I made this post (silly me). If you can appreciate the beauty of the Ozarks then you can be an honorable Missourian

    I was born and raised in Missouri. Wish I could move back. I lived in a little teeny tiny town called Livonia right up by the Iowa line. Went to high school in Unionville. I :heart: Missouri.

    I'm close to Missouri, but where I come from we call it Mizzou and you're the bad guys.

    :laugh: I lived in Junction City for several years (my son was born there) and worked on Ft. Riley for a while. I loved Kansas almost as much as I love Missouri. :smile:
