Never been to Missouri....
....but my mom was born in Ava Missouri, my dad McCalister (McAlister?) Oklahoma, they met at the Missouri State Fair. Dad was thrown out of the ring by the carnival rassler, yep, dad trying to win the $$$$$ for lasting a round, he didn't. But he did land at my moms feet, I guess it was...hi
When I think of Missouri it is the Chiefs and then them St.Louis blues, some historically great stuff there, talking Lonnie Johnson, Henry Townsend, Peetie Wheatstraw, Rossevelt Sykes, Walter Davis, Charley Jordan etc etc. Kansas City having Big Joe Turner, Wynonnie Harris, Jay McShann, Lottie Beamon, etc. Way back in the day the great sprinter Jackson Sholz was out of U of Missouri, as was the fastest St. Louis Cardinal Mel Gray, a 9.2 guy. Anyone here remember the St.Louis Cardinals? The first Missouri NFL franchise, the St. Louis Gunners in 1934, they went 1-2 and....poof! No more pro football in Missouri until 1960 and the St. Louis Cardinals. I grew up out here in Calii, my parents moved out here before I was born, we have talked about visiting Ava and McCalister just for the hell of it. |

If you grew up in California, Missouri is going to seem like a different planet. Not in a bad way, it's just a lot different than what you are familiar with.
Kansas City is a really neat town though. I appreciate it more after leaving it. |

On my flight back from San Jose yesterday there were 7 born-and raised Cali kids on their way to basic training for the Army in Missouri. I told them to get ready to sweat.

I grew up in the central valley which is totally different than the bay area and SOCAL (have lived at Hunters Point and San Diego). I can't see Missouri being a whole of a lot different, this is farming country area, actually the ag capital of the world.
