Saint Louis

by traveldave

Saint Louis was founded in 1764 when French explorers established a settlement on the muddy banks of the Mississippi River.Following the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1804, trappers and explorers used the small settlement as a jumping-off point for their voyages to the far West. The explorers and trappers returned to Saint Louis to sell their pelts and tell tales of the West. Later, pioneers left Saint Louis in their covered wagons on their way to the Rocky Mountains and beyond. This gave rise to the city's nickname of "Gateway to the West."The city's location just downstream from where the Missouri River merges with the Mississippi River ensured that Saint Louis would become an important transportation center for the region. Its dominance as a commercial center was helped by railroad bridges built over the Mississippi River that connected the city to the east. Nowadays, Saint Louis is...

Missourians have a weird habit of stoppin in the middle of the road for the yellow hazard lights atop of tow trucks. Jus slow down a little (do not stop) and move to the side of the road a little for the tow truck to pass.

Border States

by grandmaR

When we visited Missouri in January, it has snowed, so I don't usually think of Missouri as a southern state.While I have been traveling around the south in the winter, I've visited various Revolutionary and Civil War sites. When I visited Wilson's Creek, I found out that Missouri, like Maryland was officially a Border State.The so-called 'border states' include the states south of the Mason Dixon line that had slaves but did not secede. This included Delaware (which never considered secession), Maryland (which was put under martial law and secessionist leaders were arrested and jailed), Virginia (and West Virginia seceded from Virginia after Virginia seceded from the Union), Kentucky which was VERY important to the Union, and Missouri. In Missouri, the state government under secessionist Governor Claiborne F. Jackson, evacuated the state capital of Jefferson City and met in exile. They...

"Show Me" State

by grandmaR

The motto on the Missouri license plates is "Show Me". But Missouri is the only state I've been to recently where there was no visitor's center on the roads entering the state. I was on US 65 - maybe that's not a major enough road. So I guess Missouri wants me to show them, but doesn't want to Show ME.When I look for the Welcome Centers on the internet, I find that in Missouri, these are only on the Interstates. They are I-29 in Rockport (northwest), I-44 in Joplin (west), I-55 in Marston (east), and I-70 in Chain of Rocks (southeast). This is in contrast to Virginia which has 11 welcome centers. The Missouri DMV website says:Missouri's License Plate Design"Missouri's standard license plate design was created in 1996 by St. Louis artist Bill O'Donnell. His design features the state name in green block letters with a wavy blue line to represent the state's many rivers, lakes, and...

Missouri Welcome Centers

by Stephen-KarenConn

The state of Missouri operates six welcome centers, located at the major highway entrances to the state. These are excellent resources for maps, directions or brochures about attractions, events, restaurants, and hotels. They are also a great place to take a break or ask advice about road conditions, weather, accomodations, etc. The locations and telephone numbers of the Welcome Centers are as follows:Hannibal:Highway 61573-248-2420JoplinHighway Rest Area, I-44417-629-3030Kansas CityBlue Ridge Cutoff, I-70816-889-3330New MadridMarston Rest Area, I-55573-643-2659Rock PortHwy Rest Area, I-29660-774-6300St. LouisI-270 at Ridgeview Drive314-869-7100Visit Missouri

Very Light Traffic

by Bwana_Brown

Although Kansas City, Missouri has a population of just under 500,000 both the city street and sidewalk traffic seemed to be very light. This 11 AM Friday view from the Hyatt Regency hotel shows a few cars parked along the streets but even fewer actually driving.This was good, it just made it that much easier for me when I picked up my rental car and drove back into the downtown area for some extra sightseeing before I took off on my drive down through Kansas!

Kansas City, Largest City in Central Missouri

by deecat

For a long time, people elsewhere thought of Kansas City as a "hick" town where you could get a good steak to eat.Times have changed! This up-and-coming town has a lyric opera, a ballet company, a modern zoo, and a baseball (Royals) team and a football (Kansas City Chiefs) team. One of KC's names is CITY OF FOUNTAINSbecause it is home of more fountains than any city in the world besides Rome. Today, it's an unwritten policty to incorporate a fountain into the design of new commercial buildings. THE FIREFIGHTERS FOUNTAIN was completed in 1991, and is one of the largest in the city. There is a memorial terrace with the names of the city's fallen firefighters carved in granite. See the photo.In addition, there's a great new futuristic BARTLE HALL SCULPTURES. ART is BIG in Kansas City.The Nelson-Atkins Museum has a wonderful Oriental Art collection; The Kansas City studio of artist Thomas...

Southwest Missouri: Visit in Spring or Fall

by deecat

Southwest Missouri has a great deal to offer: Mark twain National Forest covers thousands of acres, there are many caves to explore, and the third largest city in Missouri (Springfield) is located here.Springfield is on Interstate 44 and is surrounded by some of the most beautiful areas in the state. It reminded me of where my parents lived in the state of Kentucky. Springfield has a Commercial Street Historic District that you should visit. And, if you love railroads, you should go to Frisco Railroad Museum. (543 East Commercial Street). Alan Schmitt, who owns it, has a huge collection of Frisco memorabilia. His hobby became to big so with some other former Frisco employees, he first opened in his garage. But with the help of lots of people, he then opened at Frisco's old centralized traffic control command center and called it Frisco Museum. Now, there is a new 9,000-sq.-ft. building...

More "Tidbits" About the State of Missouri

by deecat

I always do research before I travel so that I'm somewhat "in the know" whenever I reach my destination. Here are some interesting "tidbits" that I discovered about Missouri.Did you know that Bob Cummings, Don Johnson, Bradd Pitt, John Goodman, Walt Disney, and Kathleen Turner all have some connection to the state of Missouri?While in Missouri in April, 2004, we stayed very near Bonne Terre, and I discovered that Jacques Cousteau filmed a "deep-earth dive" in Bonne Terre!Did you know that almost all of Missouri's larger cities began as river ports? What are these cities, you ask?Jefferson City (the capital), Kansas City, Saint Charles (the first capital), Westport (formerly Westport Landing), Lexington, Saint Joseph, Washington, Boonville, and Hermann. What about Hannibal, St. Louis, Ste. Genevieve, New Madrid, and Cape Girardeau? The were all ports of call on the Mississippi I found...

What Are Missouri Favorites?

by deecat

I remember as a child listening to the radio and anxiously awaiting "The Hit Parade". One of my favorite songs was "The Missouri Waltz". The "Missouri Waltz" became the state song of Missouri in 1949. It was first published in 1914, but the song did not do well, and most people considered it a failure. Sales certainly increased when Harry S. Truman became president. Folks say that the "Missouri Waltz" was his favorite song.Not until 1995 did the Missouri Mule become the official state animal. I have always been fond of mules because it is a hybrid. It is the offspring of a mare (female horse) and a jack (a male donkey). The mule was introduced to Missouri in the 1820s and farmers and settlers used them and admired their hardy nature. Missouri mules pulled pioneer wagons to the Wild West and moved troops and supplies in World Wars I and II. Missouri has been a premier mule producer.As a...
