well I grew up on the Missouri side, had family on both sides of the line, I HATE it there. The weather sux, way to humid and hot in the summer, and its just stupid cold in the winter.
I got out of there as fast as I could (joined the army) Im now in Colorado and absolutly love it. I use to go back just, for Christmas, not anymore, I make family come out here, lol if I ever go back there, it will be to soon
