“Missouri is southern.”
By the grace of God.
Hahaha. Don’t take that as a knock on the big MO. My grandparents were from Tennessee/Alabama and I love everything southern. Which means I know when I’m in a southern state. It’s a completely different attitude.
When I go to Missouri the first town is St. Francisville right on the border, and it’s a completely different world from Vincennes, IA one mile to the north. It’s not a subtle shift.
