Cities in Missouri, not the state.
Folks from certain stats can’t keep saying “CITIES not the state”
Those cities do in fact belong to your state whether you want them to or not.
No one makes a distinction between staten island and manhattan when they talk about nyc.
though the 2 couldn’t be more different.
People from those states need to own up to the fact that the cities are INDEED as much a part of that state as anywhere else.
