re: Went to St. Louis This Weekend

When it comes to SEMO especially, Ole Miss and State are closer or right at the same drive time as Columbia is from the Bootheel. Cold, liberal Mizzou or warm, conservative Mississippi State? It was a no brainer for me. However as far as the state goes I-44 south is pretty southern or the Missouri River south. Ozarks are very similar to Middle Tennessee or Northern Arkansas. The Bootheel is a completely different world from the rest of the state and is in line with the Mississippi, Arkansas, and Louisiana delta area where it’s nothing but flat farm ground and cotton, rice, beans and corn are king.
