There is no better place in the Midwest to call home than Missouri. We have amazing sports, great beer, unique food, big cities with small town vibes, and the friendliest residents. Growing up in Missouri is great but there are some rather interesting side effects including…
- Missourians are proud of this place we call home. We’ve even been know to brag about it…
Ken Ratcliff/Flickr Whether you’re from the bigger cities or small rural towns there is no better place to grow up than Missouri. It truly is the best of the Midwest.
- You know actual farmers. Heck, your college roommate probably studied agriculture…

- You show up for your team regardless of the weather…
Kelly/Flickr Missourians love their sports teams. We will show up rain or shine, sleet or snow. We are either bundled up for that Chiefs game or sweating it out at Kauffman and Busch Stadium. Either way we’re there cheering on our teams!
- Getting gas here doesn’t phase you…
Kum & Go/Facebook We know the jokes. Just fill up and move on.
- You might wear camo in public…
Mighty June/Flickr We don’t all wear camo in public but we all know someone who does. Heck, you probably had a camo day at least once during high school.
- You have VERY strong feelings about both of these teams…
Kelly/Flickr If you’re from the east side of the state it’s likely you loathe the Rams. If you’re from the west side of the state you’ve been loving the Chiefs all your life and you’re happy to welcome some new fans to the Kingdom.
- Packing for Missourians can be kind of complicated..

- You know where the best barbecue comes from…
Eric Mueller/Flickr Barbecue from outside of the Show Me State just can’t compare. We love that sweet and smokey barbecue sauce and burnt ends are eaten on purpose. Trust us, we know what were doing with our meats.
- You have strong feelings about these people even though you’ve never met them…
Dean Hochman/Flickr Although the Border War may be over it lives on in our hearts. Honestly, we’re still hoping for another match-up so we can add to those Football wins!
- You know good beer…
Quinn Dombrowski/Flickr Missouri has really embraced the craft beer boom. It’s no surprise really with our deep history in the American brewing scene. So grab a cold one in Missouri and enjoy good beer with some friendly people.
