Many believe the cryptid Ozark Howler is simply a folk monster like Momo. The Ozark Howler has been brought forward in oral traditions as a creature of the Ozark Mountains. The Ozark Mountains span parts of Missouri and Arkansas and have been home to this legendary creature that has captured the imagination of many. This elusive animal has been described as a large, black, and shaggy creature. Some say it looks like a very large cat. It's also been reported in numerous sightings, stories of which have been passed down through generations. Many wonder if the Ozark Howler is a real creature or simply a myth.

Wyoming State

WyoFile has acquired a photograph of a lynx in Wyoming, a landmark observation of a species currently considered absent from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022. There was no doubt in his mind what it was: a tom lynx, judging by its blocky head.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

By the end of the year, the owners of Kentucky Speedway will have paid Gallatin County more than $900,000 for tickets never sold to races never run. NASCAR abandoned the racetrack following the 2020 Quaker State 400, but a 20-year PILOT agreement (Payments In Lieu Of Taxes) obligates Speedway Motorsports Inc. to two annual payments through 2031: a $180,000 lump sum and a $1 per ticket fee with a $230,000 minimum, even if the venue remains vacant.

Rax hasn't been in Missouri for a long time. As Rax fizzled out of your community, it was probably converted into an Arby's or Fazoli's. Today, there are only a handful open in Illinois, Kentucky, and Ohio. It also doesn't appear that Rax has an official website any longer. The specialty, of course, was that roast beef sandwich. By the way, Arby's continues to do well.
