A Missouri town of just 170 people still tempts day-trippers to pull off the interstate. That number comes straight from the 2020 census. It’s smaller than plenty of high school graduating classes. The town grew up beside the railroad and a winding river. When the trains stopped meaning everything,...

You know where everything is in your Schnucks. The rules at the register are sometimes another story. Some come straight from the store, and others come from Missouri’s state agencies.

The House Lounge on the third floor of the Missouri Capitol, home of Thomas Hart Benton's mural "The Social History of Missouri" (Tim Bommel/Missouri House Communications).The bronze bust of John Brown by Kansas sculptor Jim Brothers has the passion and movement of any Hellenistic masterpiece. Louis Copt’s painting of the Fox Creek Schoolhouse on the Kansas Tallgrass Prairie rivals the great Dutch master Johannes Vermeer’s “View of Delft.” The work of these fellow Midwesterners fires my imagination, inspires me, compels me to work harder, and pushes me to be a better teacher and writer.
The Devil's Icebox… arguably a fitting name for a gateway to the underworld, blasting unseasonable cold air where elusive, blind, pink albino flatworms live, with pitch-black hidden passages humans can’t reach.
