Had JW friends who live in Fenton, MO. 
Last visited them in 1990.
Going to the top of the arch was fun.

I also think it would make a great place for an outdoors Apostafest..
I could do that if it's when school is out! Yeah, see my JW mother and go to an apostofest all at one time. Oh, dear!!!
Ha Ha Tonka is pretty too. LOTS of hiking trails.

Isn't Missouri part of the Bible Belt in the US?
The grand Missouri River is gorgeous and I for one would love to go there and visit. However they have their fare share of twisters and tornados. And severe flooding. It is lush and green.
Yes an Apostofest would be grand.

I went to St Louis with a friend and had a great time there.
I await a response with baited breath!

Like Big Tex said, it hearkens back to the bitterness between northern and southern states.
Missouri was admitted to the Union in what is known as the "Missouri compromise." Briefly, Missouri was admitted as a slave state at the same time that Maine was admitted as a free state. In this way the balance of power between free and slave states was maintained (This brought the total to 12 and 12) and the evil of slavery was perpetuated.
During the Civil War, the bad feeling between Missouri and neighboring states intensified with the activities of various individuals and factions like Bloody Bill Anderson, William Quantrill, Jim Lane, the Jayhawkers, the Redlegs and Bushwackers.

Awh, you must have visited my old KH. Now I go back to party with my df'd friends. Oh yeah, and to see my family that I left behind just to find some brother... any brother to marry me. Well, that didn't work out so good, Thank Ned!
I'd love to move back, but I have a husband and kids now.

I rode to St Louis on the back of a mule over a 9 day stretch.
Then I drove the port a potty that housed 300 juvies the next time the trip came around. Gives a new meaning to trail riding.
I have been back to Missouri 3 times this year. twice at the end of last year. This is what I was shown!!
