I am once again about to sound like the old man in the room. However, I must confess that I really miss the video stores we've had over the years in both Hannibal and Quincy. Be kind. Let's rewind.
I've always figured if we were in the crosshairs of an incoming asteroid, we'd be goners. I've learned that I was kind of wrong. A simulation allows us to find out what would really happen if an asteroid were to hit Quincy, Illinois.

It seems just about everyone in Missouri received a message on their phone Tuesday afternoon that had them wondering if the caped crusader was being beckoned. It referenced Gotham City and a car belonging to the Joker and is now being referred to as an accident.
Of all the unique places you can possibly visit in Branson, this might be my favorite of them all. It's a museum filled with celebrity vehicles from just about every TV show and movie imaginable.
