(after the Statue of Liberty & Mt. Rushmore); the St. Louis Arch, signifying the importance of MO to the colonization of the Western US.Like OH, we're a pretty evenly divided slice of the US. Population & whoever wins Missouri often wins the Presidential Election.  Thus MO often has a much greater impact in election years than her population would suggest.  (Though Republicans have really started to dominate in the aftermath of Democratic Gov Bob Holden, one of the least popular, yet most intensly HATED politicans in Missouris history).Mo has a loty of state parks & more caves than any other state in the union.  We got Branson!  (sort of like Las Vegas for hicks).KC. heavily influenced the Blues & BBQ.Several products were introduced at the St. Louis World's Fair at the beginning of the century (I can't remember what they were).MO was one of the 'Battleground' states of the Civil War, as it was pretty evenly divided between North & South.  Some of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War were fought here & the scars of (physical & social) still abound in this state.  Northern Mo is thought of as a "Northern" state, while Southern Mo is thought of as a "Southern" State.  Where I live, in Boonville, MO (Small Town about an hour West of St. Louis) we had 2 civil war battles.  In fact, the town theatre still stands from that time & the bricks still have the holes where civil war bullets hit it.  Our house, built in 1930, was made from the bricks of the old Main Street, which Union Troops marched down to meet the Confederate Forces attacking the town.  Although not thought of as a "Tourist" Stop.  Missouri has more than enough to keep somebody busy during a vacation (really long if you like outdoorsy stuff).</blockquote>
