  I was born and raised in St. Louis ,Mo. After getting married and having children I decided the city life wasn't the life I wanted for my children so the wife and I packed up and moved to Washington County ,Mo about 15 miles from Potosi. We will be here a year in May I am so happy we decided to move to the country the people here are awesome...most of them anyway lol.  Most family and friends ask how do people treat us here being that we are black and I always say " I get treated better now than I ever did in the city" the people here have a since of community and are always willing to lend a helping hand and I make sure to do the same. I wouldn't give this freedom of country living up for nothing.

  When you live in the country it is hard to take a walk on the road because so many people will stop to see if you need a ride.

  I am a native Missourian. I've been here all my life. It's great to have you folks here. We are blessed with your presence.

  Missouri born and raised. Never appreciated my home state until I lived somewhere else. Everything you stated is spot on.

  One of my biggest regrets is moving away from S. W. Missouri after having lived there for 16 1/2 years.  I truly miss the Ozarks.

  Welcome to Missouri. I moved here from the Chicago suburbs in '95. It was the best decision I've made in  my life. I agree about keeping it secret about how great Missouri is, but I can't help but tell everyone 😃

  Stop telling folks about Missouri! We don&apos;t want ALL the crazy, just a few!<br><br>I couldn&apos;t agree more. Born and raised here. Love the diverse climate, although i complain about it. Only because its impossible to plan anything. <br><br>Love too hear about new folks wanting to come here.

  I was born and raised in north Missouri. Always wanted to move to south MO, but haven&apos;t made it yet. Really learned to appreciate my home state after 30 years in ministry and living in Iowa, MN, MT, TX. Finally back in Missouri, and if our kids and grandkids were not in Montana, I&apos;d never consider leaving the Show Me state again. &nbsp;Everything you say about the Ozarks is true. Almost as good here in the northeast corner.

  We are hoping to move to Missouri soon. God has Blessed me with 25 grandsons and 12 grandaughters but my wife and I both have been struggling severe health problems. We live in Oklahoma and the heat and cold are brutal here plus real estate is crazy high. Please Pray for our family as we do y&apos;all. Love and God Bless! Uncle Jeff!

  &quot;Winters are mild&quot; wait until you are stuck inside for a week or so in one of those notorious ice storms.

  Just found y&apos;all. We just bought a place in Ozarks, but in Springfield. I&apos;m too old now to homestead, but love it. Missouri is a nice place. And we also love the Christian community!
