I live in St. Joseph, Missouri....Which is famous for several things:
1) St. Joseph is where the Pony Express was located, the stables is one of the coolest museums I've ever been in.
2) St. Joseph is were Jesse James was shot and killed.
3) The Chase and Poe candy company is located here, which makes the (in)famous Cherry Mash candy.
4) Up until a few years ago, when the plant shut down, our Mead Company plant was the only one in the nation that produced Big Chief writing tablets.
5) Eminem (Mr. Marshall Mathers) spent a good portion of his childhood here. His mother, grandmother, and little brother still live here (it's where they're originally from)...and I can tell you from experience....HE'S NOT LYING ABOUT HIS FAMILY....they're NOT nice people by any stretch of the imagination.
We have a population of about 79.000, give or take, and Missouri Western State College is located here. There are only 4 highschools...but you can't spit without hitting either a bar or a church. We are about an hour to the north of Kansas City, and about 3 hours to the south of Omaha, Nebraska.
