Missouri ranks one of the worst states for internet connectivity
JONESBORO, Ark. (KAIT) – According to a study, Missouri ranks as one of the lowest states for internet connectivity, but changes are in the works to improve it.
According to the director of Missouri’s Office of Broadband Development, about 200,000 underserved locations are funded or are in development now.
This comes after the state approved over $260 million to improve broadband, and the Biden Administration put $1.7 billion dollars toward Missouri’s internet infrastructure in June.
The director said they plan to put the remaining funds towards about 250,000 other locations in need of service.

Missouri softball live score updates vs. Indiana in NCAA Columbia Regional
The rest of Missouri softball’s regional games have a simple picture: Win or hang up the bats for the season.

Regional 2-seed Washington and No. 4-seed Omaha were facing off in the winner’s bracket for a direct berth in Sunday’s championship. Missouri, in order to extend its season by another day, must eliminate Indiana and then defeat the loser of the Huskies-Washington matchup later Saturday.
Missouri, coached by Larissa Anderson since 2019, reached the championship in the 2024 SEC Softball Tournament, knocking off Ole Miss, Arkansas and LSU before falling to Florida in the title game. The Tigers, who are 43-16 this season, have more wins than in any other season under Anderson.
Mizzou last advanced to an NCAA Super Regional in 2021, when the Tigers fell to James Madison. MU has fallen in the regional round every other season in Anderson’s tenure.
Mizzou’s bats went cold in a 3-1, extra-inning loss to Omaha on Friday evening, which means the Tigers are now on the brink of another season ending at the regional stage.
The NCAA Columbia Regional started Friday and will run through Sunday, when the championship will be played. You can find live score updates from Missouri’s elimination game against the Hoosiers here:

People Magazine's 'Most Beautiful' Missouri Restaurant is Wrong
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder which is one reason why I will rarely ever criticize what someone else thinks is beautiful, but in the case of People Magazine’s choice for the most beautiful Missouri restaurant they’re dead wrong.
People Magazine (oh, wait…magazines aren’t much of a thing anymore so let’s just call them “People”) says that Grünauer in Kansas City is (in their eyes) the most beautiful Missouri restaurant. Here’s the view of their restaurant if you’re about to walk in.
And here’s the view if you’re standing outside of Grünauer.
No offense intended to Grünauer as I hear it’s a spectacular place to eat, but “beauty” is not a word that comes to mind when you’re staring at a parking lot in downtown Kansas City.
Let me suggest that People could have made a better choice when it comes to “beautiful” Missouri restaurants. How about The Blufftop at Rocheport Les Bourgeois Vineyards with this view.
If you’re sitting at a table at this spectacular Missouri winery, you have this view.
Again I want to emphasize nothing against the People Magazine choice for Missouri’s most beautiful restaurant since that’s a very subjective thing, but don’t you think this would have been a more compelling choice?
