Life in Missouri is pretty darn sweet, whether we’ve called this beautiful state home our entire lives or for just a short time. When I arrived in Maryland Heights quite a few years ago, I fell in love and felt right at home, even when I traveled throughout the state. There’s so much to love about Missouri – from the insanely good food to the breathtaking landscapes – but it’s the people who make it such an amazing place. One thing that is very clear is that roots in Missouri run deep. Missourians have got a lot to be proud of, and we can even wear that pride on our sleeve now thanks to the Wear Our Roots brand. See if you agree that these are 10 surefire signs you have strong roots in Missouri.
1. We’re all about good food.

2. Meals were meant to start with toasted ravioli.

3. Nobody does BBQ better.

4. Desserts? We do ‘em best.

5. Spending time in/on/around the water is in our DNA.

6. Baseball is, too.

7. We’ve all been to the top of the Arch, and…

8. We’ve explored at least a few caves.

9. A little bad weather doesn’t scare us.

10. Missouri will always be home.

These, of course, are just a few ways that illustrate we have strong roots in Missouri. What else would you add to the list? Let us know in the comments!
