Missouri No. 15 on worst roads.

States where roads are in the worst condition
#15. Missouri

- Percent of road mileage in acceptable condition: 75.3% (23,088.9 miles)
- Total road mileage: 30,665.4 miles

Missouri’s poor road conditions have caught the attention of the White House with a steep price tag. The White House Missouri Fact Sheet states infrastructure funding has budgeted an estimated $6.5 billion for highway repairs for the state over the next five years.

Missouri has 2,190 bridges and more than 7,576 miles of highway in unsuitable condition. The significant deficiencies have increased commute times by 5.9% since 2011. For years, Missouri has suffered from a lack of investment. The upside is that the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act is working toward improving the lives of Missouri residents by repairing roads and bridges, focusing on climate change mitigation.

It's an odd list with Tom's Town on there but no other eats/drink places. On another note, when streetcar extensions complete, a guide for things to do along line should be very useful, especially for hotels to hand out (or post QR code to list).

Boulevard is a couple up from it. Probably has to do with what TA classifies them as?

Nothing against the streetcar, but who visits another city just so they can ride a streetcar?

^Pretty much every regional visitor whose town doesn't have one? Not for the purpose of visiting but something to check out when visiting for other reasons, helps it's free fare.

This list isn't *just* visiting to do something. This is making an effort to do something about a list of other items.

We flew into Portland to head to the coast. I didn't quite manage to hop on the streetcar, couldn't make it work but it was my intention originally.
Same in Fort Smith. We went to the national park there but didn't manage to hop on their historic trolley (weird hours I think was the cause)

When I lived in NYC, and had people visiting from out of town, everyone wanted to ride the subway, and the Staten Island ferry.
