    My aunt, who is a Poplar Bluff native, told me one of the best jokes I’ve ever heard: “If you cut off the boot heel and gave it to Arkansas, you’ll instantly double the IQ of both states.” 🤪

    I was born in the Bootheel and graduated high school in the Bootheel, but I am a proud Arkansan through and through!

    I grew up in the Southern Missouri Ozarks and I always loved the story of how we got our Bootheel...

    Should have been Arkansas. Missouri. Great farmland from this shady land deal.😬

    Dont get me wrong, I am a proud Missourian but we should have remained in Arkansas. If only the Gov't of AR and MO would allow it secession would benefit both states. Missouri could care less about the region.

    Maybe instead of secession expansion?
