With all this region talk, let's define who's where ITT

[Cards1968]

I've always used US 63 and I-70 as the borders, but what to do with border towns? West Plains, Thayer, Rolla, Jeff City, Columbia, Moberly, Macon, Kirksville on 63. All the I-70 towns. StL and KC schools. It would be nice to know where everyone is so we can have a proper brew-ha-ha.

Oh, and my apologies if I left out your US 63 school. I'm looking at you Houston.

There is a conference in NW MO called hwy 275 conference. Yet as far as I can tell there is no highway 275 through any of the towns.

To me I define the regions as:

Kansas City region - Kansas border to Highway 65 west to east. Hwy 24/Hwy 10/Hwy 92 to the north. Highway 54 to the south.
Central Missouri region - Highway 65 to Highway 19 west to east. Hwy 24/Hwy 154 north. Hwy 54/Hwy 7/I-44 to the south.
St. Louis region - Highway 19 to Illinois border west to east. Hwy 154/Hwy 54 to the north. From Sullivan to DeSoto line in the south.
Southeast Missouri region. Highway 19 east to Illinois border. Everything from Potosi south to Arkansas border.
Southwest Missouri region - Highway 19 west to Kansas/Oklahoma border. Highway 54/Highway 7/I-44 line the north border.
Northwest Missouri region - Hwy 24/Hwy 10/Hwy 92 south border, everything else north to Iowa. Kansas/Nebraska border to Hwy 5.
Northeast Missouri region. Hwy 5 to Illinois border. Hwy 24/Hwy 154 the southern border.

Highway 275 comes down out of Iowa and ends in Rock Port.

I could be wrong, but it's a possibility that highway 136 used to be 275 wayyyyy back in the day. Which would cover roughly half the schools in that conference.

275 was the old north-south road through area before I-29 was built. It was also called the Tarkio Road of Brewer and Shipley fame.

A lot of people that aren't from the area don't know that they used to party and hang out at Tarkio College back in its heyday. And that song was written about that exact road.
I'm not from tarkio, but lived up there for about 4-5 years in my youth.

"one toke over the line..."

Except when Lawrence Welk did it then it was "One toe over the line" He thought it was a religious song.
