The closest saltwater beaches to Missouri are those in the northern Gulf Coast on the southern edges of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. They can be reached from most points in Missouri within 10-12 hours by car.

MISSOURI LANGUAGES (Encyclopedia.Com)


White pioneers found Missouri Indians in the northern part of what is now Missouri Osage in the central portion, and Quapaw in the south. Long after these tribes' removal to Indian Territory, only a few place-names echo their heritage: Missouri itself, Kahoka, Wappapello.
Four westward-flowing language streams met and partly merged in Missouri. Northern and North Midland speakers settled north of the Missouri River and in the western border counties, bringing their Northern " Pail " and " Sick to the Stomach " and their North Midland " Fishworm " (earthworm), gunnysack (burlap bag), and " Sick at the Stomach." But " Sick in the Stomach " occurs along the Missouri River from St.Louis to Kansas City and along the Mississippi south of St.Louis. South of the Missouri River, and notably in the Ozark Highlands, South Midland dominates, though with a few Southern forms, especially in the cotton-growing floodplain of the extreme southeast. Wait on (Wait for), light bread (white bread), and pullybone (wishbone) are critical dialect markers for this area, as are redworm (earthworm), towsack (burlap bag), snap beans (string beans), how and now sounding like /haow/ and /naow/ and Missouri ending with the vowel of "me" rather than the final vowel of "uh" heard north of the Missouri. In the extreme southeast are Southern " loaf bread ," and " grass sack " (burlap bag), and cold drink as a term for a soft drink. In the eastern half of the state, a soft drink is generally soda or sody; in the western half, pop.

I'm not sure, but I might be sick to the stomach.

I should have added the rest of the paragraph.

26 were on the National Priorities list as of 2006. In 2005, the EPA spent over $11.9 million through the Superfund program for the cleanup of hazardous waste sites in Missouri.

So, is there an estimate out there of how many mental impairments or other birth defects this has caused?

They say there have been quite a few from Westlake, Cold Water Creek, and Times Beach. Don't know about any of the other sites, probably never will know the numbers since so many have moved away or died.
