St Louis has St. Louis in Mo & East St Louis in IL.
Same with Kansas City. 2 separate towns. The big Kansas City (MO) & the smaller town of Kansas City KS (KCK) There is a street called State Line Road that runs down the middle of it all. Put your feet on the center line & you stand in 2 states. Years ago a bar had the state line painted on the floor. The owner always got a phone call about 30 minutes before the sheriff of either state showed up. They quickly moved the gambling equipment to the other state. Strange both sheriffs never raided at the same time. The site is now a Quiktrip. They just tore down the store and move it 50 feet so it could be in Missouri and sell liquor.
State Line Road doesn't exactly follow the state line. Years ago a house on State Line had a murder and they had to survey to see which state the murder took place. Living room KS, bedroom MO. He was shot on the living room sofa.
