From 1922 until 1926, Route 240 from Rocheport to Fayette was Route 67. It was renumbered Route 3 in 1926; that route has since been extended north and truncated, leaving Route 240 behind.
The highway was mentioned in the title of David R. Holsinger's four-movement piece "One Day In a Small Town...". The fourth movement is titled "Chasing the Band Bus on MO240".
The California Streets and Highways Code defines Route 605 as "(a) Route 1 near Seal Beach to Route 405. (b) Route 405 to Route 210 near Duarte." However, the portion in subsection A has yet to be constructed.
From its southern terminus at NY242 to the hamlet of Glenwood in the town of Colden, NY240 is a state highway in name only as the roadway is maintained by the highway departments of Cattaraugus and Erie counties. Within Cattaraugus County, NY242 is co-designated as County Route32 (CR32). CR32 is the only route that has a marked concurrency with a state route in the county. At the county line, it becomes County Route198 and, later, County Route30 before becoming state-maintained in Glenwood. A section between CR198 and CR30 is also designated as part of CR27.
Missouri is a rock band from Kansas City, Missouri, known primarily for the song "Movin' On".
History
During the late 1960s and early 1970s, Ron West was part of a well-remembered Kansas City band, The Chesmann, with his two brothers Gary and Steve. Heavily inspired by British invasion groups, the band played both live covers and recorded original studio material. Gary West was also a member of the band Shooting Star, which scored several modest AOR hits in the late 1970 and early 1980s.
Led by Ron West, the band's self-titled first album was released in 1977 on a label called Panama Records. Even though Panama was an independent label, the band garnered substantial airplay on American FM AOR radio stations, specifically with the track "Movin On". Missouri's first gig was opening for Firefall in Emporia, Kansas. Missouri toured nationally with many major label acts such as Ted Nugent, Golden Earring, among many others.
A second album, "Welcome Two Missouri", was released on the larger and international Polydor label in 1979, including a re-recorded version of "Movin On" minus the original intro. By this time two of the original line up had dropped out. No further recordings except a repackaging of recordings from the previous albums called the best of Missouri. Missouri songs are available on iTunes.
Missouri Wine refers to wine made from grapes grown in the U.S. state of Missouri. Germanimmigrants in the early-to-mid-19th century, founded the wine industry in Missouri, resulting in its wine corridor being called the Missouri "Rhineland". Later Italian immigrants also entered wine production. In the mid-1880s, more wine was produced by volume in Missouri than in any other state. Before Prohibition, Missouri was the second-largest wine-producing state in the nation. Missouri had the first area recognized as a federally designated American Viticultural Area with the Augusta AVA acknowledged on June 20, 1980. There are now four AVAs in Missouri. In 2009 there were 92 wineries operating in the state of Missouri.
History
Some Native American tribes cultivated local varieties of grapes. These species were developed further by later German Americans and Italian Americans.
Germanimmigrants to the Missouri River valley established vineyards and wineries on both sides of the river. Hermann, Missouri, settled by Germans in 1837, had ideal conditions to grow grapes for wine. By 1848 winemakers there produced 10,000 US gallons (37,900l) per year, expanding to 100,000 US gallons (378,500l) per year by 1856. Overall, the state produced 2,000,000 US gallons (7,570,800l) per year by the 1880s, the most of any state in the nation.Stone Hill Winery in Hermann became the second largest in the nation (and the third largest in the world), shipping a million barrels of wine by the turn of the 20th century. Its wines won awards at world fairs in Vienna in 1873 and Philadelphia in 1876.

Drone view of a barge on the Missouri River passing under MO HWY 240 and the Glasgow Railroad Bridge
A rare sighting but not nearly as rare as in the early 2000s. Reports are barge traffic is up the last several years after proving the Missouri River is a reliable and economic method for moving goods, especially grain. This the day the barge snuck up on me while waiting for some traffic to cross the Glasgow Railroad Bridge. Based on the coverings I'm assuming he's moving some sort of grain.

Note that I'm driving a tractor-trailer which is governed at 65 mph.
Also note that videos are slightly zoomed in and sped up to optimize viewing by easing camera shake. Thus, objects in the video, such as other vehicles, are actually further away than they may appear.
Due to the nature of shock absorption in big trucks, there may still be a few bumps here and there which I apologize for.

Driving on Interstate 44 West in Missouri, from mile marker 240 to 230.
Interstate 44 runs for 293 miles through the central and southern regions of the Show Me State. It parallels the historic Route 66 for its entire duration and also passes through the Ozarks. Control cities along it include St. Louis, Fenton, Rolla, Lebanon, Springfield, and Joplin. I've always found it to be a fun stretch of Interstate to drive.
