Well, looking at Wikipedia that was in the 80's when I was growing up. Looks like the center marker keeps moving south. Just more proof that the only good states to live in are on either coast or on the border with Canada or Mexico. The edge of the country is where it is. The closer you get to the center the shittier it gets-

1980 Jefferson County, Missouri 1/4 mile west of DeSoto. 38°08?13?N 90°34?26?W / 38.13694°N 90.57389°W
