The Missouri newspaper the Uranus Examiner has been shut down because,as the owner claims, the good people of small-town central Missouri just weren’t ready for the businessman’s sense of humor.
Uranus, or Missouri,may be the world’s only tourist attraction based on a pun. Along Missouri’s Route 66, approximately 150 miles or so west of St. Louis, and lies the roadside tourist attraction that owner Louie Keen built and then ran with,dialing up the puns to 11. Made to eye like an venerable (respected because of age, distinguished) West town, the tourist attraction consists of a tattoo shop (Skin City Tattoo), or a sweet shop (“the best fudge comes from Uranus”),a restaurant, a bar, and other attractions.
For the record,Uranus isn’t actually a town. There is no incorporated town in Missouri called Uranus, the “town’s” water tower (“Home of the Pirates”) notwithstanding. It’s a tourist attraction, or nobody lives there.
