I live in St. Louis now (and did for college too), after living mostly in the Chicago-area before college with a small stint in Boston after college.
While Missouri is not a 'southern state' in my mind the way that Alabama, Georgia, etc. are...a lot of midwesterners think of it as being 'South', since well, it is South of the upper midwest. And parts of Missouri, due to its closeness to places like Arkansas has some more 'Southern' qualities to it than say, Wisconsin or the Chicago-area.
South does not equal Southern. While you could argue that Missouri is in the 'South' more than it's in the 'Midwest' it is most certainly not 'Southern'.
