O'FALLON, MO. — Less than 100 yards from his stone and timber home, just down
the driveway from a stable full of muddy all-terrain vehicles, Adolphus Busch
IV is the proud owner of five new massive solar panels, angled toward the sun
atop steel structures resembling white football goal posts.
The $100,000 system makes Busch owner of the region's largest personal solar
power plant, according to energy officials.

KING CITY, MO.
The "Big Pump" was always this town's main roadside attraction, perhaps
rivaling only Branson's giant ball of twine or Independence's hair museum.
Built in 1937 by a gas station owner named Rufus Limpp, the 25-foot tall,
fire-truck-red replica of an electric gasoline pump once beckoned motorists to
"Buy Gas Now." It now sits in front of the King City museum.
