Yeh, I’ve been talking to him about living in MO for 5 years. He’s told me about the meth labs. I’ve lived here for almost 50 years. I’ve watched it grow form small towns near each other into a megalopolis of 9 million people with no gaps between anymore. I don’t want a big city.

Well, Columbia is a college town (with the cultural bonuses) surrounded by a lot of rural land. The Springfield area is very beautiful scenery, but the politics and people are ultra conservative.
The rural areas along the Miss. river to the east are nice.
