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.

East Missouri is Earthquake country to me. I’ve been watching the weather patterns in the state for about 4 years. I found a spot that the storm fronts love to split and go around. It’s really small, very conservative and redneck. The town of Cabool. Just watch a front advance on it and it will split almost all of the time. It’s the strangest weather phenomenon I’ve ever seen. I love the online real estate broker for the area.
