We have “county islands”, that is, 55+ communities inside city limits but outside the city and school districts. Personally, I hate “county islands” in general because they’re outside the tax base, but I am amused at the pot dispensaries which have opened up within this very conservative, Mormon-dominated city because they’re actually on county islands.

Yikes on the Mormons. When I lived in Liberty, Mo., I lived one block from the old Liberty Jail/Mormon Church.

Frequently the folks in Salt Lake City would send people to Liberty for missionary training. The church knew who the atheist was a couple buildings away, so I was constantly running them off my property.

I only lived there for about a year; a tornado destroyed my house (which I had just gotten into with friends) and made me homeless (again).
