Best of both worlds

Columbia is one of the few places on earth where you can drink import beer in an independent film theater after a fine french meal, then drive ten minutes to hunt muskrats. The ratio of pickup trucks to hybrids is probably unique in the United States. There are tons of great bars and restaurants, a microbrewery, a University, three smaller colleges, and "the district" (what we're supposed to call downtown) hosts a multitude of shops and markets from all over the world for any taste. I went to one of the best public high schools in the state, which ranks as one of the best of any high schools in Missouri. Outside of campus/downtown, there are a lot of specialty stores, ranging from bass pro to organic grocery stores. Gas is cheap(er) and there are a ton of rental units and houses for sale.
