My biggest issue with Albany, Missouri is that there is absolutely no culture at all.
There are no museums, no plays, no theater at all, no concerts ( unless you count country music at the town festival once a year - and no, I'm not making that up ), they don't even have classes in anything. No pottery, no formal music, and
