Review of Columbia, Missouri

---

Excellent variety in a mid-size town

- 12/23/2007
Mizzou football fanatics on fall Saturdays. Cardinal fans during the summer. Less than 2 hours to St Louis, KC, or the Lake of the Ozarks (go during the week in the summer for a quieter time). Several live theatre groups, coffee shops that aren't with a chain. Wide assortment of restaurants-not the selection of DC, but not the traffic either. Excellent public schools, university brings diversity, but public transportation reflects "drive my own" car mentality. Rush hour? If you think rush hour is waiting twice at a light between 4:30 and 5:30 pm, then we have a rush hour.
