Review of Columbia, Missouri


Disappointed in Columbia/State of Missouri
Star Rating - 2/8/2006
Unfathomable that this small Midwestern college town could have a high crime rate--but it does. Large ghetto area for its size. Missouri roads are the worst. Columbia does offer some culture with the University there but the other side is uneducated, unrefined "Ozark" "Blue Collar" types. City is not scenic and winters can be harsh. ease of operation is a plus----10 minutes to get anywhere. KC/STL each 2 hours away. Extremes of capitalism are visibly evident.
