Review of Columbia, Missouri


Most of Missouri is backward
Star Rating - 8/30/2006
There are pockets of progressives. Columbia is a bit of an oasis in this insulated state. But even Columbia shows the true nature of this "time warped" state--- juxtaposed to the intellectual university community. There seems to be two Columbias---those involved with MU and business community and those Ozark type (motor heads, loud mufflers, yard parking, lack of pride in property, beer drinking, gun toting, tobacco chewing, Larry the Cable Guy loving rednecks.
