Good Life

I moved to Joplin for a job 4 years ago. I have not been dissappointed. It is not a glitzy nightlife town, which I consider to be a plus. I see a lot of comments in here about the high crime rate, yet, I never feel unsafe and when I compare the numbers with other cities that people say are better the crime numbers for them are as high or higher. It seems to be more perception than reality. Traffic is reasonable, we have two good hospitals and most of the services that a person could need. It is a short distance to Tulsa, Springfield and KC, where you can go to zoos, museums, etc.
