Mike's Unique and Habitat have both had great, authentic stuff.

It may not be called exactly that, but that's the gist of the theory

There's an actual theory that they call "The American Idol Effect" where everyone was told that their opinion was important/mattered and to vote for things, like reality shows, and that started this current social pattern

I'd look closer to Republic. It's not far in miles, but that drive can sometimes feel like for-ev-er.

YES!!! I would love a good condo. There's a lot of people that don't understand that a picket fence isn't everyone's goal.

Or even a quick cheap flight like Southwest does.

This would be great. We'd likely need to shift the academics a bit as a lot of these types of jobs need more mat/engineering skills than they used to.

I would think to partner with someone bringing that type of facility in, and somewhere like OTC, it would only take a couple years to get people prepped for that. Abut the same amount of time it would take for a buildout.

The have a thriving arts scene, good shopping, a minor league hockey team, baseball in the summer, in addition to what Robzilla said

I'm gonna have to make a trip for that!

Memphis is about 5 hours. That would be something different, especially if you like music and/or food.

Tulsa? KC?

The Finley River Park in Ozark has a display that accepts donations at the end. It's alright. The Ozark square has a really pretty display up.

B Hwy Blow Ups in Rogersville are worth the drive.

Quail Creek has a lot of houses decorated.

The giant one that used to be the tire store?

This is absolutely a po-dunk town, but with bigger city problems. It's not an escape from what you're living in.

We're the 3rd largest city in the state, after KC and St Louis. And with that, comes those same issues, just on a smaller scale.

What about SAAF? The low cost spay/neuter clinic

There's a DIY candle place on Cherry by Skully's. It's in with one of the other shops.

I wasn't trying to "well, ackshually" you, btw. It's just fresh for me, as we just spent almost two years looking for new offices at work.

We actually have a shortage of mid-size office space. It's either huge or like, one office. The 1000-2500 sf is in short supply though.

Cotton too

Because without government interference, adults marry young children.

A mahi mahi sandwich? That seems...out of place?

Are you sure? Wings Etc is where Bob Evans used to be.

Good food, but twice they gave me unauthorized substitutions on my to-go orders.

They also charge you to use your debit or credit card. It's only a couple bucks, but I'd rather pay more for the item than an extra fee.

B Hwy Christmas Display in Rogersville is worth the drive. And if you eat homemade treats, they have a cute little shop filled with cookies and stuff they bake to help support the display.

Bagwell was only about half set up yesterday. Probably be next week before they're really ready.
