  • So basically..... this town sucks some big Ol' monkey balls

  • M-I-Z-Z-O-U KU SUCKS

    Thumbs up if u like this comment

  • Hot Box Cookies is pretty fucking sweet. I LOVED Tiger's Takeout so fucking much. We STILL don't have anything comparable to that here in St. Louis County (at least not in Ballwin, Manchester or Ellisville)! :(

    The campus McDonald's was pretty awesome, a lifesaver. When the only other places to go for lunch were the shitty 'food court' in the Student Center (and the overpriced Brady Food Court BEFORE the NSC was built) and Wheatstone Bistro, I could get a lot of food for like $5 at McD's.

  • And it's not Columbia DOESN'T have all your other corporate and chain favorites- Domino's, Papa John's, Imo's, Pizza Hut, McDonald's, Taco Bell, KFC, Best Buy, Walmart and so on. The mall's not too bad.

  • But I guess there IS a bit of truth to the statement that it's "just for young people." If you're middle-aged or older, you probably won't get much enjoyment out of Columbia unless you live in the suburbs and can find a lot of stuff for your own age to do, wherever that may be.

  • Not much from my observations. I'm 40 and I go there all the time. Columbia has a very high proportion of younger adults but there's always plenty of visitors and locals from the other age groups as well. I know plenty of middle aged people from STL and KC that go there regularly on weekend trips. There's always something going on down there. If I wasn't tied to my job, I'd move there in an instant.

  • I don't know why there's so much hate. It's certainly not the BEST city around, but it's still far from the WORST. Of course, I'm not really into bars or niche cafes and clubs like Blue Note, so I could do without those wastes of space. And the hippie stores I couldn't care less about, either. But there are still a lot of great places to visit there. I did enjoy the fact that were so many cool shops, restaurants, etc. (including a Slacker's) just a 5 or 10-minute walk from campus.

  • And the bus system is pretty easy to understand and use.

  • @whoo689 You can believe that 99.99% of that comes from goofy Nebraska and Kansas fans who probably haven't even ever been to Columbia. Class and honesty isn't one of their vocabulary. Columbia is consistently ranked as one of the best places to live in America so obviously they're doing plenty of things right.

  • When I had to leave this place indefinitely and go back home after graduation from Mizzou, I was so sad :( 

  • at least there arnt many dirty fucking mexicans comming in yet

  • Best in the midwest :D and the MU campus is beautiful

  • All of Columbia fits onto this 7 minute video...now you've seen it all..

  • I might be going to college here! Looks like a great place and reminds me of the Northern Virgina area that I grew up in. :)

  • I love columbia! I've lived here in CoMo for 7 years now.

  • I grew up in CoMo and I loved it. It has it's flaws, but it really is a good place to live.

  • The columbia art league is a good time. Downtown is hard to park sometimes, but the art makes it worth it.

  • I lived in Columbia from 1975-1981. Some good memories, but generally speaking I found most Missourians to be stuck Aholes. This state couldn't even decide which side to be on during the civil war.

  • @101971854 With comments like that I have to wonder if the problem really wasn't your attitude rather than the residents of Columbia or Missouri. I've been to Columbia many times and have found the majority of people there to be very pleasant and helpful. Everyone else I know that's been there says the same. That makes it appear as if maybe you need to do a little soul searching and ask yourself this question. "Am I an asshole?".

  • @101971854 If you're an asshole then you'll probably get treated like one. I visit Columbia regularly and have never had a bad experience one time with the people there. They've always been extremely friendly and helpful.

  • Why not have some dog shooting video in this as well? Show us some of that police state you are so well known for

  • no one is going to go there,

    no wants to get harassed by your crazy redneck cops.

  • @TheElefaunt They're actually not crazy rednecks at all, just a few bad apples here and there... our police chief thinks pot should be legal, and the residents sure as hell do.

  • @rtyd1 Is this the same "police chief" who tried sweeping the murder of a college student by a fellow officer under the rug?

  • Not to mention a corrupt police force who tazes people on no grounds whatsoever and shoots family pets in order to gain less than an ounce of weed. Oh, not to mention the pro-nazism view they take on minorities.

  • @mypiratehat Really? Everytime I've been there I've seen people of every nationality imaginable enjoying themselves. I'm thinking you're probably some University of Kansas or Nebraska fanatic that's just a wee bit bitter about Columbia being shed in a positive light.

  • @mypiratehat Obama won Boone County in a landslide. Don't know many "pro-nazis" that would vote for a black man. I find it strange that I've been there so many times and never seen or met one. As for cops tazing people, guess what, that's happens in every city in America on a daily basis. In San Francisco, the liberal capital of America, a police officer shot a guy to death in a train station just because he wouldn't get up when he told him to. Clearly you've never been to Columbia.

  • Rack & Roll Billiards is gone now. So's Shakey's & Churrascaria Steakhouse. The steakhouse is now a Mexican Restaurant, but they're moving soon. Nothing stays in that spot for long.

  • UMC was last on my college quicklist, but I would have had a better intro to college in Columbia. It has a decent size population, great journalism school, and the town is VERY open to it's college students. I remember an active Greek scene, ugly girls(all nose) and decent gay scene for being in the middle of nowhere.

    Lots of tornadoes-but quite a social scene.

  • @gravelandgrain100 Lots of tornados? Hmmm. Hasn't been a tornado in the city of Columbia itself in the 40 years that I've been alive. Only been one anywhere near it that I can remember. Granted, I don't live there but it would have been on the local news here if there had been one.

  • @Thrillcekr -

    I am not going to argue with you, because arguing with a child begets nothing but a headache. I lived in Columbia and St Louis-city for many years. There were at least-I say at least 10 tornado warnings a season in both of those areas. I am unsure as to why you press comment posters on one issue with Columbia. It is a great town, I live in Minnesota, and we do have tornadoes here but not as frequently as MO. I wish you positive energy, cause you won't get far on your own steam. xo

  • @gravelandgrain100 Let me explain to you what childish is. Kids like to blurt out opinions without knowing what they're talking about. That's child-like. Tornado warnings aren't the same as an actual tornado. It just means all the conditions are right for one to form. I see one on television two or three times a week during the spring in this area. That amounts to thousands of warnings. Yet, I've never actually seen one in person.

  • I'm not pressing you about anything. Just correcting you. It's not a matter of me having negative energy. It's a matter of you not being big enough to accept the fact that you're wrong about something and move on. In my book that's a whole lot more negative than my correcting you. It's not very becoming. Hard to learn anything when you think you know it all already.

  • i was born in Columbia... Dont remember much cuz i was young when i moved to wisconsin (not by choice) but what i thought i knew about it... it was a small town!!

  • It is definitely not anymore

  • Thanks for the memories. I lived in Columbia Mo. 1979-1980 year and miss the wonderful town. However after hearing that the town has grown to 100000 plus and has now more than 4 zip codes, has the town lost it's small town quantness? I urge residences who came from Katrina, to keep the town as you arrived there. Thanks for the video again.

  • where in columbia can a man find clean sex at a reasonable rate?

  • i absolutely love columbia,

  • Yes, the ppl are so nice, so clean, so innocent. Bigger cities only attract scam artists, serail killers rift-raft. Oh I know there are some classy ppl in bigger cities. I am from one. But....I have see so many phonies that now I prefer a simpler life with simple, clean, honest Americans. Sick of all the illegals coming into LA, Chicago, NY, San Fran. and spreading their legs for an "anchor baby" citizenship ticket.

  • everyone has there opionions. i like columbia, mo, and nassau, bahamas. other people might like dallas, texas. and my annoying brother found out my password and started writing the comments on here. sorry, cdlusby1.

  • Comment removed

  • That city is too big and scary! Those buildings are SO TALL!!!!!!!!!!!! You people are not as important as us because we're from Boonville! That's why George the postman discriminates those who ain't! At least you aint aliens from out of state! GOD FORBID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • columbia is a great town... no smoking and no walking around after midnight..though (niggers are running rampant and the police are scared to death)

    and god forbid you go to a bar and smoke good lord i would hate to get second hand smoke when im getting drunk to drive home!!

  • how do you not have a shot of hyvee in this bitch.

    that was my shit.

    I miss columbia.

  • thanks man, much love lol

  • sup people, im moving to small town couple hours away called fayett from london england on a soccer scholarship, ,and this i was told is the best place around. wanted to kno what the chicks are like there?? any talent lol and seein as now i cant drink anymore is there anything for a 19 year old kid to do?? any brothels loool

  • Hahahaha. Sorry man. No brothels there. Columbia is a college town so there are young ladies aplenty there though. Between the University of Missouri and other small colleges in Columbia there's close to 40,000 students there so you'll find a lot of people your age around to keep you company. Keep in mind though that Columbia and the surrounding communities are small towns though. It's a far cry from being in London. St. Louis and Kansas City aren't that far away though.

  • I lived in Columbia my Sophmore and Junior years of high school. Attended both Hickman and Rockbridge.  I miss it so much. Was headed back, just have not made it yet. Not to say I won't though. Best two years of my entire life. Nice people, nice place. Miss my buds - Chet, Vince, John, and everyone else. Maybe someday........

  • Living on the W. Coast now. It was nice to look back on my hometown. I was thinking, what about that silly place, Tropical Liqueurs? I hope you'll make another that includes the parks and lakes (Little Dixie Lake, too). Nice job.

  • um lived here for 21 years, i live in texas now...and i don't miss it one bit!

  • Comment removed

  • no I didn't live in downtown columbia. But i did live all over it! in 12 different houses. And uptown?? really? there is NO uptown in columbia missouri sorry. If you're not in the "downtown" area so they call it, you're in suburbia. I lived there for 21 years, and I know a lot of people who still live there, and who still hate it... como is good for college people, but you gotta grow up sometime. Try living in a real city...

  • Comment removed

  • like my face? real mature...to every person their own, but you're never going to experience life living in como

Sorry, Come to dallas and experience a real city with real change, and REAL people.

  • Right, that why it's 65 degrees here and 72 in Columbia. I know I jve family there, and both locations on a weather app in my phone. Clearly you haven't actually been to Dallas since it's not flat at all... Downtown is the part that is flat...given. Never seen a cockroach here before so I don't know what stank ass part you were in, try uptown next time... And as for the "illegals". Maybe if you made nice with them you could get some free shit and appreciate them trying to make a better life..

  • como is filled with a bunch of fake ass people. F the midwest.

  • on a lighter note i will give columbia "Shakespears", and "Trops"...otherwise i'm cool.

  • LOL, stay there. We don't need ppl like you.  You probably like all the Hispanic hookers....LOL

  • You sure are bitter Sue Ellen.

  • i live in columbia

  • I miss CoMO!

  • omg u should SO have Italian Village on there

  • My one true love lives in Columbia. We share a trampoline :-)

  • um....isn't tht the blue note at 1 34

  • lived there for awhile lots of fun. tons of uni kids, a pool hall 2 blocks from my highschool. what about the bluenote?? that place was awsome. downtown always rocked hard. i would scumbag it down there for days at a time with the 9th and broadway punks. just all aroud good times except for the bike cops. hahaha getting drunk when i was 14 at the sushi place that was above a club calle dthe underground caus they never carded me once

  • im from columia mo you did a great job

  • I lived in Columbia when i was little. Now I live in Arizona.

  • I miss Columbia so much. But! Don't EVER call downtown 'The District'. City Council came up with that name around 2003 to try to get kids to think downtown was some sort of attraction. Downtown is really this: Skaters and Goths during the day, and the place to be for drinking at night. Also, I'm kind of disappointed that the first bars you show in the video are McNally's and Shattered. McMinor's is where the underage kids and the women's rugby team go to drink and Shattered is a coke-den.

  • Shakespeare's is ok. I still prefer places like Domino's and Pizza Hut. I do love Tiger's Takeout, though. It helped me get through long Friday and Saturday nights when the only dining hall nearby Laws is shitty Dobb's. Unfortunately, I work there now, so I eat there during my lunch or dinner breaks 3-4 days a week.

    Fortunately, I got a single suite dorm room in Discovery this fall. It's near Rollins and Plaza 900, the 2 best dining halls on campus.

  • I honestly don't know why everyone makes such a huge deal about Shakespeare's. I guess it's just a hometown pride thing or something like that. I'm from St. Louis, so obviously we don't have Shakespeare's.

  • I love Columbia!!! We truly are one of the best towns in America.

  • I used to live there back in '94-'01. Thank you to bring back good memory.

  • I can't wait to come to Columbia!!

  • How about those tigers!

  • Good job! Great to see Harpo's and Shakespear's Pizza is still going strong. I need to return for a visit after being away for 28 years! Beautiful town.
