This video is a short montage of bars, restaurants, cafes, and retail shops around Columbia, MO. This is only a small example of what the town has to offer.
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.
@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 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
@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.
@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.
@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.
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.
@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.
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.
