@WNUKOWSKy Dude, a lot of us are from Joplin, that place had some of the best pizza on Earth. It was a Joplin institution. And it's gone. Not only have we lost a great place to spend time with friends and family, but a small part of our town's identity has gone with it. Also, the owners said they may not rebuild. I think after everything this town has been through recently, we can choose to be upset by whatever we want right now.

I was in the walmart that got hit,. it was unbelievable how we lived... so much damage. I had at least 2 dead people 10 feet away from me,a woman with a broken back laying in my lap, strangers everywhere... It's so weird how you can feel close to these people just because we saw our lives flash before our eyes together.. I'm young, and going to have to live with this for the rest of my life. Traumatizing. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

I was in Walmart just a couple days ago down here in Miami, OK and 7 out 10 people had carts filled with water, pillows, blankets, canned food and so much more that they where buying to donate to Joplin. Miami is about 35 min away from Joplin. It let me know that the people of Joplin are not alone. I know that other cities are doing the same. Don't give up hope God is with you.

@sgtmyers88 I so agree, the best pizza ever.
