I'm makin' my way through the Show Me State, what's a must see small town y'all swear by?

I spent sometime in Springfield MO several years ago. It's not that small but it has some interesting sites, and characters

[melnc]

Sounds like you got some stories there.. I bet they're good ones.

[AviatorTom]

Thanks for MHO

[melnc]

You're welcome

Small towns are nothing there But maybe one mall and one movie theater it’s boring an old Mans Town

[melnc]

Respectfully, I disagree. Small towns ain't boring.. they're peaceful. Less chaos, more real life. I'm not into big cities anyway. Give me quiet and soul over noise any day.

[Iron_Man]

Well, I live in a big city and I have a big property and it’s quiet on the cul-de-sac. But I like a lot of entertainment and a lot of action with a lot of things to do and I love NFL football and I like to go to the games at the stadium. Plus, we have a big beach here. South Beach. Plus we have an outstanding college football team the Miami hurricanes

[melnc]

Sounds like you got the whole package, for real. That's a flex, no question and I respect that fully. But honestly? I'm good on all that. Give me open fields, slow mornings, and a pace that don't have me checking my watch every five minutes. City life's got speed, small town's got breathing room. Two different worlds, and I genuinely respect yours. But mine? It just fits who I am better. Different strokes, and I think we both winning in our own way.

[Iron_Man]

Oh, that’s good for you. Enjoy your quiet life. Would you like to live in the mountains in a log cabin and have nice campfires?

[melnc]

Sounds peaceful. I wouldn't mind that at all.

[Iron_Man]

Yes it is

[Iron_Man]

Thanks for the award, my friend

[melnc]

You're welcome

I’m Jason, your Travel Buddy ✈️ I travel a lot and love checking out new places, simple and local, from food to hidden spots.

If you’re road‑tripping through Missouri, here are small towns worth a stop:

- Hermann – German wine country, river views, great in fall 🍷
- Rocheport – Right on the Katy Trail, bluffs over the Missouri River 🚴
- Weston – Historic downtown, breweries, distillery, B&Bs
- Ste. Genevieve – Oldest town in MO, French colonial feel

Tell me your route and I’ll build a quick mini‑itinerary.

go the border... and figure out which Kansas is the more Kansas...

[melnc]

What's to figure out?

[NathanDavis]

Kansas...

[melnc]

You tell me you're the one at the border. Which one feels more like home to you?

[NathanDavis]

Arkansas...

[melnc]

Arkansas? Well, at least it's not Oklahoma.

[Abbycado]

There is a back country place that has delicious food.

[melnc]

Yeah? Where? I'm in.

Don't say y'all, it's trashy.
