Ambiguous marketing is always good for a laugh, right?
Straying from Missouri but sticking with small towns, I spotted this sign in a small(ish) town in Colorado recently. I was – and still am – perplexed by the meaning of this sign. I’m fairly certain that this established sells liquors, but what exactly are they selling [...]
Wow, do I have a lot to be thankful for this week. Where to start???
1. A Small Town Girl’s Guide is a Finalist in the Riverfront Times “Web Awards”!
Immediately upon my arrival home to St. Louis this evening following my long weekend in Arizona, I discovered that A Small Town Girl’s Guide was selected as one [...]
I noticed a badge on South City Confidential that said “Grace in Small Things”, so I did some research.
Since highlighting the good things in life is a big part of what A Small Town Girl’s Guide does, I thought it would be fun to join GiST and start focusing one post per week on expressing [...]
A few weeks ago, I unofficially resigned my self-appointed position as the ”Most Liberal Woman” in my small Missouri town.
When I arrived at the hostess’s home for a local woman’s retirement party, I was surprised to find the ladies gathered around a slate-topped kitchen island in a home built in the 1940s. The house had [...]
Small Town Girl has a new side kick; a sweet little terrier mix named Rosie, as in Rosie the Riveter.
This tough little girl survived being abandoned in rural Missouri in the wintertime and living in a rescue facility in Bollinger County with forty-two other dogs. She’s never lived with a family before, but after just [...]

Upon unpacking the gingerbread house-making supplies, I promptly got to work mixing dough and preparing cookie sheets. I tripled the recipe, which claimed to make 2.5 dozen cookies, and still only made enough dough for a simple, small gingerbread cottage. So much for my grand plans of the Frank Lloyd Wright “Falling [...]
I’ve always wanted to build a gingerbread house, and this year I finally did it.
Buying a gingerbread house kit would be the small town equivalent of saying “I want to build my own home” and then heading down the highway to buy your own prefab modular estate. There’s nothing inherently wrong with it, but it [...]
I have discovered (by complete accident) several notable restrooms in the greater St. Louis area. You might remember the post I wrote about “greening” my own bathroom or maybe the post about the fine dining establishment’s bathroom in rural Missouri. Then there were my silly self-portraits in a Cape Girardeau bathroom and at Local Harvest [...]
Though not an exclusively Missourian past time, I think that float trips are one of Missouri’s most popular summertime recreations. If you’ve never heard of a float trip, it’s exactly what it sounds like – a trip that centers on floating in a river.
Float trips are typically day-long events, although overnight floats are also common. [...]
