Knob Lick, Missouri is a tiny unincorporated community in St. Francois County Missouri between Farmington and Fredericktown. The thing the town is best known for is Knob Lick Tower, an old Missouri Conservation Department fire-watch tower that teenagers like to climb late at night. The Daily Journal is the primary newspaper in the area. This Daily Journal [...] I discovered a treasure on Saturday. Somewhere roughly halfway between Farmington and Fredericktown, Missouri on Highway OO (just south of the intersection of Highway DD) lie forty acres of blueberries.
Liberty Farms sells pick-’em-yourself blackberries and blueberries at seriously reasonable rates. I bought just over three pounds of blueberries for less than nine dollars. If you’re [...] After four straight weeks of 6-day workweeks at my day job, I was due for an unplugged weekend. My boyfriend and I decided to escape into St. Joe State Park in Park Hills, Missouri to pitch our tent and hide in the woods for a day or two. St. Joe State Park is one of the only [...] I experienced a bathroom in Missouri this week that was, um…notable. This particular “fine dining” establishment has opted out of ladies’ room stall doors completely, leaving the two toilets in plain view. There’s also full-length mirror in the bathroom which provides a clear reflection of yourself sitting on the closer of the two toilets. And finally, the bathroom is [...] Chat Dump, photo by MilliGFunk Chat dumps are where mining waste goes when it dies. Erm, I mean chat dumps are the huge heaps of mining waste.

In summer [...] While I was at the Bonne Terre Public Library on Monday, I pulled out a copy of my mom’s North County High School yearbook. Check out the hottie on the upper-right corner of the spread. MilliGFunk's Momma, photo by MilliGFunk Turns out my mom was a cheerleader and on the pep squad. I had NO idea! I knew [...] My first blogging expedition to the historic lead mining town of Bonne Terre, Missouri only left me curious to learn more, so today I ventured back to Bonne Terre, camera in hand. I made my way to the Bonne Terre library, which was completed and presented to the community in January of 1905. Bonne Terre Library, photo [...] St. Louis, MO, photo by smalltowngirl SO…there’s this giant bell mounted on a brick and concrete pedestal in front of the First Baptist Church of Bonne Terre, Missouri, and I’m not sure why. Granted the bell looks super-cool (up close, especially), but there’s no plaque or sign indicating what the significance of the bell is. The bell has [...] Memorial Tree, photo by smalltowngirl The holidays have passed, but I can’t resist blogging about this little memorial tree in Bonne Terre, Missouri’s Bicentennial Park. The tree was planted in memory of a specific man whose name my fingers were too cold to write down on the 10 degree day I wandered this small Missouri town. [...] Marvin Chapel, photo by smalltowngirl When I got off of US Highway 67 to drive into the town of Bonne Terre, I saw a sign for a United Methodist church five miles away in the opposite direction of the town. I took a detour to check the church out. Marvin Chapel United Methodist Church sits on Missouri [...] |
