The man and I have a problem; on weekend mornings he wakes up craving a burger and a diet coke, and I wake up craving eggs and coffee. One of my favorite things about life in New York City was the tendency of (seemingly) everyone to spend weekend mornings (and sometimes afternoons) at brunch. There’s just [...] Small town Missouri simply doesn’t stop surprising me. On a recent visit to Washington State Park in DeSoto, Missouri, I learned that Missouri is home to 500-2,000-year-old petroglyphs created by Native Americans. Washington State Park is one of only two parks in Missouri that holds such carvings. The Missouri State Parks website says that the [...] Last Friday was a good day for my site: 1. The St. Charles Community website offered a nice lead-in to my post on Picasso’s Coffee House in St. Charles. 2. The Cuba Mural Project blog wrote an post about me, linking to my post on the Cuba, MO Race to the Rocker, a 4-mile road race culminating [...] Happy Spring Training, St. Louis Cardinals Fans. This picture, taken at a Jack in the Box in Weldon Spring, Missouri, is for you: Tires screeching, I pulled a U-ey on State Highway C in Belgrade, Missouri this afternoon to get a photo of this sign. Okay, that may be a slight exaggeration, but it’s not far from the truth. When I saw this sign, I immediately found a driveway in which to turn around.

Coincidentally, I’m wearing the same Columbia fleece tonight that I’m wearing in this post, written the day I moved from Brooklyn, New York back to rural Missouri last February. In my first year back in my home state, I’ve learned… This is amazing: Cuba, Missouri, home of the largest rocking chair in the world (which I blogged about last summer), has a 4-mile road race that ends at the giant rocking chair. The race will be held on March 27th, 2010. Who would imagine that athletics would inspire art in rural Missouri? But in two separate cases that I’ve witnessed personally, the Tour de Missouri bicycle race did exactly that. I blogged about a street mural that was painted in Farmington, Missouri the evening before the Tour de Missouri Stage 3 Kickoff in September, 2009. On Saturday, I [...] Hello From Big MO, photo by milligfunk Saturday’s Chocolate Walk in historic Ste. Genevieve, Missouri was a friendly reminder that small town folks are…well…friendly. My mom and I made friends in nearly every shop, and as the day progressed, we came across one shop who’s trusting owner left a sign in the window saying “I [...] |
