Joplin, Missouri.
I had several ideas on my drive back today on how to make this post entertaining but came to my senses halfway through typing it out. The simple fact is that the town sucks. It smells, it is vacant and it is knee deep in WT. Having never been there until today I had no idea what to expect. I like small towns so I went to Joplin (for business) expecting that I would like it. I was picturing a smaller Springfield but what I saw was a ghetto full of white people.
FEMA needs to head down there and hand out checks to people.
I now know why in my 100+ trips to Southwest Missouri that I have never gone through that place and have always taken Highway 13/7.
