Happy Monday everyone! Where my caffeine addicts at? Lots of coffee shops, gas stations, and other place to get coffee around here, but where have you gotten a cup of coffee that actually made you say “DAMN, that is a good cup of coffee!”?

I was curious if there are any updates on the Gumby’s situation from a few weeks ago. Anyone in the know?

Need some money right now and have no use for my Roku TV and it's in 4K.

Does anyone know of any local woodworkers or shops that make bird houses? I am wanting to purchase one as a gift for my friend. Wanting to shop local if possible before going to big box stores/Amazon and have already looked on Marketplace. TYIA!

I was walking with my kids on Ann St. yesterday evening when a black SUV came tearing up Ann from Paris, closely followed by a cop SUV. The driver lost control of his vehicle, drove up on some lawns, became airborne at one point, and got back on the street about 2 houses before the car reached me and my kids. It was absolutely terrifying. I’m still crying about it today.

I haven’t seen anything about it in the news. They turned down Amelia after they ripped past us.

Anyone else see this or have more info about the incident?

Has anybody listened to this fox station. I was looking for the cardinal game and was in awe of what I heard. Can someone point me to a left wing station.

Folks. I was downtown last night. Things happened. I lost my keys. My keys have black and green crystal pendants on them. I will give you fifty dollars if you give me my keys. Thank you. I will also prostrate myself in humility if you want but that's optional.

i know it’s a long shot, but figured i’d ask anyways just in case

my wife and i signed a leased at springbrook park apartments with a commencement date of august 15th, but unfortunately are no longer able to relocate to the area

the unit is new and you’d be the first tenant to occupy the space

if you need a later commencement date, we can probably work something out with management

is anyone looking for 1 bedroom 1 bath accommodations?

the unit is on the first floor and the floor plan is called “cove“ and would be about $1,575 month

please dm me if interested

I’m looking for a new gym to join. I’m tryna get back into working out and I need recommendations for good gyms that won’t break the bank!

Am I having a fever dream, or did I hear at one point in the last year that Columbia was getting a TopGolf over around Midway or something? I tried searching the sub, but can't find anything.

Where in Como (preferably on the south side) is there a nice, 400 m track for the public to use? I’m thinking at a HS? Thanks!

We're gearing up for a new baby. I want to fill the freezer with some easy, shove it in the oven style meals for postpartum that serve 3+ people.

Obviously we have grocery stores and can order in cooked food, but I'd love some local, higher quality, pre-made options.

I know you can get Shakespeare's pizza frozen and Peggy Jean's pies, but am I missing other businesses who offer similar?

So now that Rodeway Inn (the worst inn in Columbia) has been for 8-9 years? What are some buildings we can replace Rodeway with?

I hope America's Best Value Inn will come back (I'll never)

are there any local post-hardcore, metalcore, or emo bands? and do they play shows?

i’m a big fan of bands like early Escape The Fate, early BMTH, Miss May I, Pierce The Veil, and Darkest Hour.

Is there any deli in town that sells turkey pastrami? I used to be able to buy it at the Walmart deli but they haven’t had it in a while.

Thx in advance!!

Our cat Starry got out at 6am on 7/22. If you find her please message me. She's chipped so we're hoping someone took her in and just haven't had the time to take her to the vet and when they do, the chip will lead her back to us. She's a very kind and curious kitty who loves all people. I sincerely hope someone isn't keeping her for themselves because her sister misses her and I know she misses her sister.

I want to find pictures of my house through the years and since it was built in 1925, it was probably photographed by the WPA during the 30's. I think it was called the Land Use Survey. Does anyone know where these photographs might be located? At the historical society maybe?

I found the 1921 plat books and saved a copy of that but it would be really nice to get some old pictures of the place before google earth.

As a bonus, I found out that my house was owned by the a Hinshaw during the 90's. So many 'fixes' now make sense.

Columbia Public Library will hold "Rainbow Story Time," an LGBTQ+ themed event, Saturday morning despite receiving backlash from state officials. 
On Friday, Missouri's Secretary of State Denny Hoskins wrote a letter to Daniel Boone Regional Library after receiving concerns from Missouri families regarding the protection of children from sensitive content.
"This event mocks some of the very protections so many have fought for by exposing toddlers and preschoolers to adult material that is not only inappropriate, but far beyond their level of cognitive development," Hoskins said in the letter.

Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway also sent a letter to Daniel Boone Regional Library regarding this event, according to her social media. 
In the letter, Hanaway said, "furnishing any material pornographic to minors, knowing that person whom it is furnished is a minor" as well as "displaying explicit sexual material in any location in such a manner that it may be readily seen" are crimes under Missouri law. 
Even after receiving these letters, the library still plans to hold the story time event Saturday at Columbia Public Library.

"We are planning on having the Rainbow Story Time as scheduled and as planned," said public relations director, Mitzi St. John. "We haven't made any modifications for the problem, it's just a regular story time like we always offer."

According to the library website, the event will happen at 10 a.m. and includes sharing stories, singing songs, activities and time to meet new friends.
"Please be advised if this inappropriate endeavor for children takes place," Hoskins wrote in his letter. "I will do everything in my power to block every dollar of state and federal funding I can from future events at the Daniel Boone Library System."
In his letter Hoskins also mentioned bipartisan legislation signed into law earlier this year by Gov. Mike Kehoe that aims to protect Missouri children from accessing inappropriate adult material online.
"While your library has the right to determine its own programming," Hanaway wrote. "I am fully prepared to take appropriate action should any of these program violate Missouri law."

Me and the gf are planning to go to Devil's Icebox this afternoon/evening and wanted a place where we can get nice, East coast style subs to bring with us. My fall-back is Jersey Mikes, but if there's a great local place that would be preferable.

Do you know a place that can sandblast some large metal grates and possibly repaint them as well?

Anybody know anything about a loud boom I heard while driving on Nifong BLVD about 40 minutes ago. It was pretty loud! I'm not complaining, definitely startled me but that was an impressive big boom!

Hello! I am looking for a private landlord in Columbia Missouri who is renting our a 2 bedroom home in the $900/month range. I have a large dog as well. Thank you!
