So my friend Beth and I drove cross-country a couple years back and her car broke down just outside this nondescript town in the middle of Missouri. Well, two EMT’s who were off-duty stopped, helped us get back going far enough to get to the Ford dealership here. We spent about 6 hours here while her car was being fixed. It has a cute little downtown and a couple of nice tiny mom and pop type stores (icluding an INCREDIBLE pie shop, I have no idea if it’s still there). I’d probably shoot myself if I had to live here as I’m sure it would get boring awfully quickly, but as a little slice of midwest America, we couldn’t have asked for a nicer place to get stranded for 6 hours.
