Nixa

There’s not much to Nixa. It’s small, gossipy, and full of fast-food restaurants. Like any small town, everyone knows your business if you let them. However, compared to other cities, it is a safe place to live. Most everyone is nice. Most “Nixa-natives” are not very educated and enjoy butchering the Engligh language – even those Southwest Missouri considers the “professionals” and “well-to-do’s.” Go figure. Teenage pregnancy and the high school drop-out rates are very high – as is the divorce rate or the out-of-wedlock and unwed rates, for that matter. Supposedly, Nixa is the place to live in the Springfield metro area. If this is as good as it gets around here, you’ll have to travel if you are seeking culture or other challenges of the mind. Safe is good. It outweighs the more bland aspects of this place.
