It used to be a Woolworth back when I was a kiddo. That was their "bargain basement".

Personally I would ride the laundromat and save up. Those shoes prey on the poor.

For dog walking , be sure to check out lost hill park and valley watermill park. They are often ignored local treasures that have not been ruined

I used to clean an office down there, it smells like diesel fumes and is grimey, there is a filth in the air. I thought the train tracks were cool though

I drove in last night and am fixing to head home on 13. Go slow. Be alert, and you should make it. Modot has been put all night. I have 4 miles of hilly dirt road that scare me, but ive always made it

You don't say her age, but if she's in the little little age... try "other mothers". They used to get a lot of pageant dresses in little sizes, the big fluffy cupcake ones. If she's closer to tween/teen... try the Dillard's junior clearance racks. My sister has gotten beautiful formal gowns for less than 20 bucks

Winona lodge isn't where the three scouts were murdered, that is down near Mayes County in OK. It is often mistakenly claimed to have happened at Winoka, but no verified murders too place at the lodge

Sorry, I misspoke. They were walking WITH traffic. Where I came up behind them. Had a brain spasm and not on the side, we are talking a foot from the center line, at midnight. If someone had been in the other lane, we would have had no place to go except off the dropoff

Edited to fix my mistake. They were walking WITH traffic, not against like I said. They were walking away from us as we came up behind

I have called and reported a few out on H highway when they were walking in the road, with traffic, at midnight. I damn near took them out.

Car washes are catching up. There surely can't be that many dirty cars

Vape shops for sure. The churches are larger, and have more real estate... but there are vape shops in every little strip mall in town

I think its just how people are. My sister cleans at a University, and a guy looked ger dead in the eye the other day and threw his trash at her feet. Some people are just asshats

Wow, he didn't last long.

Eureka Springs, Tulsa, are Good. Even Omaha and Memphis are about 5 hours.

Lord, I got my boards mixed up. I was talking about aurora ILLINOIS! Not aurora mo. I'm so embarrassed

Right? St George's or nothing

Missouri is known as being number one for puppy mills and meth production. We may have been surpassed in the meth production race in recent years...but yes, there are huge issues with homeless and drugs. I work nights, and you can't go to a gas station without being harassed for money, etc. Driving down north glenstone at night, you can see the homeless issue really bad. Not a street corner exists on the busier streets without someone riding a sign.

Aurora is a nice town. I have friends there and when I visit, it's so nice and homey

Boy that's true, whe. It happened to me a decade ago I was told if I found who did it to let them know and they would consider doing something

Springfield has high taxes. I live in Bokivar. And enjoy much lower.... but I also stash money each month to be able to pay.

If you have to wait, it's just a small fine, the amounts should be on your bill. But the fine increases every month

I clean professionally, have for decades. I think my brain is getting lazy, and assuming too much which can get someone hurt. Thanks for catching it

True. I should have thought to say that. Lol. I always assume everyone knows

Buy yourself a vacuum, even a cheap one. That's gonna make a huge difference in air quality. Buy some vinegar, disinfectant, bleach, gloves, and get ready to use some serious elbow grease. I clean for a living, and you can do this. It's gonna take a hard pull on your part, but you can do it

Dang, should have read comments first before I commented. Lol

I sent my first one and they told me I was exempt from then on.
