The place is a real rip off but it seems like the locals or semi-locals think its a symbol of status. <BR/><BR/>Martha Stewart but much more snobby and a no return policy on their overpriced cheap crap!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34877723.post-78835161645533236072008-03-10T14:43:00.000-05:002008-03-10T14:43:00.000-05:00I think that we also went for a walk to look at so...I think that we also went for a walk to look at some historic homes. That is the sort of thing my husband is into. His brother is an antique dealer.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and I think that we ate at a place called the Red Onion.<BR/><BR/>Some of those strip malls and such I just can't live without. I was happy to find both a Hobby Lobby and a Michaels in Joplin. I go nuts on these trips if I run out of yarn and end up doing nothing but watching reruns of stuff on cable.laughinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999190808736700318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34877723.post-35797371789534379132008-03-10T09:49:00.000-05:002008-03-10T09:49:00.000-05:00Joplin is closed on Sunday & Monday and, for the m...Joplin is closed on Sunday & Monday and, for the most part, Tuesday through Saturday.<BR/><BR/>Let's face it: The city's best days are behind it. The end came when the beating heart of the city was torn out when all the buildings were destroyed (or fell down) at 4th & Main.<BR/><BR/>Since then, it's strip malls, fast food, churches, bars and subdivisions.

I thoug...Sorry, I did not tell the joke very well. I thought that everyone had already heard it. Mr. Carver first asks God why He created the universe. And God tells him that he can't answer the question, that it's a big answer and it wouldn't fit in a little human brain, even if a human could live long enough to hear the answer and such. God suggests that maybe Mr. Carver could ask about something smaller. And then Mr. Carver asks why God created the earth, and again God says He can't tell him and suggests he ask about something smaller. Everything Mr. Carver asks about is too big of a subject. Mr. Carver asks why did God create man, and again this is too big. Ask about something smaller. Finally, he's getting nowhere, and he asks why did God create the peanut.laughinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999190808736700318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34877723.post-8895431174780918102007-10-22T14:16:00.000-04:002007-10-22T14:16:00.000-04:00I've never heard the George Washington Carver stor...I've never heard the George Washington Carver story.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, that's a very good one.David in DChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01254984194783456496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34877723.post-17699565511574361162007-10-22T13:49:00.000-04:002007-10-22T13:49:00.000-04:00Joplin is a place I have been to several times, be...Joplin is a place I have been to several times, because my relatives all lived right around it. It is now so long ago that all I remembered the town name. Nice description of what to see (or maybe not to see) there, if I ever went back.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.com
