Paper city maps

I assume they're available at city hall, but does anyone know for sure where I can find paper maps of Columbia? I've looked at several has stations and grocery stores, but only over the weekend when City offices were closed.

I'd like to get a handful for my kids scout troop to use.

If they're laminated, safe for dry erase markers or wax pencils so they can be reused, that would be even better.

How do I start offering lessons?

Hi! I am a private art tutor and I am hoping to offer lessons to kids and teens in the Columbia area but I’m not sure where to start. I have no idea where or how to advertise and was hoping someone here would have advice. Thank you!

Zaxby's gone forever?

So I know Zaxby's closed up a while back but is it actually closed for good? Never opening again? I thought it was going to be temporary

Looking for 82nd Airborne lapel pin

My partner is looking for an 82nd airborne pin to wear to his grandpa’s funeral since they were both in the 82nd.

He has his original, but not a small one to wear on a suit. Shipping for a new one wouldn’t arrive in time for the funeral on Wednesday - does anyone have one we could borrow? I’m willing to pay or drive outside of Columbia to retrieve.

PSA: Beware of Scam Calls Claiming to Be from Sheriff’s Department

Just a heads up to anyone in Columbia, MO – I received a suspicious call today claiming to be from the sheriff’s department. They almost managed to keep me on the line longer than I wanted, but as soon as I hit the record button on my phone, they instantly hung up. When I called the number back, it actually went through to the real sheriff’s department.

I informed them about the call, and they confirmed they’ve already received multiple reports from others experiencing the same thing. So, stay alert, and don’t let these scammers keep you on the line. If you get a similar call, you might want to call the sheriff’s office directly to report it. Stay safe, everyone!

I’ve been told that people in Missouri (maybe the whole Midwest) get their fill of friends in high school and stop making friends after that.

This truly seems to be the case. Locals and fellow transplants, can you confirm this behavior? Is this why I cannot make a friend to save my life?

Man and dog on motorcycle

Earlier this evening I witnessed a man on a motorcycle (no helmet) get on I-70 with a (beagle sized) dog on his lap. Not only is this really stupid and dangerous but it must be illegal! I hope that poor dog didn’t go flying. The man I couldn’t care less about. I’m just so disgusted by terrible owners.

Haven’t had so much lagging with Socket since I got it 18 months ago. Anyone else having issues? Near the ARC / West Ash neighborhood.

Grateful for this community

Earlier today my pup decided to go on a little adventure down Scott Blvd. I posted on Facebook to see if anyone had seen or grabbed her. Someone posted that they saw her by thornbrook so I drove over and started looking. Talked to a few neighbors who I didn't know and they checked their neighborhood page and were able to help me locate who had her. By the time I figured out who had her, animal control had picked her up. I call animal control and they were super helpful and met up with me to get my pup back. I'm beyond grateful for this community and blown away by how helpful everyone was. This little city is awesome!

Chat Pile show tonight

Calling all metalheads! Who's going?!?!? Chat Pile and Agriculture at the Blue Note, should be a stellar show - if you're on the fence, get your ass downtown tonight. It's so rare we get great heavy metal shows around here.

Young Adults

Are there any young adults who are on the spectrum (with a mean age of ~19) who are interested in forming a social club? If yes, please message me. I’m interested in facilitating a group and helping them plan social events based on shared interests.

Editing for more context.

My partner has a son who is on the spectrum. He’s working on his high school diploma online. He has online friends from his gaming community, but would like more in person interactions to work on his socialization skills. He loves playing board games, baking, and cooking.

Mediacom Internet service

Has anyone else had a sudden (like this week) deterioration of their service? It had worked really well recently and since maybe Wednesday it has been going out all the time. West side of town.

Haircuts in Columbia?

Hi! I’m a Korean male student at MU and I was wondering if there are any good barbershops (salons?) for Asian hair? I’d prefer someone from east asia, but anyone with experience is fine.

Canvassing

Today I had a man in my neighborhood canvassing for 'No' on Prop 3 Columbia, MO. Does anyone know the name of organizations that have canvassing operations?

Edit I meant he was a canvassing for "no" on prop 3.
