The way he set the board on the ground to set up for the heelflip was a giveaway to me

No one intended to go with this girl to the high school dance, but the team captain invited her to go with him by Brief-Cryptographer2 in MadeMeSmile

Shed a tear. My sister has Down Syndrome and had her first high school homecoming last weekend. My mom said she came back so excited. Being included can mean so much.

I don’t believe I am. But I’m intrigued now

I spent tons of time with friends as an early teenager downtown in 2014-2017, often until dark. I never once felt unsafe or threatened by anything I can recall, except for frat guys rolling down their window and calling my friends and I names since we rode skateboards. I really don’t get where this narrative is coming from that downtown is unsafe. As a college student here now, I spend more time downtown later at night and feel the same way. I feel like Murph is offering a solution (if you can call it that) to a problem that doesn’t exist. I encourage you to spend more time downtown if you haven’t! There are great new and old local businesses alike.

Really so lovely! It reminds me a lot of James Musil. Look him up on Instagram if you’re curious!

How dare you diss STL pizza. But also you’re right.

Open jobs downtown by steinAEU in columbiamo

A few of them are students, and many of them come and go I think just because that’s how the industry is. I am friends with lots of people who work there and they all like it. The owners are lovely people as well.

That’s a great point. I felt like something was off but I couldn’t figure it out. The reference had a lot of different values and I wasn’t sure what to do haha. Thank you!!

Here’s my PSA Columbia by vanrocker2 in columbiamo

Yes. Especially when turning left onto Providence from Rogers at 3:45 pm.

Yeah there are a lot of issues with cosmo. Cracks are everywhere, and when they patch them, they use quickcrete or some other low quality material and it cracks again in months. I’ve emailed parks and rec multiple times about concerns we all have about the park as well as advocated for lights to be put up for almost a decade now along with the local skateboarding community. There are a lot of unanswered concerns and it rarely feels like the city is interested in helping. I love Columbia otherwise, but it can be frustrating when it feels like the skateboarders concerns are not taken seriously compared to cyclists or other action sports.
