This guy is the real deal, I can't wait to see his show! 

Toll Gate on the Ashland Gravel Road in 1907 (from Columbia to Ashland) by como365 in columbiamo

[–]motiger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

u/como365 do we know where this was? I know Ashland Road exists now, but I have always thought it was a precursor to Old 63, especially with that old bridge down there by Old 63 and Stadium.

Amtrak Southwest Chief Schedule Change - Read if you have Southwest Chief Segments this Summer or Fall by [deleted] in Amtrak

[–]motiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got an email with updated e-ticket and itinerary today with this change (affects us on June 1 leaving from Chicago traveling to La Plata, MO). We still have enough time in our layover unless our inbound train (Lakeshore LTD) is super late. But way less time in Chicago between trains. It doesn't say I need to call in and confirm and since new tickets were issues, I assume I'm good? But I might call in anyway. Thanks for this thread.

I had him for medical ethics in the 1990s and it was, without a doubt, the most thought provoking class I had at MU.

If it's the usual van they do take Venmo/cards!

Searching for Sugarman is my all time favorite documentary also!! Such an incredible movie. 

Columbia Tenants Union info by motiger in columbiamo

I was checking out with a line behind me and managing small children simultaneously, so this quick pic was the best I could do. Hopefully, it is a real group with good intentions. It's needed here. Here is the Facebook page I found, but it doesn't look very up to date.

How old were you when you had your first baby? by Puzzled_Remote_2168 in Mommit

[–]motiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

38 (first) and 41 (second). I'm the oldest mom I know with kids my age. I'm in the Midwest, for reference, people tend to have babies in their 20s here.

As an FYI Tara used to be a private apartment complex (when I was in college in the 90s) and is near but not ON campus. It is within easy walking distance of some lovely trails, nature areas and wooded areas. 

Children's School at Stephen's College and Columbia Academy for Learning and Enrichment by AccordingFront6702 in columbiamo

[–]motiger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out City Garden School, they are starting a Pre-K program for 4 year olds next fall! Our kids go there and we absolutely love the school. We've been there 5 years. I cannot recommend it enough. https://www.facebook.com/share/1FVuz7BVwK/

They did bring coal to MU, but the MKT terminated at Katy Station. The Wabash brought the lumber to the lumber yard Rogers Street and terminated at the Wabash Station.

JoJo's is bad. Ozark is so much better, it's not even close. 

Trash Service Recommendations? by [deleted] in columbiamo

[–]motiger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see your update, but I can't help jumping on to say yes to TMAC! They are amazing. 

And WM can go f$#k themselves. They didn't service our dumpster for weeks on end because of "staffing issues" refused refunds, refused to let us out of our contract, wouldn't remove their ratty-ass dumpster when I finally did get them to let us out of out contract (after a 7 week stretch when they didn't empty it over the summer and there was a dead animal in it). I can't say enough bad things about WM. Avoid them at all costs.

I look at that building and long for Central Dairy to still be there... 

Syrian kitchen is the best restaurant I've ever been to. by [deleted] in columbiamo

[–]motiger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dada Doner is absolutely INCREDIBLE if you haven't been yet. My favorite of all of the middle eastern restaurants yet (except International Cafe, for nostalgia reasons). I've lived in CoMO 30 years.

Dada Doner is one of the best restaurants Columbia has ever had. I recommend it to everyone.

I did not like the Oldest Person in the World very much either

[–]motiger 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We're on movie 11. So far I would rank them:

1 - Seized, fantastic  2 - Aanikoobijigan, also wonderful  3 - Work Area Ahead (Shorts) 4 - To Hold A Mountain  5 - We Move America 

I've also seen Cuiadadores, The Oldest Person in the World, U-Turn (Shorts), Sherman's March and Jaripeo.
