re: Living in Columbia, MO?

I spent seven years there in the 90s. The town really seems to revolve around the university. So summers are great because all the infrastructure is built to handle twice the population. Good restaurants, fair shopping and Mizzou sports. If you like to bow hunt there are some great public areas with huge deer. Plenty of other hunting and fishing options.i wouldn't hesitate to move back if I had a job opportunity.
