Curtis, we took our seven year old girl to the norm, like the arch, science museum, magic house, union station, butterfly house, down on the landing, grants farm, it was her first trip to the area and she loved it. That is just a peek of what we did that smaller towns do not have. It's funny that your from that area, I told my wife as we were coming through festus that if we lived near a city this size just imagine the opp. for the washing business it would be. I know what i'm capable of making where I live but man there is work to be done everywhere you live. GOOD LUCK !
