55. Knob never really changes

but they are trying to get more programs at the state park. It has an interesting history and I really enjoy the trails. WAFB, of course, has changed quite a bit with the B2 and all.

Warrensburg is growing by leaps and bounds. It's projected to eventually become a bedroom community for the KC metro. UCM (was State Teachers College, then CMSC, then CMSU now University of Central Missouri) is really getting big. Enrollment is now at around 12,000 a year and growing. Mules basketball is in the top twenty nationally for DII and the Jennies are ready to break the top 5. Jennies bowling was recently ranked number 1-and there is no DI/DII for bowling. Debate is also one of the best in the nation.

Downtown is trying to reinvent itself as an art district and is planning on putting in trolley cars in the near future. (All electric) What else to add? Oh, we had 13 inches of snow the other day and are directly in the path for another possible 10 on Tuesday.

Tried to give you a pic of the area as it is now. You should visit the city website and check it out!
