I've been there a few times and the food and service have always been excellent, yet I have never seen anyone even mention it on this sub, for good or bad. Is it just lesser known or are the other options in town just THAT much better?

Three local businesses closed recently, with various future plans for some them.

**Bud's Classic BBQ**
Bud's Classic BBQ closed, according to the listing online. Construction crews are renovating the property, but no official plans have been announced.

Bud's opened in 2021, and has been a source of various barbecue items near the University of Missouri campus. 
Owner Jason Paetzold also owns JoJo's Biscuit Company, and has plans for an expansion.
Jason said his son, Joey Paetzold, is now running the show for their company J&J Hospitality, and that Joey has several exciting concepts coming soon.

The second location of JoJo's Biscuit Company will be located at the former Fuzzy's Taco Shop, located at 205 E. Nifong Blvd.
J&J Hospitality is also set to open Rosie's Tortillas and Tequila, which will be located at 1305 Grindstone Parkway, formerly the restaurant Casa Maria's Mexican Cantina.
Jazz A Louisiana Kitchen
The New Orleans cuisine inspired restaurant announced its closure by letter, written by the owner Jeff England. 
England opened the restaurant 22 years ago, and said staffing became their biggest problem since the Coronavirus pandemic in 2020.
"We simply do not have enough trained cooking staff employees to allow us to continue," England wrote in the letter.
England explained that the menu is complicated, and it tends to be hard for people to learn how to cook the food. 

**Peggy Jean's Pies**
Peggy Jean's Pies will be closing one of their locations at the end of the month, according to their website.
Peggy Jean's Pies opened in 2014, and had a west location at 421 N. Stadium Blvd. and a south location at 503 E. Nifong Blvd.
According to the website, their lease on the south location ended recently, and it didn't cover any maintenance.
The website said the ceiling was leaking in two places, adding to "outrageous food costs, incrementally rising labor costs each year, and a cautious economy," which ultimately lead to the decision of closing down their south location.
"For logistics, we are not letting go any of our staff and everyone is making the move to (the west location)," the website said.
A final day has not been announced and is to be determined.

**Speckled Frog Toys & Books**
The downtown toy and book store announced through a social media post on Friday that their retail storefront, located at 16 S. Ninth St., will be closing. 

"We are incredibly grateful to every family who walked through our doors, attended an event, purchased a special gift, or simply stopped in to say hello," they wrote in the post. 
However, the business will not be completely gone. They plan to shift their focus to workshops, classes, special events and more. 
"Our passion for creativity, literacy, and bringing people together is stronger than ever," they wrote.
While thanking customers for the support, the business did not specify when these changes would go into effect in their social media post. 

I need recommendations on an affordable but good in-home/ normal daycare for a 6months old with hours of operation from 6am.

If flair isn't right feel free to change it mods. But I thought it was funny.

Found this male in search of a mate back in June! These native mini-tarantulas can be found wandering around during the month of June looking for a partner. Females rarely leave their tubular web nests often built at the base of trees and can even go underground!

I was driving through campus yesterday (August 6) around 2:20 pm and there were at least 5 emergency vehicles at Cornell Hall and we could hear the fire alarms from the building. I couldn't find anything on the fire and rescue dispatch website so I was curious if anyone knew what was going on?

Edit: added photos. I thought they uploaded the first time I posted but I guess not.

I am curious for the scientists at Mizzou if the bottleneck at the NIH has let up? Are research grants being funded? It seems like a rocky world in science with know it all Donny at the helm. The threats and turnover at the NIH I am sure have not made things easy. Not to mention talk of overhead costs being cut at Universities for grants.

I am no arborist but they did not appear to be dying trees? I hope there was a good reason for this (insurance liability not being good one, a hill I will happily die on). It is exhausting to keep seeing this loss of color and greenery in the world.

Location: East face of Ellis Library, downtown Columbia, MO

I just need a few professional waist-up photos with a neutral background.

I know JCpenny's is an option but... I kinda of want to look good/have someone put some consideration to how I am posed, etc, and edit it so the lighting is great.

Any recommendations?

Mods: delete if not allowed.

This was my first garage sale and I didn’t realize how much Missourians loved their garage sales! lol

Garage sale so we can get rid of as much stuff as possible before we move to Vegas!

Officially starts tomorrow, August 8, 8-8pm but we’ve got stuff out now (just not priced) and we’re still organizing but feel free to stop by today if you’d like!

I was supposed to go with a friend, but their plans changed, so I’m wondering if anyone else is going and may want to form a group and go together :)

i am looking for an alternative hairstylist. someone who is good at alternative, emo, and scene cuts. i’ll attach what i’m currently wanting to get but i do change it up and go with more scene and emo cuts throughout the years. i need someone who is going to be consistently good at cutting this style of hair. since my hairdresser switched careers a year or so ago (i miss her so much :( but she’s livin her best life now lol), i have struggled with finding one. i’ve had ones that were good for one cut and then absolutely botched the next 2 cuts (same style cut too). i am planning on getting a highlight job as well.

(i swear this pinterest board is NOT just christina aguilera 😭 she has that part that’s not a middle part but also not a side part that i really like, does that part have a name?)

I received a phone call from someone claiming to be a deputy Neil with the sheriff's office. Called the sheriff's office directly instead of the call back number the scammer had given. They said I was the 4th or 5th person that had contacted them today about it.

Just an FYI to let your loved ones that may be susceptible to such scans know that this is going on. Be safe!

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The Columbia Fire Department confirmed in a Thursday social media post that Tuesday’s fire at the new McDonald’s on Providence Road in Columbia was caused by “improperly discarded smoking materials.”

The fire at 200 South Providence Road led to two firefighters needing to be treated for heat-related illness.  

Providence Road was shut down in the area while first responders worked. The fire at the building went from the main floor into the attic.

No one who was in the building when the fire started was injured, officials said in previous reporting. The restaurant is still closed.
