While Missourian does include national & state articles, it is mostly focused on Columbia & Boone county news & info.

How I miss you Simon Rose. (Anyone know if he's still alive.)…read more Aside from playing Counting Crows a lot, this station was a great college radio station.

But whenever I am home and see Paul Pepper on the news, it brings me back to the days of ten cent pay phone calls, the IGA market, 15 cent packs of gum, sledding in Stephens Park, summer theater at the Maplewood Barn, "dog days" shopping downtown (WAY before the mall)...
