Very nice people and easy to get to. The hours are short and of course they take all holidays,…read moreeven the not so real holidays off. I went to send something that wasn't real big but had some weight to it (BBQ Sauce). I was going to use the " if it fits it ships " for one price. The guy working ask if he could weigh it. I said sure. After weighing it he told me he had several boxes and packing if I would rather ship it that way and save some money over the flat fee shipping. He got it ready for me and everything. I just did the send to label and double checked it after he printed it out. It cost almost one third of what I had just expected to pay with the other. Small town people really do take care of each other. Even at a Post Office.

My certified package didn't get delivered to the person I sent it to in Webb City, and now for some reason it is sitting in Colorado Springs, CO instead of being returned to me (in Joplin) as per policy. I'm going to actually have to leave my house, sick, and go talk to the people at the post office and hope that they can bring my package with it's $50 in it. I hate dealing with this agency!!! You think postal workers go postal? The public that has to deal with this sh*t can go postal too. (That said, I'm not threatening anyone but I do hate USPS.) Your robo caller sh*t IS USELESS!!!

I am blown away by this fabulously modern library. This isn't a 'small town' library by any means…read more It's massive, clean, and airy, with natural light pouring into the open spaces and a thoughtful design that makes it feel welcoming rather than overwhelming. Everywhere you look, there are comfortable nooks and tables with power outlets, making it super easy to settle in for work, study, or simply quiet reflection. The atmosphere is calm yet vibrant, with just enough activity to remind you that you're part of a community hub. It's the kind of place where you can lose track of time because the environment is so conducive to focus and creativity. I didn't need one of the study or work rooms today, but I was impressed by how well they're integrated into the library's layout. They offer a perfect option for anyone needing privacy, whether for a Zoom call, a group project, or uninterrupted concentration. Not just a place to borrow books - it's a destination for learning, connection, and inspiration, and I look forward to returning. [Review 1495 of 2025 - 476 in Missouri - 25046 overall]

Somber memorial in a park…read more The Memorial was erected in honor of of the citizens who perished during the tragic tornado that ripped through Joplin MO on the evening of May 22, 2011. The category EF-5 rated multiple-vortex twister devastated Joplin and killed 158 people. All their names were inscribed alphabetically by last name on the plaque. It was the deadliest U.S. tornado since 1947 causing billions in damages. The tornado was a mile-wide wall of black swirling wind... I couldn't even imagine. It's so sad. There were 1,150 injuries caused by the tornado as well. Next to the memorial is a fountain enclosed by a white fence. It was a little tricky to find it but near the children's park parking lot you have to go down a small slope and you will see the small memorial. It wasn't immediately visible to the eye as we were driving to look for it. Review #1950

Even with the grounds fenced off, the street level view is more than enough because this place is massive and unapologetically ornate. Completed in 1895, it was designed by architect Max A Orlopp Jr in a Richardsonian Romanesque style, all rough-faced Carthage limestone, heavy arches and that towering clock tower that looks like it was meant to be seen from miles away. Jasper County was formed in 1841 and named for Sergeant William Jasper, a Revolutionary War hero, and Carthage has always been the county seat. The city itself takes its name from the ancient North African city of Carthage, part of that nineteenth century trend of giving frontier towns grand classical names. Even with construction equipment rumbling around, the courthouse still feels like the kind of building you stop for, whether you planned to or not. The carved stonework, the turrets, the arches, the sheer scale of the thing all hit you at street level without having the need to wander the lawn. It's one of those courthouses that looks less like a government building and more like a fortress crossed with a cathedral, and even on a disrupted Friday evening, it's easy to see why people consider it to be one of Missouri's most impressive county courthouses.
