Joplin Missouri ?

I lived about 45 mi from Joplin. (Rural.) I love Mo. , my home for 37 years. Joplin is a nice size "country" town as Mo. people would call it. All the conveniences without being a real city.
Yes an F5 ( that is the biggest and baddest) tornado hit there about 8-10 years ago it was BAD. You will need a storm shelter.
Wages in general are not near as high as some areas, but R/e is way cheaper and many other things.
SW Mo. is a REAL car area and big on Mopar also.
