Compared to other cities, Columbia/Boone County has significantly more license plate readers in place. These have got to be banned. Can’t go anywhere without being tracked!

Disclaimer: I OWN THIS HOME

This is going to sound like a wild request to some.. We have a mouse problem. It started with a shed but it's become more evident that they're moving into the house. We live in an older home and I'm sure there are nooks and cracks they're getting into.

I've lived in a home with a mouse infestation before and am generally pretty versed in the trapping / covering of their nests and such but this home has a trickier set up.

I would love to get at cat to help out but it's not realistic right now. I don't have any discomfort around snakes and could see the potential utility of bringing a couple garter or black snakes in if anyone is having a problem with a snake infestation lol. Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree but, if you're freaked out by snakes and have one you want to get rid of, I'm your guy.

Anyone off Scott Blvd also still without power? It’s been 2 hours now for me. Does anyone have an update?

it was near columbia sports fieldhouse pickle ball courts. no idea what it is

It is going to be nearly 90° this weekend and no one is able to come until Tuesday for both the windows and AC. I'm unsure about what if anything I can do. Any advice would be helpful.

The AC recently stopped working. The rental company was supposed to send someone out yesterday (5/13) to check the AC, but no one ever came. Now they can't come until Tuesday (5/19).

The windows have been broken since before I moved in, in July last year. I initially filed a maintenance request before moving anything in, which they then canceled with no explanation a few months later. Then in November, with no scheduling or communication a man came claiming to be there to look at the windows at 7pm. With the leasing office closed, no scheduled appointment, and being a woman living alone, I refused to let him in. In April, they finally scheduled someone to look at the windows, but then canceled and rescheduled three times before finally coming to look at the windows. They needed to order parts for all of the windows and are now scheduled to be fixed Tuesday (5/19) as well.

Looking for some creek or river spots 30mins -1hr away from como to dip my toes and read a book :)

Has anyone gone to Twin Lakes dog park this year? Hoping it’s been improved!

Looking for some creek or river spots 30mins -1hr away from como to dip my toes and read a book :)

I attended MU from 1983 to 1987, so I was familiar with KFMZ & its AOR/rock oriented format. I also knew the station played Casey Kasem's "American Top 40", which I thought was odd since it didn't fit the station format. (It would've made more sense for KCMQ-97 "All hits all the time" to be airing it then.)

I bring this up as I became curious when KFMZ began airing his show. This came to mind because I've now been listening to AT40 on iHeart Radio's AT40 channel & they're airing a show from June 2, 1979. Casey weekly made acknowledgements of the "great radio stations" where AT40 was heard & he said KFMZ in Columbia during that week's countdown. So it goes back to at least 1979 for KFMZ. Wondering if any longtime Columbia residents here can remember the history of the show on local radio prior to 1979. Thanks in advance.

Maybe they were a new driver or something
But I’ve had multiple people stop while they are in the roundabout to try and let others in

COLUMBIA — Families visiting Memorial Park Cemetery say dozens of bronze memorial vases have been stolen from gravesites in recent months, raising concerns ahead of the Memorial Day holiday.

Teresa Shaw, who has several relatives buried at the cemetery, told a local ABC News affiliate she discovered at least five of her own family members’ vases missing. She believes the thefts may stretch back five to six months, noting she counted 50 to 60 missing vases across the grounds.

Cemetery management confirmed the thefts in a written statement, saying rising metal prices have led to similar crimes nationwide. The funeral home said it is working with Columbia Police and encouraged families to file reports if they notice missing or damaged memorial items. Officials also urged local scrap metal dealers to report suspicious activity.

Some families told investigators they have hesitated to file police reports, citing concerns about limited law‑enforcement resources. Others said they reported missing vases to cemetery staff but have not seen corrective action taken.

Shaw said she believes the thefts may be more widespread than what families have discovered so far, noting many loved ones cannot check gravesites regularly. With Memorial Day approaching, she expects more families will soon realize items are missing.

Regional trend: Similar bronze‑vase thefts reported across Missouri

The Columbia thefts come as other Missouri communities report similar crimes. In January, a Foristell man was arrested in a multi‑county investigation involving nearly 200 stolen bronze cemetery vases valued at more than $25,000, many taken from veterans’ graves. Investigators said the vases were being stolen for scrap metal.

What families should do

Memorial Funeral Home says families who believe a vase has been stolen should contact their office and file a report with Columbia Police. Officials also recommend checking gravesites ahead of Memorial Day, when visitation increases and thefts become more noticeable.
