Fazoli’s Nostalgia

8 Upvotes

Good afternoon Joplin,

Does anyone remember the fazolis before it shut down?? I can’t seem to get the unlimited hot fresh bread sticks out of my mind today. Bobby and I used to go there every Thursday for lunch and it was magnificent. Anyone else missing it today?

If you've never been, you should come. It's a great time. Worse case scenario, you get a free concert. So many people that show up are extremely talented people. I promise it's a good time.!!!

What is up with the fake weather people on KOAM?

3 Upvotes

Has anyone noticed KOAM lately has been using fake weather casters that aren't even in their studio? It's like they paste in a weather report that some rando in their basement put together using KOAMs graphics, pretending to be local when they are obviously not.

I am guessing this is just the next step in the decline of local media. Half the local news (every channel) is already outsourced fluff from other stations within their conglomerate so why not outsource the weather as well?

Police chase east on 7th

11 Upvotes

Anyone see the police chase headed east on 7th around 4pm? I was at 7th and Duquesne headed east and a Chevy diesel flew and I mean flew by me headed east, went into the west bound lanes at the light and shortly after were 3 or 4 jpd units.

Kinda curious how it ended. Is there a way to listen to the scanners?

Game night at the Social BTB on Sunday, June 26

3 Upvotes

On Sunday, July 26th, we will meet at the Social BTB to play games. Games will be available between 6 pm and 9 pm. The event is free and no purchases are required. Please feel free to borrow any games or bring your own. Bring your friends and borrow a game or mix and mingle with others.

Here are some of the games that I am bringing, the featured game will be set up and ready to play:

Epic Spell Wars (featured game) - Devise devastating spells to destroy the other nasty wizards.

Phantom Ink Arcana - Opposing teams try to decipher clues provided a single letter at a time to guess a word.

Poetry for Neanderthals - Opposing teams use one single syllable clues to guess as many words possible in one minute. Using Cro Magnon words (more than one syllable) gets a soft bonk from an inflatable club.

Trying to find jumping bluffs in arkansas

3 Upvotes

Need some help finding a spot. I was talking to a random person at a creek location the other day and they talked about some bluffs in Arkansas that were a pretty good jump in some very nice deep water. All I remember them telling me is that it was somewhere off of Indian Creek road in arkansas. They said there's a campground or some spot you could pull in park and then go jump off some bluffs. Does anyone know of this place?

Trick My Truck (2006)

5 Upvotes

There is an old show called Trick My Truck the was at least initially filmed here in Joplin at 4 States Trucks/The Chrome Shop Mafia. I would love to watch it again, but I can not find it for the life of me. Seasons 3,4,5 are on Prime video, but I'm much more interested in seasons 1 & 2. Does anyone know if and where I could find this show?

Local book group

10 Upvotes

Hiiiiii. I started a Facebook group for (but not limited to) dark fiction, dark romance, and dark fantasy readers: Hollow Pages Society. I got tired of giant subreddits with so many rules and flair requirements that asking for a book rec felt like a job application. So if you like your books dark, your characters questionable and are in to reviews, trope requests, recs, rants about endings that wrecked you, please join! https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1GvbGgiSgR/?mibextid

Spotted this group in Silver Creek today. Covered wagon, donkeys, three dogs, and the woman was walking barefoot in 90-degree weather… 😮 Does anyone know who they are or where they’re headed?
