Luke - I have only driven past Rolla on I-44, buy my wife's cousin went to college there. He said it's a pretty nice area, and his folks agreed. Personally , having grown up in the Chicago suburbs, I LOVE living in rural Missouri. We have CCW permits as well. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
I'm glad to hear positive responses so far. I'm fresh out of college from an engineering school in Michigan so the atmosphere of Rolla could be very familiar to me. We have CCW here as well, moving to a state without it would be a hard pill to swallow.
