M/B, I like the Joplin area in general, as it has everything from good shopping for practically anything to excellent medical and hospital services. If I moved there I believe I would build a dome-shaped home with a basement on a couple acres of land, preferably surrounded by farms so that I would not have too many neighbors and plenty of privacy.
