Some of the things found in Joplin:
- One store - Bob's Radio Shack, Bait 'n Tackle and Liquor Shop - where you can purchase minnows, tampons, an 8-track tape player and Stoli.
- A memorial marker which commemorates the historic horseback ride by Janis Joplin. She left St. Louis on a horse and rode it until it died of dehydration. That spot was marked and a city was founded at that location. Yes, it is the city of Janis, Missouri.
- There is a similar marker in Springfield, Missouri commemorating an historic jog by singer Dusty Springfield. It celebrates the founding of Dusty, Missouri. (this is the kind of stupid shit that occurs to you when you're sitting in a Holiday Inn in Joplin)
- A sushi bar with a mechanical bull.
- Twelve Waffle House locations.
- Zero Starbucks.
See you in hell, jealous whiners! Oh wait, I'm already there.

Try the loose meat sandwiches at the Mark Twain Diner. Don't ask.
Lucky....
I am just sitting here wondering if you actually went there on purpose or if you were perhaps on a date and got kidnapped and had your kidney stolen and ended up there in a bathtub filled with ice?
I know this is cruel, but I almost hope it was the latter.
What are you doing there Dave?
I think Hack is getting Joplin and Scott Joplin mixed up.
You must be there on business Dave, since there doesn't seem to be any pleasure there.
Ive been to Joplin.....Once.
Wow. A sushi bar with a mechanical bull? The mind boggles. Truly.
Did you try the place out? Is it any good?
Who needs Starbucks when you've got Waffle House, baby! Get you some grits!
