Missouri?

[Alex]

Worst Chinese food I ever ate was in Cameron, Missouri. Best Chinese food I've eaten in Missouri was the only time I was ever happy to be in a P.F. Chang's.

Not food related but I'd point out that Marceline, MO, is about 90 minutes away from Columbia. Assuming much hasn't changed since I was there in 2001 you'd find a Disney museum, a barn put up by the Carolwood people, and down in a town park (not the town square) the donated midget autopia track (or whatever it was called).
