When people hear “Missouri”, they usually think of soybean fields and pickup trucks in the middle of a small farming community. For those who prefer an urban life over camouflage jackets and cowboy boots, Columbia provides a nice taste of both. The enchanting brick buildings and beatnik shops downtown provide an outlet for sophomore Piper Page to release her inner city girl.
Page has always been fond of the ambiance of downtown. The unchanging cental with restaurants on every corner and boutiques with posh signs are reassuring constants she loves to see.
“I want to come back from college and see the town I know,” Page said. “The business of the life down there comforts me.”
Between the protests and the coffee shops, Page found herself a perfect place in the middle of Missouri.
“My favorite place to go downtown is probably any of the campuses or that little alley with the lights hanging above because it’s just so cute and photogenic,” Page said. “And of course, as any good citizen of Columbia should love — Hot Box [Cookies], because Hot Box.”
