I don't know LOTO, but a Trader Joes is a step.

I live in a biggish city, but I only buy my meat at Whole Foods and I'm upper class, but not Eli Drinkwitz money.

I just can't see $10,000,000/year people being happy eating from the fricking butchers counter at Gerbes if there's a better/super common in not a small city option like Whole Foods.

Guessing they can just get choppered or chauffeured into STL or KC for fancy clothing shopping, or even good meat shopping, but that's got to get old if you can live in a spot in or close to places with actual big city rich stuff.

Like, does STL or KC have a Hermes store or a Moncler? Some place where wealthy people can spend wealthy type money?

It doesn't really matter, just saying that's the only reason to leave.

Also, Love CoMo when I was there. I'm sure it's even more awesome now.

Edit: Figured out LOTO, but that's also semi-low class shite in relation to 10mil/year. Flexing on a LOTO spot is like $300k/year status, which is obv 30x less than Drinkwitz level.

Again, not arguing against him staying. Just saying you top out as a social/rich person in Central Missouri if status is what you desire. Obv Eli doesn't, but there are potentially other people involved in this.
I see no risk in him leaving, but, it's not the best place to be rich or rich adjacent, especially if you're new money. That's it. That's the risk I see.

Good Lord, my wife picks out a restaurant every other week that we've never tried before. For the last two years.

Get your headquarters out of your hindquarters and come visit. Or go crawl back under your bridge.

There's a half dozen places to get you oil changed, and a lovely little Indy shop for my Indian.

I know LOTO once I disconnected it from the context of the Trader Joes response.

For personal context: I haven't lived in Missouri for 20+ years. LOTO just being shite out there as a common acronym isn't something I encounter regularly.

Considering that Machens started selling and servicing BMW in 1984, I think you are full of shite.

We drove Mercedes, I assumed BMW was the same. We used to go to Legend Automotive on Vandiver for service, but were sent to KC or STL for real issues.

Think what you want about my time in Columbia, the points I made remain the same, which, I'll double down on, support Mizzou and Eli staying unless his wife and kids want to be city rich.

Lake of the Ozarks, billionaires cove. Plenty of places to blow $$ dude. How did Saban blow is wad in Tuscaloosa? Btw, I'm not much of a LOTO fan, much prefer TRL. Carry on now.

Gainesville is basically the same size as Columbia, College Station is only 41k people.

Yes the programs are bigger but aside from Gainesville's weather, the lifestyle can't be exactly considered super elite by any means.

7% of the homes in Gainesville are mobile homes.

Its 1.2% in Columbia

Think you are on a losing track here. Not many well known college towns are metro areas. So dissing Columbia for not being a metro area feels weird.

20 years is a long gap to start throwing out judgements.
Columbia feels like it has doubled in size during that time. Has grown like crazy south of the old Nifong and north of 70. Has gained another high school to accommodate the growth and a private school.

The mall does feel like it's on the downward side of its story, but most malls are. The area south of the mall has developed like crazy into a newer, vibrant shopping area.

My biggest gripe about Columbia is The Diner has changed so much. No longer an all-night place and The Stretch is just not the same magnificent dish it was when I was at MU. They have changed it too much.
That's a pretty insignificant complaint.

Were you at the appropriate level of drunkenness to appreciate it? I haven't been there since '99 after the nubs beat us. It's never good when the longsnapper sails one over the punter's head.

No, siginificant difference in the level of drunkeness. I was with my daughter and a couple of her friends this last time. I hope you will forgive the different analysis.

Solid.

Dude's a baller. He likes to shop at Hermes (whatever the frick that is) ...

Columbia was way more awesome during South Carolina game (this year) than when I left in 1995 ...

Guys, we need Drink to go to PSU or were stuck with Moore and Pribula in 2026. No way Zollars gets an honest chance to take over next year.

Horn didn't even start that game, he wasn't going to be the starter.
