question for my readers: what do you want me to write about?
GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANTWHAT TOPICS ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?

NEW CAR WASH IN MOUNTAIN VIEW MISSOURI THE CLEAN MACHINE I get it; the “new” car wash on 5th street, across from Yarber’s Mortuary and next door to Chowning’s Auto Parts & Storage isn’t exactly new. In fact, I remember when Lynn Ipock opened the “Wash & Roll” two decades ago — about the same […]
