Places in Jefferson City, Missouri

Forty-three thousand people on a bend in the Missouri River, with a capitol dome up on the hill and thirty-nine parks the town keeps up because it wants to. Folks here work hard, look out for each other, and will tell you straight out that this is the best big small town in Missouri. They are not wrong. Here is everything that is actually here.
