[QUOTE="C.J., post: 261862, member: 1987"] I'm from the Kansas City area - northwestern portion of the state, but I'm familiar with Joplin/Springfield, which are more centrally located within the state. Many people who arrive in this area from either the east or west coast are pleasantly surprised by the affordability of the midwest. Currently, gas prices are less than $2/gallon, milk less than $2.50/gallon. Home prices/rents are usually among the lowest in the nation - but the amount of home you get for the money cannot be beat in the pricier east/west coasts. If you enjoy all four seasons, you'll find that here in the midwest. Spring and Fall are my favorite - cooler temperatures, lower humidity. Winters are milder in the lower midwest than the upper midwest, but we get our share of snow and ice. Summers tend to be hot and humid. Schools (with the exception of the large urban districts) have good teacher/student ratios, and good graduation rates. The Lake of the Ozarks/Branson is a popular tourist destination in the middle of the state. I've lived in the midwest my entire life - don't know that I'd trade it. [/QUOTE]
