While bigger and faster are often equated to better, let’s slow down and take a moment to consider something tiny that is, nevertheless, mighty. There is a proverb that says, “If you think you’re too small to make a difference, you have never spent the night with a mosquito.” Mosquitoes have the power to keep a person indoors for the bulk of the summer, just to avoid being covered in itchy bites.

5 Best Restaurants in Columbia, Missouri You Need to Try Before Everyone Else Finds Them

Columbia, Missouri — a city where red-brick streets hum with the footsteps of students and professors, where the scent of coffee and barbecue drifts through the air, where murals bloom on alley walls and the laughter of families echoes from porch to porch. Here, the city’s heart beats in the rhythm of Tigers games, late-night study sessions, and the easy camaraderie of neighbors at the farmers’ market.
