Here are seven shops across the state, from old neighborhood favorites to newer spots, that keep this classic going.

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. Worse yet is the fate of the millions of people who contract malaria from mosquito bites every year. Malaria parasites are invisible to the naked eye but can be deadly. Tiny but mighty, to be sure. Microbes like malaria parasites are defined as organisms that are too small to be seen without using a microscope. Not all microbes are bad, though.

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. The architecture is a patchwork: stately columns, sun-warmed bungalows, and the ever-present sprawl of campus life.
