This Sprawling Missouri Flea Market Fills An Old Warehouse With Hundreds Of Vendor Booths

The aisles here are named like streets. That’s a smart move, because one shopper spent two hours inside and only made it a quarter of the way through. Hundreds of independent dealers fill the booths, and the stock keeps changing. One visitor stayed six hours and still left curious.

Missouri Milk Comes In Glass Bottles Here, And Visitors Can Watch Them Get Washed And Filled Again

Soda-flavored milk. Cotton candy milk. Both come in glass bottles, and many of those bottles go back to the farm to be washed and filled again. I love that this Missouri dairy treats its returnable milk bottles like boomerangs. You pay a deposit, bring the bottle back, and it heads right into the wash line.

Ensuring rural Missouri has a voice in the energy debate | Opinion

For decades, rural communities have been central to American energy production, but their interests have not always been well represented when energy decisions are made. Wind turbines and transmission lines cross farmland, power plants are built in rural counties, and the costs of the nation's energy transition can fall disproportionately on people and communities that may not directly benefit from the infrastructure being built. A new research center at the University of Missouri aims to bring greater attention to those impacts. The Center for Rural Energy Security (CRES) was launched by the University of Missouri in 2025 to conduct energy research with a rural perspective, focusing on how federal and state energy policies and technological innovations affect rural communities, agriculture, and economic growth.

As the first university-affiliated energy policy research institute in the country to focus exclusively on energy policy and technology innovation for agriculture, rural communities, and rural economic development, CRES released its first policy research paper on Sept. 3. Focusing on the economic impact of utility-scale renewable projects in rural areas, the paper reflects the Center’s
