I love, love, love our local coffee shops. You walk in and the smells of those nutty beans that hit you in the face, the art decor and the atmosphere, and the special getaways we can sneak to with our spouse or children. Something about a cup of Joe just makes a sweet time with our friends and family. Below you will find a list of locally owned coffee shops, and local roasters – YES!

Christmas lights in the Joplin area are plentiful with fun and excitement for children and adults alike. We love the drive-thru light display in Carthage, and Mt.
