Spring into Columbia
By Lauren Zima
When I first moved from Chicago to Columbia, my family and friends scoffed at this fair city. They wondered what people did for fun here — how, they pondered, could life in a small (in comparison to Chicago) town in Missouri stack up against Chi-town? I quickly provided tales of Mizzou football games, weekend nights out with friends, Wednesday evening concerts at The Blue Note, big-name comedians at Déjà Vu and afternoons window shopping in The District with a Main Squeeze smoothie in hand. Columbia has a smorgasbord of stuff to do. So this week, Vox’s annual spring preview helps you prepare for the next few months by highlighting some of the biggest and best events. Whip out your iPad, and mark your virtual calendar.
As for what to do right now, we’ve got a story about the Heartland Men’s Chorus, a Kansas City choir that’s singing its way into Columbia’s progressive heart. And we cover the literal ups and downs of The District — check out the best places to visit above and below ground. So until the sun comes out, grab a blanket, mark your calendars, and catch an early spring fever.
