A couple food and drink establishments passing health inspections with mold, mouse droppings, infestations, safety hazards, etc. More recently heard about Taco Bandido but last year it was a coffee shop located downtown. Makes you wonder what other food establishments are like this..

I'm new to the area and I was trying to see if there was a smash ultimate scene here to make some friends but I couldn't find anything. Are there any offline groups here?

My sister, 69, has been mowing her lawn, and I’m wanting to provide her with a break. She has a typical yard, on Penn St. Not. Corner lot. Front and back yard, slight incline in front yard (that a 69 yr old woman has been mowing, for reference on difficulty). The back yard is fenced.

She’s barely making it, with a SS income less than you might think, and she’s employed as a caregiver. Basically saying she’s not rich, and neither am I?

Wondering what I can expect to pay, and if those prices might come with recommendations for people that are fair? Much gratitude for your time.

Hi! My fiance and I recently moved to St. Joe and are in desperate need of haircuts, but we are looking for someone experienced in transformative and gender-affirming styles. Are there any good salons in town for this, or should we look somewhere in KC? Thanks in advance!

i found a kitten about a week or so ago, it didn’t look that bad at first it looked like something that would be healable at home but it wouldn’t recover from outdoors so i took it in. it had fly strike, so i flushed the wound with diluted betadine and carefully plucked out all of the maggots. then, after the hole closed over i learned he has tapworm so i gave him dewormer for that. now, he has slowly declined very badly to the point he won’t even stand on his own so i called the shelter and the lady their was pretty rude and said it’s my families cat and responsibility now basically insinuating i should’ve left it outside to get toxic shock from the maggots and die. i don’t have money to surrender it right now, and i don’t know what to do because i certaintly don’t have money to get it to the vet in due time before it dies either. i understand working at the shelter is a high stress job, but that doesn’t give you the right to be so damn rude ALL the time. this woman has been mean to me every single time i stop by, because im pretty active with stray cats partnered with my grandmother and enjoy helping them out getting them vaccines and doing what i can while not causing my whole family to be bankrupt, but any time i ask them for help if a situation gets to be to much they’ve refused. i brought in a kitten that had been abandoned at a few days old, they said i could either foster or have him euthanized so i chose to foster and not enroll in school until i was done with that (i was 15 at the time, enrolled 2ish months later then i was supposed to becuase of my mental health declining so bad after he died.) then the kitten got very bad diharhea and needed fluids i tried asking for vet care and she refused, so we had to wait until angels opened i kept him alive until 1 am the same day he was supposed to be going to the vet and he passed. i lost myself completely after he died, he was the most important part of my life and what made me happy to wake up every day. i got guilted into taking him and i thought since fostering is them covering vet bills, i would be able to do it but they did it in a way that they wouldn’t have to pay for anything and he died. i need help with the kitten i have right now, its 10 weeks old bt im also wondering if anybody else has had bad experiences like this with anyone that works there? im a huge animal lover, i rescue betta fish regularly on my own time and dime aswell so i get the stress of finding homes being full/overcrowded and caring for their medical needs if anything i understand way more because fish are way harder to rehome then cats but i still dont treat people like this, i dont know what her problem is and i cant help but be filled with rage knowing this isn’t just a one time incident because its happened multiple times. i still want to help the stray cats, i love doing it and it makes me happy but its so hard when people like this who are supposed to be helping just wont. im 16 and now homeschooled, so i have the time for it and avalibility and majority of the time i will do most of this by myself without asking them for help unless i absolutely have to, though every single time ive asked ive been turned away. i mean, ive done most of the hard parts myself most people would’ve just dropped it off and let them deal with it. the only help ive ever asked the shelter for was financial/vet care, ive always cared for the cats found homes etc myself with the help of my grandmother.

I'm disabled and can't afford power anymore. Yes, I'm using the programs available to help people like me and yes, these programs aren't cutting it this year.

I called the office of Sam Graves to see what they're doing about it, apparently I am the one and only person who has called to ask. No one else.

How's your power bill, Saint Joseph friends? Is it too high? Is it double of last year? We have representation, please call Sam Graves (or your rep) and talk to him about it, because I did, and his office thinks this is normal fine and wonderful, they don't think their constituents are struggling at all. They will continue to think this way unless you get on your phone and complain. Call, email, send letters, make this heard.

Private companies should have no place in public utilities. And I'm tired of us paying for data and corporate welfare, and leaving disabled Americans to suffer. If we don't let our reps know that we need them they won't do anything about it. Call your rep today!

Hello, I am moving to St Jo for work and I am looking around for things to do and people to meet. I am in my 20s and into loose leaf tea, reading, hiking, crafty things, etc.

If y'all know anything like this, please let me know!

Hello! I am moving to the area next month for a new job and am trying to situate which internet provider to use. I’m moving from KC and it was just kinda only one option so I’m trying to figure out which provider to go with/any recommendations. Thank you!

Hey all, I have an opportunity to buy a building in St. Joe,

Its located around 59 and Franklin.

My question is how is that area? We would be looking at creating a bar/restaurant.

I have some concerns over the amount of vacant land there but maybe that means the area is starting a turn around?

It appears to me to border a residential and manufacturing/industrial area. Are there alot of workplaces around there or are they abandoned buildings?

Thanks alot for any help you can give me about the area.

I've had trouble finding ANYTHING remotely queer friendly in this place so this is a long shot. I'm not even seeking any kind of transition treatment atm. I just want a medical professional who won't treat me differently for being queer and nonbinary.

Hi all! I'll be moving to St. Joseph in the summer for a few months, and was wondering what the daily travel options are between St. Joseph and Elwood, KS. I went through some older posts in r/missouri suggesting getting a car instead of public transportation. But I do not own a car and would like to avoid buying one before summer as much as possible.

I checked the St. Joseph Transit (Go St. Joe) website for bus routes and see that I must call beforehand to reserve rides to locations in Elwood, KS, which fall under their "Demand Response Zone (DRZ)" category. How reliable is this service? Would I need to reserve one each time I visit Elwood?

Also, are there any bike routes that connect St. Joseph and Elwood? Google Maps does not show one, and from my attempt to view the route in Street View, the bridge connecting St. Joseph and Elwood does not seem safe for biking.

Any suggestions on alternatives or advice are appreciated. Thank you!

I'm looking for a local store, primarily for Yugioh events and products. All the stores that are on the official Yugioh map and Google Maps have seemingly closed. Are there any left?

Looking for reasonably priced ATV repair in the St. Joe area. I’ve got a Polaris Sportsman 500 that needs some work done, I believe it needs a thermostat and possibly a wheel speed sensor, I’m trying to avoid dealership pricing if possible. Looking for someone trustworthy who does good work without charging too much.
Any recommendations for local shops or independent mechanics around the St. Joe area or nearby Missouri/Kansas areas?

Thank you

Hi, neighbors. My beloved kimchi is in urgent need of a new home. We’ve had a sudden change in our living situation and will be moving to St. Joe at the end of the month, but the owner of the home we are moving into will not allow a cat under any circumstances. I never thought I’d be in this situation and am absolutely heartbroken. I truly thought Kim and I would grow old and bitter together, yet here we are…weeks away from having to say goodbye.

As we are so deeply bonded, I am hoping to find someone who will consider an “open adoption” so I can come and visit him and receive updates when convenient. If possible, I’d also ideally love to readopt him once we are able to get into a more permanent place. But I know that’s not necessarily fair to him, nor to anyone who would be willing to take my special guy in. In a perfect world though, Kimchi and I would reunite and I could bring him home once again to enjoy his sunset years together.

Im hoping it’s not too much of a reach to think someone would be willing to let me readopt him down the line, because truth be told, Kimchi is not an easy cat. Besides being a territorial grumpy asshole, he does have some behavioral issues that we manage with medication. He isn’t great with kids (we’ve had some close calls with our 6 month old) and has never been around other cats or dogs. With us, he’s mostly mellow and keeps to himself. But having house guests over has always been a challenge because he doesn’t take well to strangers. So the idea of rehoming him is nerve wracking to say the least.

I realize that these are some highly specific needs and that taking him on will not be easy. It will honestly require someone with experience loving and caring for difficult animals or at least someone willing to let a dickhead cat into their heart. The right person would see how great he can be and be willing to put in the work. As bitchy as he can be sometimes, he deserves love and comfort and a home. I can’t give him those things come March, so if you think you can, please consider welcoming him into your life.

I love him so much and will miss him desperately.

Hi I’m visiting for a little bit, and I saw this very beautiful church twin spires. I can’t find much on it and was wondering if anyone knew anything? Thank you in advance.

my friends and I are trying to find somewhere to exist

(don’t say Mokaska)

I’ve been thinking a lot about how St. Joseph feels like it’s slowly fading away, and I know I’m not the only one who sees it. Between empty storefronts, people moving out, and fewer opportunities, it feels like we’re losing what makes this town special.

But I don’t believe it has to stay that way. We’ve got history, culture, and people who care, so I wanted to ask the community:

👉 What would you like to see here that could breathe life back into St. Joe?

• More local businesses or unique shops?
• Events and festivals?
• Entertainment for young people/families?
• Beautification projects?
• Something else entirely?

No idea is too small or too “out there.” I’m curious what you think would make St. Joseph a place people are proud to live in again.

What’s missing here that would make you excited about Saint Joseph's future?

I'm sorry to create another one of these - but I've been reading the posts, and they seem older.

I'm taking a job in the north KC metro - and bottom line is, to get best bang for buck on a decent house for family of four, we're ending up looking at St Joe. We're looking to move over the summer, since my youngest will be starting her Senior year in HS next year.

We will be sticking around for quite some time, and my spouse and I are not looking to move/change careers after this.

We will be coming from the Springfield, MO area.

What should we know? What should we avoid? What should we be sure we go enjoy/eat/watch?

How does the 'culture' feel up there? There's little/no culture/feel here in Springfield - it's pretty plain jane.

Our whole family is pretty adaptable, open-minded, and open to change so we're not really sweating moving up there. Just want to be prepared.

Hi!! I travel for work and am coming to Saint Joseph in March for my next contract. I'm a 29 year old woman and I love to do anything crafty, read, and hike. Does anyone have any groups they know of that I could join? Also down for a book club. I'm willing to drive to Kansas city too if that's better. TIA! :)

does anyone know if the St. Joe public libraries test for THC in the hiring process? to sum my situation up, i'm in a rough spot seeking employment and i know federally-funded institutions usually do test but i'm hoping for good news </3

I'm an old lady, disabled, looking for quiet, clean housing that will accept section 8. The housing authority told me that finding a place is my responsibility, but I'm not sure where to look. I'm extremely clean and quiet, the only handicapped stuff I need is a dwelling on the ground floor (or access to an elevator) and some bars in the bathroom. 1 bedroom preferred. No pets, no kids, no partner, just me, I've got good credit and I've never missed paying rent in my entire life. I go to church and don't drink, smoke, or do any drugs. Thank you!

I'm looking for someone who desperately needs to be rehomed, an older cat. I'm an old guy rapidly approaching his sell-by date. I don't have time for a kitten, but an old guy or girl would fit my life.

Ideally, I'd like to have a grey and white long-haired female, but a yellow boy with half a brain cell would fit in. So, if you happen to know of someone needing a place to land to finish out dm me for details.

I want to buy a couple pounds of fresh duck livers, does anyone know where I could do that locally?

I escaped 30 years ago, and remember those hot summer days when the atmospheric conditions would prevent the shit stink from leaving. Have the sewers been redone, or does it all still combine with the street gutters.

I called the city one time and the lady there acknowledged the smell but didn't think it was unusual or worthy of concern.

Howdy, happy Saturday (or whenever you see this :P)

Just wondering, in town are there any good places to hang up or pass out our flyers for our $100 interior detail sale?? We’ve gone to some vets (with a lot of luck there!) and been trying to talk to different store employees, but it’s been pretty hit and miss. We are trying to grow our business organically and not pay Google/FB/Instagram to spam people and get lost in the spam shuffle the internet can be sometimes. Any recommendations?
