dylan15+FollowColumbia’s Rock Quarry Park gets an inclusive upgradeA brand new, fully inclusive playground is coming to Rock Quarry Park, and it’s set to make a real difference for families in Columbia. Thanks to a $150,000 donation from the Cosmo Luncheon Club and support from the community, the old playground will be replaced with a 17,000-square-foot space designed so all kids—including those with disabilities—can play together. This is more than just new equipment; it’s about making sure every child feels welcome and included. How do you think this will change the park experience for local families? #Travel #ColumbiaMO #InclusivePlay00Share

Jacqueline Ray+FollowColumbia taco spots face cleanup ordersSome of Columbia’s favorite taco and sandwich spots are being called out for dirty equipment and missing food safety basics after recent health inspections. Tacos 4 Life was told to clean up soiled soda nozzles, ice machines, and more—plus, employees didn’t have food handler cards. Other places like Hot Box Cookies and Jimmy John’s need to fix broken freezers and add thermometers. While most issues aren’t critical, it’s a reminder of how much goes on behind the scenes to keep our food safe. What do you think—should these reports affect where we eat, or is it just part of running a busy kitchen? #Health #BodyHealth #ColumbiaMO00Share
