This is awesome . I'd upvote it more than once if I could.

This is an excellent list, thanks for making it!

Great list...I've done 24 of ,em!

I think this will be my 2023 goal list. I just moved here in August. Thank you.

Yes!!!! 1984 is an arcade downtown that would be great on this list!!!!

You can’t walk across the Jefferson foot bridge, sadly.

Also Farmer’s Park has some awesome things, too.

(If this is your type of thing) you’ll eventually be able to visit one of the numerous dispensaries in town.

Greek food at Greek Belly!

Live music and multiple venues.

awesome i love that idea!!

Better yoga studios than My Hot.

Fun Acre>>>>>>Getaway Golf

Edit: Booo Black Sheep. Go to Alamo Drafthouse for alcoholic milkshakes.

And not a single mention of the live music scene. We had 48 live music events just this weekend in the area.

will remove the foot bridge and add 1984 thank you!

Solid list. I'd like to add Fun Acres mini golf for the old school crowd. Also Millsap Farms pizza nights in warn weather, and I think they do some art and pottery classes in cold weather now. Roller derby is a blast. Airport Raxeway has dirt car racing in summer. Miller Missouri down the road has skydiving, airplane rides, and a cool aviation themed restaurant. Can't remember if Nature Center was on the list, but it's always fun.

I love how you worded each item. “Feed a giraffe” is much better than just “Go to the zoo”!

I bookmarked it to use for when family comes to town!

Have an epic walk at lost hill park. Not enough people know about this place, and maybe that's for the best

I'd add watch a movie at Founders Park during the summer.

Yea Fuck Black Sheep. Maybe black sheep 5 years ago. They cheaped out on all their ingredients and kept their prices high. What a joke. Used to be the best burger place in SGF but now I won’t event go there.

So it's not just me. I felt the burger was way overpriced for the quality of the ingredients.

Wire Road Brewery (also a coffee shop) is actually pretty impressive. Has huge outdoor area and features food trucks, sometimes live music, and you can bring your kids and dogs. (I've seen people bring other pets as well.)

They also have some unique coffee infused beers that are phenom.

Your missing doing meth in the parking lot of a movie theater

Sssshhhhh!

Definitely. It didn’t use to be that way. But the owners got greedy

Hopefully the foot bridge will be back in a few years. My understanding is that the refurbishing came in more than they had budgeted so they're looking around for more funding. But on the plus side, when it's completed it will have elevators for wheelchair accessibility and will be way safer than what it used to be. It was fun, but it was getting sketchy by the end.

And some rasslin'.

Or catch a live band. During summer they have live music on Wednesdays at lunch and on Artwalk Fridays they have bands while painters work on pieces live for the crowd. It's pretty fun.

The American Legion reminded me of the Junebug Jamboree. It's a big VW festival held there every year in June. Lots of bugs, dune buggies, micro buses on display and competitions. Last time I went they had a slow drag race. VW Bugs went up against each other to see who could drive 50 yards the slowest without using their brakes. Also it goes along with the botanical gardens, the Japanese Stroll Garden is a pretty cool little place. Especially during their fall festival. Riding bikes on the greenways trails is a fun way to spend the day too. Or if a person is into mountain biking and sailing, Fellows Lake has both of those things now. I'm a huge fan of the Route 66 festival in August. Great live music and cool cars on display. Pretty good list, I've been here over forty years and I'm seeing some things I need to try.

Edit: wanted to mention Thriller on C-Street every October. Pretty fun, though like a lot of those other events I mentioned it's a one day only thing.

I've always felt Drew Carey never got the credit he deserved for popularizing the concept of coffee beer on his show in the nineties. I'm sure it existed somewhere before then but not in popular culture. Then along comes the Drew Carey show with Buzz Beer, the beer that'll keep you awake to get drunk longer. And next thing you know every microbrewery has a coffee stout.

And drinking the sadness away of living in the bible belt.
