We took a stroll through a lovely neighborhood in Joplin today. This beautiful area is basically located right in the middle of town, where you can get to just about anything in a few minutes. However, it's peaceful and quiet. Love this place!

ANOTHER great reason to get out of the house in Joplin this weekend!

The Second City returns with Laughing For All The Wrong Reasons, a hilarious new revue celebrating nearly 70 years of legendary sketch comedy and improvisation. Featuring a mix of iconic material, fresh new satire, original songs, and audience interaction, the show captures the fearless humor that made The Second City a comedy institution. The company has launched the careers of comedy greats including Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert, Keegan-Michael Key, and Bill Murray. Performed by the acclaimed Second City Touring Company, this fast-paced production delivers smart, irreverent comedy that feels both timeless and timely. May contain adult or mature content. For mature audiences only.

This performance is part of Connect2Culture’s Cornell Series 2026–2027. Doors open at 6:30pm. Tickets may be purchased at connect2culture.org, (417) 621-9824, or at the C2C box office inside the Cornell Complex (Tue–Sat | 1–5pm). Tickets: $50 (plus fees).

Joplin is a great place to start a business.

For two decades, the Joseph Newman Innovation Center has been giving local entrepreneurs a place to start, grow, and turn their ideas into something real.

We loved celebrating this milestone and the people who have made the center what it is today. Here’s to the next 20 years!
