This is so amazing to be watching Jefferson City, Missouri where i currently live and work. I have been in this small and very peaceful city for the past eight years and I'm loving it. Since i migrated from Liberia in West Africa to the USA, Jeff City has been my kind of place to live and work.

I was born in Jeff City "Jefferson City". Downtown use to be called uptown when I was a child because it was up the hill. We moved away but it brings up memories. I visited the state pen when it was still in use, got to see the gas chamber and everything. I use to visit the Capitol often, loved it up there, the view was great and the museum inside with the paintings impressive. The Capitol was built because the previous one burnt down, so they made the new one fireproof, they modeled it off the Capitol in D.C.

I love seeing this town and especially this courthouse! My mom and dad got married in this courthouse in 1942. They lived in Illinois and had to cross the river into Missouri to get secretly married before my dad shipped overseas to fight in WWII. Marriage laws were different in Illinois and Missouri--in Illinois, legal marriage age was 18; my mom was 18 in December 1942, my dad would not turn 18 until March 1943. So they married in Missouri where the legal age was, I think, 16. Fast forward, they were married 57 years until my dad's death in 1999! What a story! Thanks for showing this, LS, means a lot to me!

The last residential area you went thru has a couple of newer buildings because it was ground zero for the 2019 tornado. Devastated the neighborhood and actually hit the prison area where you started at. Thanks for visiting !! edit - also at north side of Capitol building there is a new pedestrian bridge that goes across the RR tracks and down to Adrian's Island where there is a large park like area. You can see the curved pathways in the drone shot.

Born and Raised in Jeff City. We had a devastating tornado in 2019 which left this part of town destroyed, lots of older homes never were repaired. The fountains aren't running because it gets so cold here and the pipes will freeze. The capitol building has very old piping which makes it difficult to keep such fountains on during the winter.

I currently live in another state capital - Denver! I am Texas born. Mom and Dad divorced in 1967. The Air Force transferred Dad to Denver. Both parents remarried in 1967. I gained a second mom with a son and daughter, all with Colorado roots. All these years later, Dad and the Colorado family live in Texas. The Texas kid lives in Colorado. We are all happy about where we ended up. When I left Carson City in 1979, the destination was Colorado. In Carson City, I worked two legislative sessions as a committee stenographer. My wife worked for the State Printing Office. Her work schedule during the legislative sessions changed to graveyard hours. The printing office printed daily histories and the proposed bills on a nightly basis while the legislature was in session. The pay was awesome, and it was a number of years before we caught up with the pay rate we got while working for the legislature. I ended up being the person taking minutes at city council (Board of Supervisor) meetings.

One more footnote - In 1979, the Judiciary Committees of both houses held joint hearings regarding abortion. The local newspaper was an afternoon paper. When I saw the newspaper, the feature story was about those hearings. A photo accompanying the story prominently showed me at my post dutifully taking notes. Front page news. I immediately made plans to purchase extra copies of the newspaper the following day at their office. My wife woke me during the night with a phone call. On the day I appeared in a front page photo in our newspaper, the newspaper office was destroyed by fire. I got the extra copies of the paper at a local 7-11!

It's suffocating in the summer. There's no AC, or even fans. They have a lot of historical information on the various prisoners, which they post in front of the cells they were in. Pretty fascinating. That's my favortie part of Jeff is the hilly neighborhoods. We lost my daughter in the capital. Her boyfriend, my granddaughter and I were heading towards the exit. She got distracted by something, and didn't realize we were leaving. It took us an hour and the security guard helping us up until closing time to find her. It's a pretty big place, lol. Only problem with Jeff is that, other than around the capital and downtown area, trying to navigate is kind of a nightmare. The center of town is laid out pretty much in a grid pattern. But the rest of the city meanders with no real rhyme or reason. It seems like everytime I go to visit my daughter, I manage to get myself lost at least once. 🙄

Brings up SO Many MEMORIES... ...Lived (well, lived, just outside} in the smaller tight-knit communities) and Worked In. Miss it, Much! It is Certainly Cool to See it, and view the progress, as well as, the places that (certainly) look, just about, the same. It's pretty neat, cool, and amazing❣️ [I worked within the prison, when, it once was.]

Thanks for the wonderful video of our Capitol city. The front of the Capitol actually faces the river.

Really? The other side was much more grand, and had the Jefferson statue. Interesting.

Well Spoda...another finely done video my brother...Jefferson City is def my sized city that I enjoy visiting & again,the city is full of 1800's era homes and structures etc.,that I love as much as you do...and as far as the prison,I'm a firm believer in the death penalty so I would love to tour the Missouri state prison and learn about its history and the criminals who met there much deserved permanent dirt nap courtesy of the Missouri tax players...

I live in Jefferson City. You just posted this video 11th a ago. I discovered your previous video about rural Arkansas and was shocked that you were headed to my hometown next. I see that you have another video called rural Missouri unbelievable small towns. I’ll be watching that one next.

I like Jeff City. I have been there several times while serving in the National Guard. There is a museum at the state National Guard headquarters off 63 highway.

Beautiful city! Awesome drone shots! Enjoyed it all. Thanks for sharing. Consider this an invitation to come to my hometown in Hot Springs, Arkansas! Bathhouse Row and all the tourist sights here you would probably like. We also have 3 lakes and 2 dams. Tons of history here including Al Capone’s Museum. I could go on and on. Come see for yourself and be sure to bring your beautiful sweet wifey! 😬

We have done a video of Hot Springs. It’s on the channel! We thoroughly enjoyed an afternoon in a bath house. One of our favorite places, and we’re definitely going back.

We have two scholastic warehouses in our fair city that is why it is so high on the list of employers. Also Exchange Bank is now Hawthorn but they didn't change it on the building. Fun fact about the Capitol if you were not aware the doors are the biggest cast since the Roman Empire days. Oh and the Capitol just finished a major restoration.

I lived in Jeff City for several years while working for the federal government and also lived in Shelbina, MO. My husband and I lived almost separately for that long.
