[Igor in CT]

From the Missouri Press Association Web site ... Rolla is on I-44, about 100 miles SW of St. Louis - that's all I got.

So they don't cover UMR?

Unless something has changed since I was younger, Rolla is something like 75 percent dudes. So guys, if you're going there to look for your soulmate, you might want to bring your A game -- you'll have lots of competition.

 

[MU_was_not_so_hard]

Oh, and UM-R is now Missouri University of Science and Technology.

Hasn't this job been open once a year for the last few years?

 

[Tom Petty]

avoid at all costs. take my word for it. i'd rather the heartbreakers go hungry and i declare BK than take this job. i **** you not.

 

[thegrifter]

I gotta agree with TP on this one, and that rarely happens.

Is it a red flag if a publisher wants the resumes first before the editor?

 

[Diabeetus]

Rolla is a dump of a town. Nothing at all to do there.

 

[The Granny]

You can get your kicks on Route 66, however.

that does seem just a touch odd, doesn't it?

I-44 through Missouri has got to be among the top 10 worst stretches.

 

[pallister]

I've driven through 10 worse stretches since June. I-44 from St. Louis to Springfield is not like driving through Montana, but it's head and shoulders above any stretch of interstate in Illinois or Indiana and anything on I-75 in Georgia -- unless you're a fan of construction cones.

I-29 - Fargo, N.D. to the Canadian border: America's sensory deprivation tank.

 

[2muchcoffeeman]

I-80, Grand Island NE through Cheyenne WY. Also I-80, Laramie through Rock Springs WY.

Believe it or not, I once saw Adam Sandler in Rolla. He had a great line: "They asked me where I wanted to go on this tour ... L.A., Chicago, New York. I said, '**** that, I'm goin' to Rolla.'"
