411 Piazza Rd, Saint James, MO 65559

"I've lived in this area for most of my life, with the exception of a few years in the military, and this city, by far, is the most family friendly and community oriented I've ever seen. There is an actual drive in movie theater still going strong, and on most summer evenings the ball parks are full of parents cheering for their children, then afterward, the children cheering on their parents. The city is very involved when it comes to supporting the schools and the children. The county fair is held in Cuba, as well as parades in the summer and also at Christmas time, welcoming Santa and celebrating the birth of Jesus. it's a joyous time whether you are 1 or 101!. With Steelville, aka the "Floating Capital of Missouri" just 8 miles away, camping, canoeing and float trips await you, your family and friends for a relaxing time on the Meramec River. It's truly small town America at its best, where a funeral procession is met by citizens pulling off to the side of the road out of respect until the procession has passed, regardless of whom the procession is for, if the drivers that are pulling over know them or not, respect is still paramount in this tight knit community. As you have likely surmised by now, having lived all over the USA, I headed back to my hometown to raise my children in the same community I grew up in. And now that they are grown with children of their own, they too want to raise their children in the same community. If that doesn't speak volumes about this quintessential small town America community, then I don't know what would! "
