Daytripping Chillicothe, Missouri

Ken and I set out for Chillicothe.  We had heard it was a tremendous town from some 18 something year old who showed up once at YJ's, and we have never seen him since.  He seemed to not know what he was talking about on a wide variety of subjects.  However, Chillicothe was one area where he seemed to have some expertise.

I know I misspelled Chillicothe in the lower 3rd graphic -- How, em-bare-assing.  As we enter town we are talking all sorts of smack on all sorts of stuff.  We head north into downtown where we park by the courthouse on this cloudy day.  The weather was a bit warm and muggy, but I think that the front coming through is a season changer.

The artist behind many of these murals is Kelly Poling.
