Kirksville’s culture should be nourished

I don’t get out a lot while in Kirksville. Every once in a while, my girlfriend and I will swing by the movies and we sometimes stop at restaurants or thrift stores on The Square. But once in a blue moon, I find the motivation — school assignments — to visit places of a more “cultured” variety. Art, music and self-expression set Kirksville apart as Northern Missouri’s cultural center, and it is important that Truman State staff and students recognize the significant impact the University can and should have on the growth of art and expression throughout Kirksville.
