QUESTION OF THE DAY: Are you avoiding graduation crowds in Columbia this weekend?
Matthew Sanders
It’s the University of Missouri’s graduation weekend, with thousands of family members and alumni flooding town to celebrate the Class of 2026.
For locals, that means lots of extra traffic (especially with ongoing road work on major routes), long waits at restaurants and other inconveniences. Of course, the commerce does a lot of work to prop up the local economy at the same time.
Regardless, some people would prefer to avoid the crowds. Are you one of them?
