This week I thought I would take you on a short tour of Golden City Missouri, a small town we always stop in when traveling to one of our favorite lakes. As you can tell from the photo its a small town, the intersection above (the one red light we found in town) brings you to a gem of a little cafe. "Cookys Cafe" is one of those places that each weekend people will arrive in small groups in cars, on bikes, motorcycles or just for some of the best pie west of the Mississippi. The owners will tell you they sell two kinds of pie; with ice cream or without. The truth is its something like 30 and they are all good.
The morning we were there we found a group of young people biking across the Midwest,
as well as the folks driving these motorcycles.
There is a saloon in town, the Side Door, it was closed.
A few antique stores.
There is an assortment of older brick buildings from Golden Citys past, still open is a one chair barber shop, small post office and mixture of newer places like a gas station and quick stop over on the other side of town where the highway skirts the city from the north.
Always a pleasure to stop.For more places visit or to show a place in your world visit here.

the town looks like one of those i've seen in the movies. quaint and everybody seems to know everybody:) nice post.
my world entry is up too.
What charming town! The pie at the cafe and the antique stores intrigue me. And that it's on the way to a lake makes it all the better!
We love poking around in these little towns - they have so much history. And the food is often the best to offer. The people are nice and are glad to talk about their community. Thanks for sharing your world.
In Britain, say "pie" and we think of a steak and kidney pie.
Over 30 varieties of sweet pie? Sounds like heaven. I wonder if I'll ever get the chance to visit.
I love reading about the various worlds of other people. Makes Geography very interesting.
Sort of like our city in a sense... it's mainly the reason I had moved out here. I like the atmosphere where you can walk down the street and everyone knows you by name... it's a great feeling!
I love this town. Seems so very far from here yet so within reach. Thanks for these images.
