Missouri (MO) Starter Pack
Mostly statewide people but maybe some MO city-specific folks from KC, STL, COMO, Joplin, Springfield.... I have a starter pack specific to STL (search St. Louis in the directory), gonna try to wait and let locals make their own starter packs for their towns, but the urge to make lists is strong!
