Seymour is a small town east of Springfield Missouri just off Highway 60. It is the kind of town that evokes nostalgia for the past. Dream on after reading this blog. Reality lives here.I will leave this pic in the heading for as long as it takes for Seymour to be smoke free.
Seymour Missouri is 0.5 target for a BNSF railroad accident carrying OIL within a safe 5 MILE radius. Where are you?Has the dinosaur Board of Aldermen - women too I think - thought about protecting you?
NOPE. Didn't think so.

UPDATE
Just today in Galena IL
(Reuters) - A BNSF Railway [BNISF.UL] train loaded with crude oilderailed and caught fire on Thursday afternoon in a rural area south of Galena, Illinois, according to local officials and the company.(3-5-15)
And one day it is likely.It is a disaster waiting to happen and the folks you put in office are the ones voting for this. Do not move to Seymour MO or it might be your last move anywhere but in the ground.
Flames 100's feet high can be seen for miles from BNSF crude oil derailment in Galen IL this past week.When will it happen to Seymour MO? From a former underground environmental activist on saving the planet: "The dismantling of infrastructure is the most important missing piece right now. It’s where the system is most vulnerable, so it should be employed right away. It can be effective, but it has to be responsible, careful, and extraordinarily smart." No one has to go out to do this, to be an activist.It is doing it to itself. See these explosions.
All the worst features of America have drained down to Seymour and concentrated there. In the whole area there is not one good restaurant. The food situation would only be tolerated by people who do not taste what they eat. In Seymour, the restaurants are not operated by people who ARE cookers and purveyors of food. They are opened by somebody who decides that "people always eat" so a restaurant is a "good deal." His/Her place will have a glass front so people can see in, and chromium fixtures. The food is bad U. S. restaurant food. So there he sits in his restaurant and looks at his customers with puzzled resentful eyes. He didn't much want to run a restaurant anyway. Now he isn't even making money.
This is paraphrased from William Burroughs description of The Valley in Texas between Brownsville and Mission in the 1950's. It fits Seymour Missouri, however, perfectly. You will do better stopping at McDonald's on 60 at the first Seymour traffic light intersection going east. Nothing to see or buy in Seymour.
Please forward this release to your local media outlets, and advocate for local chained dogs by speaking to caretakers, giving them water and shade, and calling authorities. Leaving dogs outside in this heat wave that is encompassing most of the country is extremely cruel! We are their voices. Thank you!
I have news for Dogs Deserve Better. Tell the authorities! In Seymour! Gimme a break! The PO - lice will look at you as if you have marbles in your head, then snicker when you are gone.
Speaking to caretakers! You have to be kidding Dogs Deserve Better. Try it and you will get cursed, have a gun pulled on you to "Git offen my property! Or I'm a gonna call the police on you!"
And they will too and you will get a ticket to appear in court or pay a $50.00 plus fine for disturbing the peace. This is how they run new eddicated folks outta town BTW.
But they sure will try to fleece you first.
Seymour may just be one of the Dog Chaining Capitals of the US if you do stats based on per capita. Oh I forgot they can't do arithmetic, much less understand statistics. The superintendent of schools in Seymour interpreted an increase of a few students as a trend!
Well poor thing doesn't know what a statistical trend is when he is interviewed by the local newspaper and well, they don't either as he didn't get called on it last August. The local govt hired him though so he's a good ol' boy judging from reading about him in his new appointment. Supers come and go through revolving doors around here. We here have real smart local govt. Can'tcha tell?
When thinking of moving here you might want to think about renting or buying a house here. Next door could suddenly have a mini puppy mill for you to listen to. And watch them chained or penned in the heat with their water spilled. Never petted or brushed so their fur is all clumped with heavy winter balls while they swelter. Then you get to watch them shiver and hear them yowl in the cold, shake and try to get under cover in the rain.
Yeah it's a great place to retire. Real cheap. I wonder why it's so cheap!
________________________________________________________________________________ Update: If the law requires people who have a pool, to have a fence, it can require one for a dog. Not everybody has a pool, but you are more likely to get attacked by a dog who breaks his chain & gets loose & is angry, than you are to fall in someone's pool that doesn't have a fence. A chained dog that gets loose is more of a danger to your Grandma, your kid, your dog, and even you, than a POOL. Nobody wants to buy a house next door to a chained up dog, so the property values go down. I had my dog attacked in Seymour MO by a chained dog getting loose.Went to police who did nothing as owner was an ex cop. But the mayor Jerry Miller cut down my red clover in my garden because it drew too many bees.That's Seymour for ya folks!
Seymour MO Dog Chaining Capital of US
How'd you like to buy a house only to find this next to you.You have no idea listening to them cry in the summer (owners are in air con so don't hear the cries)and shivering to death in the cold while you look, listen and can't stop it.You will suffer all the time and will not be able to enjoy your new retirement home.You will want to sell out but the price will be lower than you paid because no one wants to live next to this scene.
Well it feels like it. Cars with open windows drive by and their smelly exhaled breath assaults you. Difficult to walk around the square, attend events in the park, walk your dog, take your children for a stroller ride without smelling cigarette smoke wherever you go.
Walk around at night and the damp grass smells of it in front of most houses.
Every single greasy spoon heart unfriendly restaurant allows smoking, so if you want to smell the stinky ashtray smell while you eat then by all means ..........
Be aware that this lowers your real estate prices dramatically. It causes people to NOT want to come here to live. It attracts lower income residents and further deteriorates the business atmosphere around the lovely park.
