| Jeff City, as it is known, is
the state capitol and it is well worth a visit just to tour the capitol
building with its impressive architecture, murals and really nifty
bronze-doored elevator. (We went there when I was in grade school
and met the governor. As I remember, the thing we were really
impressed by was the elevator!) The state penitentiary is in
Jefferson City and it is where the death penalty is carried out, making
it a focal point for rallies by people who are opposed to capital
punishment. Other than this, I honestly know little about the
place except that every time I go there I get lost. |
