What is Joplin Mo Known for?

 

What is Joplin Missouri known for?

Joplin's House of Lords was its most famous saloon,

 with a bar and restaurant on the first floor, gambling 

on the second, and a brothel on the third. 

Trolley and rail lines made Joplin the hub of southwest

Missouri and, as the center of the tri-state district, it 

soon became the lead and zinc capital of the world.

Joplin is a great little down, with a lot to do, and has 

some great restaurants. I stop there a lot on the way to 

Tulsa.
