From the Editor’s Desk

Local businesses are the lifeblood of our towns, and we will work hard to spotlight those entrepreneurs that bring vitality to our communities.

Welcome to the Regular Joe. We’re so glad you’re here. Our storytellers seek out and celebrate the diverse culture of Northwest Missouri and beyond. We hope that our focus on local businesses, artists, and authors inspires new ideas, hopes, exploration, and, dare we say, a new dream or two. Local creators of business, art, products, and experiences are the lifeblood of towns and cities across the country, and we will work hard to spotlight those entrepreneurs and their endeavors.

When we celebrate artists, we celebrate our region’s cultural identity.

When we celebrate artists, we know they express our region’s cultural identity. It doesn’t matter if they are musicians, writers, thespians, painters, or illustrators. We hope to inspire an exploration of local arts and artists. From documentaries to local plays, abstract paintings, or even novels about beings on a faraway planet, however subtly, every creator expresses their local time and place. At the very least, it’s exciting to know the writer is just around the corner toiling away (or staring at a blank page or cleaning the house for the ninth time… that’s what writers do). That’s what The Regular Joe is here to celebrate: culture through local businesses, artists, and authors.
