The way I heard it, somebody moved in from NM and renamed it. I don't know for sure who it was because it was before my time. Leon

The bank in Tightwad had to start charging for checking accounts several years ago due to so many people opening an account just to show people the check. I got a check from a guy in Chicago on the Tightwad Bank. He was originally from the KC area.

Yes Darrel I'm a frugal tightwad and proud of it. A penny saved is a penny earned without taxes. Now being a cheapskate is a whole nother animal.

Haha. Nope, but if you’re heading to Tightwad and Toadsuck you go through Peculiar when leaving KC. Why your at it, you can head over to Cole Camp (I believe that’s it). Right at the interestion of “F” and “U”!

Green Forest Arkansas is a little town that’s been taken over by Tyson Foods illegals. If you go there you can buy T-shirt’s that say London Paris Green Forest. All towns in Arkansas.
Remember The TV show Evening Shade? that’s down by Strawberry.
And I live in Busch which is just down from Beaver.
Joe just so you know, Scottie has been to Busch.😆

Not much of a little town. The bank of course and a few other small businesses... Bout 15-20 minutes outside of Clinton Mo on 7 highway. Up until a few years ago had been going through that town about 45 times a year since I was 14.

Well, now I know where I was that fateful day. After all those hairpin curves, I figured I was back in Tightwad. Whew. Wish I would have bought that C too!

Our place is near the town if Lowry City, Mo. The wife’s grandmother won a contest for the phrase “Lowry City, Where the Ozarks Meets the Plains”. Phrase lives on today and every time I’m down there and look around, realize she nailed it perfect.
And every time I get the itch to grow something I’m reminded that our ground is more rocky ozarks dirt vs the black dirt on the plains
