But in October 2023, the shelter became year-round and found a permanent home at 1509 Ashley Street, on the city’s Interstate 70 Business Loop. On December 19th, 2024, a team of KBIA reporters spent a full day and night chronicling the lives of shelter workers and Columbia’s unhoused community.

NEW MADRID — At the New Madrid Historical Museum there’s an earthquake simulator where visitors get to play engineer. At their disposal are cylindrical wooden sticks and rectangular boards that can be constructed into simple buildings. A numbered dial is then turned, which causes the platform to shake, simulating earthquakes of varying intensity. Most basic buildings are fine in the 1.0-3.0 range.

PRAIRIE DU ROCHER, Ill. - On a cold winter day in Illinois, three little pigs are resting in a three-sided shed. They have plenty of space to trot around, as they do when Jennifer Duensing approaches. Those footsteps mean it's feeding time. They squeal impatiently, waiting for their usual diet of organic feed, which sometimes includes vegetables like squash grown on the farm. The farm, Illinois Country Harvest, had been in Duensing's family for generations when she took it over in 2015.
