Sometimes the parts seem to be more significant than the whole. Spyder riders (or ryders as it is sometimes spelled) love to customize their bikes and gear. That’s what made Spyderfest such a show for the locals in Cuba during the Spyderfest U.S. 2012 event in April. This short slideshow shows many of their modifications [...] The registration for the Saturday, November 13 Route 66 Association of Missouri meeting and luncheon is nearing 100. The group arrives in Cuba from all over the state, and some from out-of-state, to meet , eat, and socialize. There are also many local members of the Route 66 Association as well. The activities take place [...] I was looking for another photo from 2006, when I ran across these photos from January 2006. This was before the murals were painted on the Phillips 66 Station.

The City of Cuba and Viva Cuba are partnering to revive the Adopt-A-Street program in Cuba, which has lost some of its momentum in recent years. Some of those who had adopted [...] A small town like Cuba, MO is made up of people and their stories such as the one below. How does a 30 year-old prepare for her 31st Crawford County Fair? Will the “blue dress” make another appearance? What is this fair participant’s long-term goal? Is another generation bitten by the “fair bug”? For the [...] Cuba, MO: Bullets fly; a fort explodes, scenes of heroism occur. Viva Cuba’s Civil War murals on Buchanan Street evolved daily from sketches to full-color scenes of drama and history.
