Judge Marilyn Milian just might be my daytime television hero. That’s right readers, I am a fan of The People’s Court. I don’t know why, but whenever I hear the theme music and the announcer introduces the parties, I’m mesmerized. Reality TV might be notorious for manufacturing conflict, but I still love to sit back and watch the tempers flare from the safety of my living room.
Regretfully, there will be no new episodes of The People’s Court during my Thanksgiving holiday, but I’m getting my fill of drama nonetheless. This week, Vox is introducing a two-part feature series all about conflict. First up, we give you a run-down of the thickest court files in Boone County. Some cases are tragic, some are titillating, but all occupy their fair share of shelving space in the county clerk’s office. In Fight Clubs? our writers explore the nightlife of Columbia’s bars. You’ll be surprised at what they find. If these pieces don’t satiate your appetite for discord, be sure and pick up next week’s issue to read more about quarreling in Columbia.
Vox isn’t just taking on Columbia this week, we’re taking on the world ... or at least the World Wide Web. Check us out online at voxmagazine.com. We’ve got a newly designed site with all the stuff you want to know about the city — restaurant information, music reviews, an extended calendar listing and much, much more. It’s how to know where to go.
