Joplin’s House of Lords was its most famous saloon,
with a bar and restaurant on the first floor, gambling
on the second, and a brothel on the third.
Trolley and rail lines made Joplin the hub of southwest
Missouri and, as the center of the tri-state district, it
soon became the lead and zinc capital of the world.
Joplin is a great little down, with a lot to do, and has
some great restaurants. I stop there a lot on the way to
Tulsa.
