Kingston Missouri Real Utopia Story of a Town
Kingston Missouri folded into a tale of decline as city marshal Lante Olver resigned after years in office saying no more arrests were needed. The town once boasted calaboose doors swinging on, two drug stores, a pool hall, bowling alley, and a busy saloon era vanished. Fewer arrests led to a sold jail and a drift toward quiet, with the marshal saying he would have no one to arrest and thus no place to collect his salary.
