Welcome. Yes there is a way to search for members in Missouri (there are 394 listed) or Joplin (there are 7 listed). However, many members do not put their location in their profile and many members do not post or even sign in after they join.
There is an advanced search in >Community >Member List >Search Members >
Advanced Search I don't know if that link will work.
