In honor of the 100th anniversary of Homecoming at MU, we asked students, visiting alumni and their families the same question: "What is the one place you absolutely HAVE to visit downtown or on campus when you come to Columbia?"

Scroll around the Google map, and click on each marker to see responses for the spot.

Here are the establishments with the highest number of votes, plus a few of our favorites:

MU Columns: 8
Shakespeare's Pizza: 7
The Heidelberg: 7
Francis Quadrangle: 6
The Shack: 4
Booche's: 4

Other noteworthy spots: the top of Turner Avenue Garage, Gentry Hall, the Residence on Francis Quadrangle, the bench directly to the left of the entrance to Ellis Library, The Candy Factory and the reading room at Ellis Library.

The Shack?
Really?
Are the ashes in an urn somewhere?
