Mizzou Grad here who lived in Columbia for 5 years and still has family that lives there. Booches does indeed have an outstanding burger. Shakespeare's Pizza is also a good pizza joint in town that's worth visiting. There are a couple of good breweries in town as well. Restaurants and maybe a stroll of the campus are going to be the only things worth doing in Columbia. Great college town and I love it, but not exactly a tourist destination. Let me know what kind of stuff you like and I can point you in the right direction.
Fritz's for the custard, Fitz's for the root beer

Oh forgot about Fitz's, don't think I ever tried Fritz's though. I liked Ted Drewes' custard and they seem to get really good reviews online still, so that's probably worth a stop if you are into sweets.Fritz's for the custard, Fitz's for the root beer
A look inside St. Louis Gateway Arch's $380 million makeover

I had to drive my Sprinter RV from Portland to Tampa a couple years ago.
I pushed through the center of StL on I70 as fast as that little Diesel could go, so I could overnight near Scott AFB. I saw the sign for Florissant Ave flash by at some point. I wasn’t stopping.
Riding up in the Arch is something everyone should do once.

You guys are missing out on the best barbecue places.
That's still in STL just after the airport - not too far from the college from which I earned my degree. As far as crime-ridden areas, there are certainly worse, although the now-famous Ferguson is only a few miles away. North STL has a few gang-infested hotspots that probably rival the East side in terms of violent crime but I suspect most cities have the same issues.
As has already been mentioned, the Arch is worth a visit, as is STL's beautiful Forest Park, zoo, art and history museums and science center. While I haven't taken the AB tour myself, most of those who have gone seem to really have enjoyed it. And of course there are a variety of little cultural pockets, eateries, watering holes, etc all over the place, depending on what you like to do. Busch Stadium is a beautiful ballpark and the Cardinals and their fans make for a great experience, although I may be a bit biased.
If you're a history buff there's downtown St. Charles and the Daniel Boone home further out West where you can see some pretty neat stuff. Tours of either area are usually on a scheduled basis and both move slowly so expect to be around for part of the day.
