Every single one of the churches that has a big “Vote Yes on 3” sign plunked down in front of them should be taxed. They wanna play at politics, then they should pay. Nearly every single one of them along Republic Road between Campbell and Scenic is displaying one.

Best pic I could get 😭😭 "Tax this Dick" Benjamin Franklin 🤣

This is in my neighborhood and I thought it was hilarious. I wonder where they purchased it???? 🙀 This made me giggle

And do the employees know?

I am trying to track down some indoor space around town where we can practice cricket over the winter.

We are not looking for anything fancy. An old warehouse, a large unused barn, or a large vacant commercial unit would be perfect. We just need enough overhead clearance to hang some practice netting and a relatively flat floor to roll out a carpet to simulate the center pitch.

Does anyone know of property owners with empty space they might be willing to lease out? We are happy to look outside the city limits if there is a good agricultural building sitting empty. Let me know if you have any leads or suggestions on where to look.

Also chime in if you're interested in a SGF cricket team.

Wife and I went out for ice cream and came back to our regular intersection in a huge kerfuffle involving massive crash and debris. I couldn’t tell who was hurt but the accident was nasty. Not sure how it went down but looked like a nasty fender crash sending a car into a pole. No damage to the pole from what I saw but the front end of the car was basically gone.

Are there any in-person Spanish learning classes in Springfield?

Our moped was stolen out of our driveway last night between 8pm and 8am. If anyone sees this bike pls DM me as this bike is a lifeline for our family and desperately needed.

Are there any parenting classes for people that have children older than newborns? Like school aged kids? Looking for resources on being a better parent, and this is one of many options I'm hoping to be able to utilize to meet my goal.

Springfield Home Sale Advice! 🏡

Hi all!

I’m selling a home for the first time and would love some honest feedback from local buyers.

It’s an older, updated home in Springfield, and I’m sharing some interior photos along with the details:

3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, approximately 1,730 sq ft.

Spacious kitchen and living room (my couch is HUGE) and a flexible bonus room with its own exterior entrance and closet. Great potential for a home office, guests, or multigenerational living. The primary bedroom has two standard sized closets and a 1/2 bathroom attached.

Large circular driveway with ample parking, but no garage.

Large exterior storage shed and fenced backyard with mature trees.

Roof and water heater replaced in 2022.

Located in northeast Springfield near Chestnut & 65.

We originally listed at $265K and recently reduced to $255K. We’ve been on the market for 11 days.

For anyone shopping in this price range:
Would the lack of a garage be a dealbreaker?
Does the price seem competitive for the size and features? Is there anything about the home or listing that would discourage you from scheduling a tour?

I’m genuinely interested in local perspectives as we figure out our next steps. Thanks in advance!

Looking for the best French dip sandwich

Just now down N Glenstone SPD blocked traffic for 4 charter busses to come through, each with several police escorts. Anyone know what’s up or who’s in town?

SPS has a day off soon and I was just thinking how screwed I would be if i worked somewhere with an inflexible schedule, didn't have a village, etc.

What do you do if you have an inflexible schedule, no partner, no village, etc? I don't even know how you would go about hiring a safe babysitter for your kid for a random day they were off of school, and I don't know how most working moms can pay a sitter for a week for like fall break.

What options are there? What strategies do yall use?

Hi! I have lived in Springfield my entire life but have generally been pretty intimidated with starting a new hobby or finding new people to hang with. I have varied interests. I’m 32, F, and a biologist. I am married and we enjoy similar things as well. If you have any good recommendations or know of any groups I could join, I am really just wanted to feel more comfy getting involved. My anxiety has been high recently so I feel like a hobby will help with my mental, too!

Some things I enjoy:

- walking
- hiking
- boxing (tried once and loved it but am intimidated so if you have good gym recs, I’d love that)
- being outside in general
- painting (I’m not good at it though, just enjoy it)
- reading (I’d love a book club)
- yoga (did this for two years but hot yoga was hard on my blood pressure - too low)
- have thought about a pole dancing or regular dance class
- love music but don’t play any instruments
- foreign language??
- birding

TIA!!

Does anyone have recommendations for local bridal gown dry cleaning (and estimate of cost if possible). Its not a vintage gown and I'm not wanting preservation, just wanting it cleaned

I'm in the market for my first tattoo. Are any local shops or artists doing flash sales for Halloween? Also, if you just have a great artist rec, lay it on me. I have 2 or 3 ideas, but I want something small for my first go.

Thank you!

Just a short rant about the most current commercial for Roof One. The commercial shows several guys catching and throwing a football, when one catches it they say their name and a (Christian) church.

As a potential customer, I really think this is tacky. The church you attend or belief you follow should not be used as a benefit or invitation to doing business with a them.

Maybe someone with knowledge about the focus behind the commercial can enlighten us.
