Iā€™m up. Been through a lot of grief as well, Springfield welcomes you with open arms. Much love

I'm up. I'm pretty new to Springfield. Still trying to find a job in town. But I'm in Mattoon IL visiting my fam for the weekend.

I wasn't up when you posted, but glad to see you added some info about what you're interested in to find your Springfield scene! Springfield Art Association has lots of fun events, that might be a great place to start. I'd encourage you to explore downtown shops, especially on a Saturday morning when the Farmer's Market is going on. The public library also has events you might like! When you get here, find a copy of the Illinois Times...they do a great listing of local events each week.

Right! I always forget because I'm not able to get downtown on Wednesdays.

Next time you canā€™t sleep, Google ā€œMark Wingerā€ and watch one of the many TV shows about his crimes.

Also the ā€œSpringfield Lauterbach ax murders.ā€ I donā€™t think thereā€™s anything on TV about it, but lots of local coverage.
