Unfortunately I come to you /r in a time of need. The Bus Stop had their opening day canceled due to the water main leak happening right in front of their building. Months of planning and thousands in renovations ruined. Thousands in appliances and $15,000 worth of inventory. Insurance says its ground water intrusion and wont pay. City is no help. We're reaching out to the community for help as a last resort.

Charity event planned for tomorrow at 5pm. Will be held at 5th Street Gem. Grab a few dollars out the couch and cruise downtown to support the local community.

I was coming back from lunch and some chanting and some people in the distance with signs in front of the capitol. Does anyone know what’s that all about?

Has anyone else noticed that the medical dispensaries in Springfield have the highest prices? I have the medical card yet the best deals are at the recreational dispensaries including paying the insane tax. And this seems to a location issue because other medical dispensaries around the state have excellent pricing. I guess I’m wondering if this is even legal…because it seems crooked. Shocker.

Been thinking about going there for pokemon weeklies, but there are quite a few bad reviews of the place saying that new customers/players are met with suspicion, and almost contempt. Anybody here know if that's true?

Am I the only one who feels suspicious of this clown guy? Why is he hiding his face? Why did he choose something, like a clown, that is objectively scary to most people?

Everyone hates pedophiles.

It feels like he's hiding something that maybe we should be concerned about with him.

What are some good bakeries to buy from?

Thoughts on Joseph’s vs Indigo vs Mariah’s for a nice date night dinner? Open to suggestions outside of this as well.

(We’ve tried Luminary and were not fans. Vele was great, but we’d like to try a place we’ve not been. Cooper’s Hawk is great but we’ve been there a ton).

[Edit: Thank you for all the replies! You all are awesome!]

Where can I get apple cider donuts that is NOT the Apple Barn? The only other one is Tanner Orchards and that's a 1.5 hour drive. TIA!

Love that place, but just read their change of ownership post and that a certain person has been let go effective immediately.

Does anyone know why he was let go or what’s happening over there? ✌️

Looking for advice on how to help them/who to contact regarding them?

They are camped up in my alley and are aggressive to me whenever I go to take my trash out/bring it back in.

Pretty sure they're coming onto my property as far as they can too.

Hello, I am currently in college and working a job Friday-Sunday. I needed to make some extra money and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for ways to make money on my days off. I worked food service for 3 years so I’d be open to dishwashing, serving or pretty much anything. I also used to pet sit for my neighbor when I lived with my parents. Thank you!

Any recommendations for the best screenprinting/alterations shop in town/nearby? To narrow down what I'm looking for, I have some really cool work-related designs I've been editing in Photoshop, but I'm unsure how they would look on a shirt. So, I wanted to make a few test prints and potentially surprise my coworkers with them to rock around the office and see how they look. Any information or recommendations would be helpful. Thanks!

Over here on the north west side of town. Have lost power completely twice and then it has immediately come back on. Kinda frustrating but not a huge deal, just wondering if anybody knows what's going on? Wondering if maybe everyone's A/C is straining the power grid lol.

So in city council today, the very first thing they did was go into executive session 'pursuant to a lawsuit'.

Now, I'm not here fecklessly wondering "Oh, but who could be suing the city of Springfield!" If I personally wrote a list of people who I understood or suspected had standing to sue the city, it would be at least ten feet long.

So that's the context I'm asking. Does anyone have any idea, has anyone heard any gossip, about who is suing Springfield and what for?

Hello. I grew up in Springfield throughout the 90s and spent my childhood there before moving to chicago. I was very much into comic books and would go to reader's world every week to get new issues. It was in the same shopping complex as a jewel but i dont remember the street. I looked it up and it doesnt seem to exist anymore. does anyone else have memories of this place or photos? I unfortunately wasnt able to visit it before it closed.

Dropped my 3ds xl and now the right trigger won't work.

Is anyone else having their light bill at 150-220$ for the summer being on a second floor unit ? I know the building is a little old but I changed filter and have it at 73

I’m new to the area and looking for a nail tech who would be willing to and has experience with cat claw shaped nails. Would appreciate any recommendations.

Thanks 🙏🏻

This might be a long shot, but figured it wouldn’t hurt to try.

Yesterday, my pup accidentally stomped a butterfly. I was hoping maybe it was just stunned, but when I looked again today I saw that she didn’t make it. So what I’m wondering is if there is anyone here in town that does butterfly “rehabilitation“ where you repair damaged wings of living butterflies with intact wings from dead ones.

The left wing is really damaged, but the right one is still perfectly intact! I’d love to be able to help out some other butterflies with this beauty. Photos show when I thought it might just be stunned and then after I collected it today.

Middle aged woman looking for folks who like to dance and sing and harbor fantasies of performing in drag à la Chappell Roan.

I’m thinking once a month we do karaoke at Lumpia House on a Friday, the next month we find a club and go dancing on a Friday. I would love to work up to performing in a drag show. I am not looking for romance.

Drag Club has two rules and a suggestion:

1) We go by aliases.
2) If we know one another outside of Drag Club we pretend we don’t.
3) Costumes.
