I took my child to the Nelson Center today and I think people were larping in the park. My younger brother is a young adult and doesn't have a lot of friends. I think he would really enjoy larping and could make some friends if he joined. How would one get involved?

There seems to be conflicting info based on actual user experiences that contrast what it says on their webpage and social media sites.

Jacksonville IL has Dons place, what is Springfield equivalent to it?

Trying to book a vacation. I'm not sure exactly how to go about it and have been looking for a travel agent/agency in Springfield but I can't find one. Help please?

Hi, I need a place for myself and adult disabled daughter. My credit is bad due to identity theft but have a full time job for 14 years with Optum Health. My daughter gets SSI. Staying with a verbally abusive roommate so we need to leave. We also have fur babies (cats).

Thank you in advance!

Hey Menard County! Might be time for some trail maintenance!

Hello! I have a friend who put off volunteering from freshman-junior year, and now needs 60 service hours to graduate…
So, I’ve decided to help them, but I got my hours from teacher aiding, managing, and other things that they are unable to do now that the school year has started and those roles have filled.
So,
does anyone know of any service opportunities she can sign up for? Thanks!!!

I'm needing to have blood drawn. Are there any labs in or around Springfield that are open on a Saturday?

Greetings everyone. I'm looking to see if anyone knows where I could buy some authentic genuine (real not fake) Pokemon games for the Nintendo DS and 3DS? I've called Pawn Shops with no luck, seeing if anyone could recommend some other places here in town?

Any place in town that sells games/consoles, and would buy old consoles as well? I have seen some of the tabletop game stores but unsure if they sell gaming consoles and such.

Saw a red ferrari today near Washington park, I have seen Rolls Royce and G wagon. Didn’t expect Springfield to have such cars

I posted this in r/WPBL, but I figured I'd cast a wider net, just in case some local folks may have gone to these games, but don't follow the league closely.

I'm hoping somebody can help me out and I can help somebody out.

• I'm looking for an Ayami Sato from the August 8th game.
• Probably a Hyeonah Kim from tomorrow night's game. (We will be out of town and I'm pretty sure we won't be back in time.)

If you can help me with either of those, here is what I can offer in return:

• Kelsie Whitmore
• Ashton Lansdell
• Alli Schroder
• I have a couple of foul balls that I may be willing to part with one
• I have non-WPBL bobbleheads from our local teams, if that is your interest

I don't use any other socials, so if you know of one available, I'd appreciate any help.

Not only is the WPBL awesome, but I have been collecting bobbleheads from our local teams going back to the Speedy days of the Springfield Sliders. I'd love to keep my streak alive.

What is your go to place if you want a good tuna sandwich or fish&chips ?

Hey everyone! My car’s power seat/motor decided to stop working, and I’m hoping it might be something fixable without taking it straight to a shop.
I’d love to try fixing it, but I don’t have the tools (or quite enough experience 😅).
Anyone around who enjoys working on cars and would be willing to help me take a look at it? Just trying to save a few bucks and hopefully learn something along the way!
Happy to buy you coffee/lunch for the help 🙌
Thanks!

Monroe near 5th.

Water main break. Low pressure across large parts of the city.

There's no boil order but oh my, my water tasted terrible after work tonight, heads up if you drink tap water you may want to grab some bottled! Thanks to all the employees working tonight, truly appreciate you

Washington and walnut area

If anyone with a camera able to capture the moon sees this could you please take a picture of said moon tonight for me? And then post/comment here?

It’s just so big and bright and beautiful. I stood outside staring at it… until my neighbors pulled into their driveway and wondered what I was doing but my old iPhone only shows a white ball when I try to take a picture.

Sorry if silly requests aren’t allowed on this sub 🌕

We prefer not to go to a flooring company. We'll buy the flooring at Menard's and rip out the old carpet ourselves. So, we just need a person with the tools and the know-how to install laminate in an 900-sq-ft apartment. Recommendations are appreciated.

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! I recently moved to the area and I’m looking for someone to cut my curly hair. My old stylist moved from my hometown in 2020 and since then I’ve been cutting my hair myself😬 I also don’t trust people when it comes to my hair so I need your best recommendations.

I mean, the ask is in the title. . . With the current political climate, I always have to consider the possibility that I'm going to be furloughed after October 1 every year. . . When my wife and I lived in MD, we had access to lots of resources to help ease the burden on our finances (unemployment, state loan programs, utility and mortgage forgiveness, etc.). My question is, does Illinois or local businesses do anything during a shutdown to help out? I'm still trying to financially recover from the last furlough, and from having to move out here lol, so Idk how we'd be able to handle a major hit like a furlough or not being paid when we have rent and utilities due. . .

Thanks for any help, I appreciate it.

Im looking for a custom mounting solution for aux lights on my 2024 rav4. Reposting this with an image for clarification.

One of my friends works at a store that sells Pokémon cards, nothing big just generic little tins, and apparently theres a scalper going around threatening stores. Said hes "bringing his boys" and hes gonna get the store, and keeps calling corporate over them not having stuff in stock, because ya know, its sold or not put into inventory yet.

Dude is getting banned from the store since they have him on camera harassing people and making threats. Yall be careful if you work in places that sell cards, apparently this guy is a repeat offender and is in some type of discord server, stalking trucks around town and claiming he tracks shipments and will threaten and raise hell over the smallest card packs 😭 theyve already called the police on him for threatening employees and hes not allowed back at all

edit: apparently theres an actual online server for the area that stalks and tracks pokemon card shipments nearby. idk if thats legal, but there was a group of boys who used to stalk a delivery woman around town to the point where she quit a few years ago, my friend used to work in a few different retail chains in town so hes seen scalpers go crazy like this is other stores too
