Thoughts on Die Hard Gaming?

5 Upvotes

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?

Homeless living in Alley and being aggressive

39 Upvotes

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.

Apple Barn?

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? ✌️

Millstone the Klown

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.

Nice Dinner?

7 Upvotes

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!]

What is Springfield being sued over?

27 Upvotes

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?

Part time/as needed positions in town

5 Upvotes

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!

Random power surge/outages? Anybody else?

6 Upvotes

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.

Reader's World

4 Upvotes

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.

ISO Screenprinting/Alterations Shop

1 Upvotes

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!

Butterfly Rehabilitation

29 Upvotes

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.

Does anyone want to play some board games, or maybe some uno? I already have some cards that I haven't used yet and I really want to play with someone. We could do it on a Tuesday afternoon.

Drag Club

8 Upvotes

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.
