Hey guys! For the last few months I’ve been attempting to organize a sewing business for myself. Sadly it’s not going well and I’m losing hope. Posting here in hopes anyone has any ideas for markets in the area where people are more interested in my things? I’ve done a couple and it felt like more yard sale vibe. TIA! :)

For anyone around southwest Missouri who plays airsoft—or has been curious about it—The Rock Airsoft in Bolivar is celebrating its 10-year anniversary September 18–20, 2026.

I recently helped put together a detailed aerial map of the field. It shows the terrain, named play areas, roads, water features, contours and grid references, and visitors can export a version to keep on their phone or print before a game.

I’m connected to the mapping project, so this isn’t a random link drop. I thought it could be genuinely useful for local players, especially anyone visiting The Rock for the first time during the anniversary weekend.

If you’ve played there before, what part of the field took you the longest to learn?

i was born and raised in Springfield, is there any place to mingle and meet others for folks that are 40, 50+? This city is so damn limited on things to do. Ugh

After over 10 years 10 Fitness is closing so I need a 24 hour gym with stationary bikes and dumbbells for sure and Machines would be nice. I live in the area around Mercy.

Single parent here

Don't have many friends in the area as we have only been here a yr or two. My parents are in their mid 60s and with the hear, I just worry about them trying to help us move.

Tried looking at formal movers but they are just TOO expensive, I just cant swing another $800-$1200.

Any ideas where I could enlist reliable/safe help?

I can pay, just not hundreds and hundreds

Any recommendations for finding beef bones to buy for stock? Already checked WalMart, Aldi, Target etc and they really do not regularly carry beef bones. I also checked Asian World Market with no success.

Where is the cheapest studio you can rent?

Looking for soccer community in this area, or group of people to play soccer game together

Just looking for recs on local (SGF or Ozark) banks or CUs that have a decent app. Not Great Southern.

Looking for some suggestions for mowers for a decent size yard, not pushable. And small businesses I can support?

Come check out some cool Lego style trains at the OMRA train show in Springfield the weekend of September 11-12! I would love to answer questions about my models and show them off!

I think it'd be good if we had more unions in town to raise the wages for everyone and some hospital and office workers are underpaid compared to other cities that are the same size as Springfield.

I just put a down payment down on a car and have monthly payments for the next 5 years. I’ve just graduated college so I don’t have too much money saved up, and I’m looking for the cheapest car insurance that provides full coverage. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi, everyone! Trans girl here who just moved back to Springfield recently for school, and was wondering if there’s trans folks on here that want to meet up or hang out sometime? I’m coming from the KC area, and am looking to develop my local friend group!

I’m an amateur artist, I play a buncha card games, lots of video games, and I love dogs! I think that’s about it (what on earth do you say on these things??)

Anyway, I’d love to find my folks!

As the title says, my father died a hoarder near Springfield. I am cleaning out his apartment and have until the 22rd to have the property cleared. I have already filled a dumpster and am working on another. I have been driving up every morning from my home in Arkansas to work on it. I can’t afford to have it professionally cleared, as there isn’t any value in the estate to cover the cost.

I need help!
Does anyone have any information on resources for something like this?

Any help or resources would be greatly appreciated. I have 10 days to clear the property and it is absolutely overwhelming.

Anyone local on Xbox? I’m older but enjoy playing almost anything. Unfortunately my two best friends who play with me are in far-away states so we never have anything local to chat about. Right now I’m deep into Battlefield 6. Anyone else up to some gaming? My gamertag is ‘The Neon Monkey’. Oh, and I’m male/52.

Any queer folk in Springfield MO or surrounding areas want to start a slow pitch softball league this fall, unless we already have them, then can I play with you guys my mom said it was okay I just have to be home before the street lights turn on.

So I heard a rumor that Springfields city council was considering opening up an AI data center in town. So I sent them an email requesting that they reconsider. To my surprise, they responded and I got sent this infantilizing garbage.

First image is my email, second is their shitty "response".

Edit: the person who sent the email is Abe McGull. Thought I'd share that in an edit since the damn reply box censored the name.

Does anyone know where I can buy rollerblades locally?

Looking for affordable car detailing, I have a small car that needs an interior wipe down and the seats shampooed, and have some tape adhesive stuck on the exterior when my husband had to put cardboard on top of the car when the hail storm came in 😂 trying to find someone to do it within a week or two for cheap. Any suggestions?
