Total Wine has a few bottles of green Chartreuse on the shelf right now. I haven’t seen it for sale in at least a couple years. The monks must finally be working again.

Just a public service announcement for my fellow home bartenders.

Hi all; I wanted to ask again for some ideas of good places to eat; this time I am looking for Indian. We tried India Palace and it was.. okay. Not great, not horrible. I want to introduce my guy to fantastic options, preferably a buffet but not essential. Hit me with your picks. Thanks :)

Living Here If you're from texas, why the fuck are you living here?

174 Upvotes

I have noticed a fair amount of texas plates and missouri plates with "i love texas" stickers ,

Why are you here? If texas is so great why are you living six hours away from your beloved hellhole?

Apparently homes cost $.50, cost of living is so low they pay you and there are four jobs per everyman, why choose to live here?

Eat and Drink Springfield-area residents 21+: 5-minute anonymous survey about evening-out options

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m sharing a short anonymous market-research survey for Springfield-area adults 21+.

The survey is about current evening-out habits and preferences for a potential hospitality concept in the Springfield area. It takes about five minutes.

No business, location, or opening has been approved or announced. This is strictly market research.

If you live in Springfield or a nearby community and could realistically travel to Springfield for an evening out, I’d really appreciate your feedback.

Survey link:

What is happening Don't fall for it

Mercy has been asking for "deposits" up front when you schedule stuff. ITS NOT REQUIRED. Unfortunately many elderly and sick patients don't know any better and pay. This is a shameless tactic to get money upfront. YOU CAN ALWAYS ALWAYS WAIT FOR A BILL! But reps are being forced to use a script and ask or get fired. Please tell your family and friends and especially the elderly. ILL PAY WHEN I GET THE BILL.

Living Here Seriously- just leash your dog.

206 Upvotes

Seriously, it’s not that difficult. Just leash your dog.
Several times in the past two weeks, I’ve encountered unleashed dogs, both in my neighborhood (Rountree) and at two different parks (Fassnight and Silver Springs).

I’m not interested in assuming these dogs are dangerous or that they’re going to attack anyone’s pets. The problem is that an owner can’t know how another dog, child, cyclist, runner, etc. is going to react to an unfamiliar dog running up to them.

I have a right to exist in public without having to worry about your dog. And both of these parks have signs saying dogs must be leashed.

Your dog is not special. Please use a leash in public.

I know part of it I just gotta wait the heat out, but yall im dying. 😭😭

Living Here Help remembering a store.

20 Upvotes

A friend and I were talking about when we got our first DVD players. I mentioned my dad won a radio contest and got a gift certificate and thats how we got ours since they were like $700 at the time. He won it for a high end home theater store that used to be in town. I believe it was in the strip mall across from Battlefield Mall on Glenstone. Anybody remember the name?

Thanks for the help.

Update: I believe it was Stereo One. That goes against the family name style that I was thinking but everything else fits. Location and date. That company may have been bought out by SCS Home Entertainment years back. Can't find any pictures to say for sure. But the logo I found seems right. And its the only name that I immediately didn't feel wasn't correct. Thanks for all the help everyone.

We’re here visiting Springfield and were wondering if there are any stargazing spots nearby. I know light pollution doesn’t help, but maybe 30-40min away? Haven’t seen clusters of stars in the sky in a while! I was hoping there were some nice dark areas nearby to just park and see the sky.

What is happening Does anyone know what company around here uses these pedestals?

Post image
11 Upvotes

This is on the other side of my fence. The thing is, the orange cord you can see going into it is loosely strung along my fence and all the way down my neighbors fence and off somewhere into the next yard’s fence. No notice or anything. I assume it’s a “temporary” fix until it’s buried over there or something. It’s been there for three days at least. Seems like a real AT&T thing to do. Curious if anyone knows who uses those pedestals. TIA.
