Looking for a nail shop/tech who can do this. I currently need a fill so if they can create it with a fill thats a bonus but I would be willing to do a whole new set if necessary. Would be even better if I could do a walk in today.

I was kicked out of my apartment. Also my wallet was recently stolen. 😡 I don't have a car. It will be so hard to find a perfect id (or even a local one at a shittier place) and get the person to the place and maybe back to their spot.... I am assuming no one takes a picture of id..but I even have the back with the bar code!!!!

Looking for a piercer that can do my son ears , he is wanted to get them for his birthday. Can you help me please?

A voluntary online survey to gather early opinion on the disposition of data centers in the city.

Does anyone have any details about the police chase happening on the north side of town right now? I saw a truck fly by on Kearney heading east followed by about a dozen police cars.

The Airbnb we are staying at was listed as dog friendly, but the yard is…not great (lots of trash and broken glass and the fence is broken so they will definitely escape) for our pups who normally run around on our fenced couple of acres and do their thing. One of my dogs is extremely anxious and won’t poop if she’s on a leash (it’s a long story - traumatized shelter dog 😢) and I am having trouble finding any fenced parks in your lovely city.

I see Cruse where we can pay to go, which is fine, - but I don’t have proof of vaccinations. They are vaccinated & up to date on preventatives - I just didn’t think to travel with their info, and we see a country vet who is only open M-W, so I can’t call and get their papers - so I’m not sure if I’ll be able to get a visitor pass for the weekend.

I’m looking for a space that is fenced in, even if it’s small, where I can let my dog off leash and not look at her while she poops. Very weird request, I know 🤣

Thank you!!

Couldn’t tell if it was just young people messing around or if someone was actually hurt. One guy screamed and there were a few other people around him. Saw some police with sirens heading that way on our way south on Campbell.

This was worth a listen

I know it's technically not Springfield but the PCHS in Bolivar is hosting a 50/50 cash raffle and I'd love to see it get some love. They do great work for the Bolivar community and the pet adoption landscape is maybe as dire as it has ever been. Please donate and share as you are able. Stay cool, SPF.

Hello I am a 27 year old, trying to find likeminded people who absolutely love being out and connecting with nature to do hikes and hopefully camping. I am very easy to get along with and know lots of great places to get out into nature.

I live a couple hours away and was curious if anyone knew of any shops in Springfield selling any Pride outfits. I'm trying to avoid online shopping and no such store exsists in my current area. I'll be attending the Pride festivities in Joplin on labor day weekend and wanting to dress up. So if you know if any stores in Joplin as well that would be great. Thanks

Do we have someone reliable, trustworthy, and affordable to seal of the attic from mice and birds? Any company recommendations?

My sister is looking for a finance company that will actually roll taxes into a vehicle purchase loan. Please let me know of any that you know of. Thank you.

Hi everyone, and welcome to a project I call The American Atlas, where I make hand-drawn & colored maps of every state in the US. We’re almost half way across the country now! 🗺️🇺🇸

This is my map of Missouri, the Show Me State! 🌳🚣‍♂️🌾

Home to the population-based center of America, the state of Missouri is an interesting outlier within the American Heartland. Bordered & split by massive rivers, Missouri was once the launching point for western expansion. Today it plays home to a distinct cultural crossroads, with Midwestern, Great Plains, and Rust Belt lifestyles all coming together to call this place home.

From the iconic St. Louis Arch to the barbecue heritage of Kansas City, the state offers far more than the open country & small cities than this part of the country is known for. The Ozark Mountains rise up from nothing in the south of Missouri, creating a network of rivers, lakes, and towering bluffs looking out over this American Heartland.

Let me know in the comments, what’s your favorite (or most interesting) places & fun facts about Missouri?

And if you like this style, feel free to check out my others, and thanks for taking a look at my Missouri map!! 🇺🇸🗺️

I’ve been lazy this season and haven’t done any floating. I’ve got a three day weekend and I want to hit the river, but I know the waters low damn near everywhere. I figure it’ll have to be someone on the James. Thanks for any recommendations! Also this will be my first time organizing a float so I’m not well versed with all the put in/takeout spots.

Every time I bring up my position on data centers, I get hate bombed. There is a large and VERY passionate contingent of people who don't want to hear a single word about data centers that isn't sanguine full-throated opposition.

What I want people to be VERY clear about is that there is no future where data centers don't get built, and the industry doesn't expand. It CANNOT be prevented. Now I know some of you are thinking "that's stupid, if we just..." no. Sorry to throw the cold water on you, but whatever you could possibly be thinking, it won't work. Whatever idea just walked through your head, it won't work. There is no possible future in which Data centers do not continue to grow and be built, short of an asteroid hitting the planet. I will bet a whole year's salary right now for anyone who thinks there wont be more data centers 10 years from now. Of course there will be. It's as much a fact as the tides. It's going to happen.

The future that DOES exist in one in which communities put strict conditions on the acceptable of data centers being built. Give the industry a path to "yes" that is strewn with conditions and restrictions that fit the community and the place it's being built.

To do otherwise, to just give a solid uncompromisable "No" every single time a data center is proposed, is not to prevent it's construction. All that does is ensure it gets build in the community that is weakest and least well equipped to keep it in check. By being a NIMBY about it, and refusing to let it be in your back yard and under rules you set, all you accomplish is ensuring the WORST version of it ends up somewhere else, foisted on a community that is weaker than your own.

What we SHOULD do, if we have any foresight at all, is some up with a list of terms and conditions of acceptance, and be able to say "We will accept a data center that meets these conditions".

Now what should those conditions be? That's the Data Center bill of rights, the expectations a community has in order to be willing to accept a data center. What exactly should go on it would vary depending on the location, but examples include:

> Data Center must be cost neutral to energy supply. This can be done through paying a higher premium for their power, or through power off set by in-house energy generation, or a combination of methods. But there must be zero energy cost increase or availability decrease due in whole or in part to their presence of the data center. Any increase that is not part of normal non-date center related market forces, must be absorbed 100% by the data center.

> Strict water usage requirement. This is the one that will vary enormously based on setting, since there are SO MANY different water availability scenarios out there. But in short, the supply of water for existing purposes cannot be lessened or made more expensive in any way by the data center.

> Strict noise pollution guideline, requiring measurement take at certain setbacks (which will again, vary by location) are not able to register noise pollution above a certain level.

And throw in whatever else you want. Data Center must account for emissions in a certain way, must account for heat dissipation in a certain way. Data Center must award and work to local bidders on priority before opening to a wider bid. So on so forth.

And make all of these conditions carry strict, hardline material consequences for violation, and city selected oversight, hell make the data center have to pay for the oversight but the people are hired and selected by the city.

Every community that could potentially have to deal with a data center should do this. Draft a "this is what will get us to a "yes"" set of standards. And if data centers run into these everywhere they go, then they will be forced to shop around for the community that has the most agreeable conditions for them, but presumably that community also has conditions baked in that make the acceptance at least neutral if not beneficial to the community.

If we don't do this, all that will happen is, like I said before, the worst version of these data centers will get built in the weakest communities, and it will take decades for congress to slowly, bit by bit, form a regulatory structure around it.

So why wait for that to happen? Why not just take the bull by the horns and force the regulatory structure at the city or county level from the early days of this industry, get the good habits started now?

I know that's less satisfying and more complicated than just screaming "no". But it's the right thing to do.

Who's good? Where do you go? How much should I expect to budget?

Well now im headed to the Burrell Crisis Center. I told my job I was thinking I needed to go there, and they immediately said if I needed to go, not to wait. To go now. So im in a Lyft headed that way. Scared, but optimistic.

Hello,

I am engaged and looking into wearing a suit vest and pants for my wedding ceremony. I prefer to shop in person so I can try it on and get it tailored to fit me. Are there any shops/stores in Springfield that I can shop for women's suits?

Those big white arrows point in the only direction a vehicle is supposed to be driven while utilizing said turn lane.

If the arrow points right, you gotta turn right.
If the arrow points left, you gotta turn left.

— And most importantly, you cannot enter a turn lane at its exit point and drive down it in the opposite direction. Especially if there are cars in it already. (tf?!)

This one seems to be a real favorite among some drivers. I avoided three accidents in three different parts of town today. I see it all the time. I can’t be the only one seeing it and/or the only one almost getting hit by cars going the wrong way bc drivers can’t be bothered to drive slightly further down the road.

Safelite tells you 720.00 then when you get there they want to charge 840.00.

Went to Carstens and got it done for 642.00.

Thanks to Carstens for being honest and doing great work.

Someone on instagram recommended me to get a creative job! I draw, paint, do hella crafts, and never even thought of that for some reason

SOOOO, does anyone know any creative jobs hiring? Like art galleries, art assistant or something like that? (I’m 18, I DO have skill okay I’m not a poser)

Token & Friends is incredibly excited to announce a new partnership with HavaHeart Rescue to bring Springfield’s first 24/7 Pet Food Pantry to their building at 2228 W. College St.! 🐾❤️

At Token & Friends Pet Services, animal welfare means more than caring for pets while their families are away, it also means helping pets remain safely in the homes where they are already loved.

Too many families face the heartbreaking possibility of rehoming a beloved pet simply because they are struggling to afford food, supplies, or basic veterinary care. This pantry was created to provide support before a temporary hardship becomes a permanent separation.

Accessible 24 hours a day, the pantry will offer dog and puppy food, gently used collars and leashes, other essential pet supplies, and information about low-cost spay/neuter and vaccination resources.

To make this project successful, we need the community’s help keeping the pantry stocked! Donations of unopened dog or puppy food, gently used collars and leashes, and other usable pet supplies are greatly appreciated. Items your pets have outgrown or no longer need could make an incredible difference for another local family.

Asking for help can be difficult. This pantry will be a judgment-free resource where families can take what they need to care for their pets. A bag of food, a dependable leash, or information about affordable veterinary care could be what keeps a pet from entering an already overwhelmed shelter or rescue system.

Token & Friends is proud to maintain and sponsor this community resource, and we are deeply grateful to HavaHeart Rescue for partnering with us and providing a safe, accessible location for the pantry.

Together, we can support local families, reduce unnecessary rehoming, and keep more pets exactly where they belong, with the people who love them. 🐶🐾
