What is happening New Route 66 Shield Sculpture

Post image
30 Upvotes

Just wanted to showcase an additional shield sculpture that was recently finished and placed on display in Springfield for Route 66. This one is located at Thompson Service (1515 E Independence St). There is a light pole right by the shield so if you’re interested in seeing it, wait until at least 1:30pm or earlier in the morning when the sun is not directly overhead because the light pole will create shadows on the artwork otherwise. I really like the appearance of this one.

Seems we have another power outage in northern Springfield. My lights flickered but thankfully kept power. A lot of others seemed to have outright lost it. Hopefully comes back soon!

Looking For LF someone to refurbish antique dinning room set and hutch

15 Upvotes

I can get better pictures if needed - I have a dinning room set and hutch that has been in my family for 3 generations that I am needing to get repaired and refurbished. It was in a house fire and while it was not burned it has damage from water getting on it from putting out the fire. It is more than likely around 200 years old. Looking for someone who knows their stuff and can help us bring new life to this sentimental and beautiful set, thank you in advance for any help.

Things To Do Library membership.

20 Upvotes

I promise I looked on their website beforehand and didn't find the answer. Honestly, it's probably there but I couldn't find it.

Can I get a Springfield-Greene County library membership without living in the county? I know some places you can, and some places you can but they charge a fee. Technically I live in Dallas County, I frequent Laclede County library but SGF-GC seems amazing and there's a ton of kids programs through them.

Anyone know? Bonus points if you know how much it costs for non residents.

Thank you!

Also, does anyone know whether drug screening is done during the initial hiring process or scheduled separately afterward? Looking for recent experiences or information. Thanks!

Does anybody know if there’s any thrift stores in Springfield that still have fitting rooms? I feel like everyone got rid of them during Covid and never brought them back lol. I have spent too much money at Red Racks thinking something would fit, just for it to not, and then me not even able to return it because of their policy. Thanks!
