“The house was already burned down” ….. 6 months ago

New China on Kansas Expressway, or Shanghai Inn on Glenstone

I really China King’s lo mein

I worked at Mama Jean's for years.They are nepotism at their worst. Fuck Mama Jean's.

We went to New China on the Northside. The cashew chicken was really good. Much better than the first time I tried it. I went on reddit recommendation. Thanks. Good job!

I just tried new house chinese, on West Chestnut, last month. I got a shrimp lo mein and they gave me like 14 shrimp in it which I felt was very generous and I ate it for days

That's because the Hawkeyes are the best team to root for in college. Obviously😆😆

Iowa City all the way! Now that's probably my home state bias but every time I've been there to visit. It's been a blast! Iowa City has a legitimate college town feel to it with a great downtown area and a lot of good restaurant and entertainment choices. Iowa City seems cleaner and less methy to me than Springfield. From the outside, people genuinely seem to like living there and it just has a vibrance to it that I don't see in Springfield

Exactly. It’s not your responsibility to manage someone else’s emotions and actions behind the wheel. Keep driving the way you were. Anything else in trying to manage the situation. See my reply where what I said is the exact guidance offered by Progressive Insurance.

There's multiple factors that could go into what makes an apartment good for you. But I really liked The Abby when I lived there. They had decent layouts, a quiet community, and a good location. I'd move back there if I had to find an apartment.

That is not true. They won't come to springfield because of demographic issues. We don't have high enough income or education for them to want to build here

Ding ding ding we have a winner. Same reason we won't get a whole foods

Progressive insurance disagrees with you.

“Stay steady. Speeding up and slowing down can increase your chance of getting hit. Keep your speed consistent so the person behind you knows what to expect. It'll allow them to pass when there's an opening.”

Didn't think Trader Joe's was all that. Then a coworker brought me a bottle of Dill Pickle seasoning that her son sent her. I'm officially hooked and I wanna see what other delicious creations I've been deprived of.

No, it really won't. If I, the lead car, am driving slower, I have a greater reaction time for what's ahead of me. If they're already upset that I'm not doing 10+ over, then start riding my ass to the point that I decide to slow down, I don't care how much more upset they get. And if they rear-end me due to their own impatience, that's on them. No matter their reason, if they're traveling too close for my comfort, I'll start maliciously complying with the speed limit.

While living in another state for a few years, I was maintaining adequate distance on the interstate, until someone jumped in the gap and slammed on his brakes, causing me to hit him. I would've been able to stop, had the gap been there, but this 🤡 had other ideas. And I still was fined for "following too close", despite how it happened. So yeah, I'm cautious. And as it's already been mentioned, I also don't do this in the passing lane when there is one. You want to pass me? Pass me.

They're not in Columbia either... Talk about a place that's really perfect with all the liberals.

I salute the dedication to your name. This is nonsense.

We're much more of an aldi market. Its probably the closest thing this poor town will get to their sister company, Trader Joe's.

They aren't concerned with filling in gaps. They are looking for markets with specific attributes, and we are much too poor and uneducated.

We don't have a Trader Joe's because Springfield doesn't have enough people with advanced degrees or expensive houses.

This article is about a different city, but it explains what they look for in a new market. https://www.mcall.com/business/mc-biz-why-trader-joes-hasnt-opened-lehigh-valley-store-20190828-7icd2wpj25ezblyaci6ocoxsy4-story.html

That's not my experience. Nine out of ten times they back off or pass, as appropriate. I don't jam my brakes on, I'm not brake checking them, I just ease off on the accelerator.

If they're in my lane because they need to turn, then they turn and the problem resolves itself.

My slowing down to a still-within-reason speed of 35 in a 40 is not the issue causing accidents. People following too closely and driving 55 in a 40, or 40 in school zone is the safety issue here. It's not my responsibility to manage someone else's emotions and actions behind the wheel.
