Bibi is tiny in comparison, and can be hard to get a hold of as well.

They sure as hell aren't a malpractice prone pill mill like Eustasis though. I've gotten good care from them, haven't had trouble with appointments, but communicating with them is frustrating as hell sometimes.

Agreed, terrible metric, if anything living alone here is more based on a low cost of living. More people here likely don't NEED a roommate, partner, or spouse to share rent or a mortgage with to survive.

Also agreed on lonely here. Church is the social hub, but there is a big portion that don't go to church and don't do anything else.

Moved back here a few years ago but working remotely for a large company in STL.

I've got no plans to work for any company here, not a lot of choices and low pay from what I have heard. I'd maybe consider Expedia just because I know a few people from college work there.

Yeah that's the argument from DeGroot and the legislators who support it. Their hearts are in a good place, but the homeless problem in Springfield is built on addiction and debilitating mental illnesses-things that won't be solved in jails; things that don't have a great solution at all.

I'm not sure what the answer is. This will definitely limit our exposure to homelessness. Some folks will be in jail, others will retreat deeper into the forests they were living in anyway.

Me and my wife stopped by Hour House on new years for the pub crawl and got drinks there. Did they literally just lose it now? (They had someone checking IDs outside.)

BTW the Co-Owner can really sing. Did karaoke of The Greatest Showman.

My dad was one of the first members of Ozarks Fitness there on Battlefield and went for over 25 years like clockwork...he left when Genesis took over and the place became disgusting and very unhygienic... He brought it up several times but nothing was ever done so he left...A lot of the older members that he worked out with for years have also left. Avoid them if you can, they are still fighting my dad on his contract I think, not 100% though...
