Put some respect on Sam’s Club’s name

Brother, it's gonna be an uphill battle in Springfield. I am white but my best buds were Desi back in my college days (90s). They both got arranged at the end of the day. I like Springfield well enough as it was where I was mostly raised but I travel for work now and there's just objectively better options for you.

For instance, I'm in New Jersey currently with some Southies right at the end of my street running a restaurant so I'm straight killing masala dosa, veda, sambar, chole bhature, etc on the regular. Since the Google Panopticon is still mostly dumb, I got a YouTube pre-roll ad for shaadi.com shortly after my order there lol. I'm white and 43 but it's all good.

Those MSU/DU Desi honeys are locked tight: studies, family expectations, etc. They just didn't date in my experience but it's been some time ago. Things change. The Indian diaspora and Springfield cultures are individually very insular and, as such, it's tough to get them to mix but it's not impossible. Bloom where you're planted. At a minimum, you now have 3 places for a date night if you want to convert a local! That was definitely not the case 25 years ago.

1984 Arcade is downtown, last I went was $5 a person for as long as you want to play, (pinball is pay per game) http://www.1984arcade.com

If you are thinking of something outside then Valley water mill is a nice hike, and usually not very busy

Mentioned by another is the Aquarium. A must visit if you have not been before. There is another museum inside bass pro as well that is worth a tour.

It's a dump

$150 for three months? WOW!! I do “dump runs” up to Springfield landfill for $20.. (I recycle as much as possible)

I mean don't blame the city. It was voted on and the voters are what made this a thing.

Hey you go man!! Y'all do great work

Replace his tummy

a day at the aquarium

jordan valley health center is the best. not just for mental health, but you can get your dental and general physicians needs met there too. everyone is super nice and at least my psychaitrsit is great. she actually listens to me and seems to genuinely want to help. i also only see her which is a huge plus compared to seeing a different doctor every time at eustasis.

Alli’s is a shithole with delicious, cheap breakfast. I’ll fight someone.

What did you dislike about Jack Henry? I would love to hear more as everything I've heard about the company has been positive.

And third. We pay $75 but that includes a recycling barrel picked up biweekly. Nick, the operator/owner is at least decent people. One of his trucks clipped my car a few years ago and he took care of the repairs out of pocket (it was a beater so I didn't need it fully restored).

But it’ll hurt my bfs tummy :(

Is Smokey Folk still playing in Springfield? I’d so, they are good

Reddit for 4-5 hours, lunch, reddit for 3-4 more hours.

Identity Crisis is an amazing local band, TROY, Paralandra, Red Light Runner, Transylvania, we have so much great talent in the 417

Check out Crystal Bridges if you’re up to the drive to Bentonville!

Same, my ADHD medication is prescribed by a family doctor through Jordan valley. I see her NP once every 3 months. No problemo.

I've heard colmdston is pretty epic

It's their anniversary, have some class. Splurge for Chick-fil-A!!

BigShots is fun! You don’t have to be good at golfing to have a good time. Its reasonable to go during the week but pricey on the weekend. I would say an hour is plenty of time and then go out to eat somewhere

It's like a trucker haven, as far as I know.

Actually most aren’t dying under a bridge. This whole effort was actually meant to target KC and STL. There were plans to increase long term housing this was the response. Also I can tell you that communities outside KC bus their homeless here from as far away as ST Joseph. Most outlining communities have zero program and their only response is to “own the libs” by sending their problems here. How very Christian of them.
