Everything has gone downhill since COVID.

If you want to try what is unique to Springfield go to Mexican Villa South and get the Sancho Enchilada Style, and then Hong Kong Inn or Cashew Chef and get Cashew Chicken, all white meat. Leong's invented the dish, so it's good there as well, but a bit pricier.

I am not going to guarantee that you will like either of these dishes, and there are many other better options foodwise in town. But, those two are Springfield originals.

Yeah its kinda odd, especially after last week. My professor sent out an email that he would not being holding class. Stay safe and don't go in.

yea, I went pre-covid too. So maybe I'm not used to how they are running things now.

Thanks!! What other local restaurants would you recommend?

Well you are usually given supplemental materials online to help prepare you for the next class. Most professors will also provide pre-recorded lectures they used during COVID.

I'm visiting Springfield next month! I'm all about some food suggestions!

Any are much appreciated.

Thanks! Yeah with 2 recommendations, I'll definitely check them out once the weather gets a bit clearer. I hope you're staying warm, btw!

Well it has plenty of downsides but the local food/coffee are a positive for sure.

If you like chais, make sure to try out Dancing Mule on Glenstone and Travelers on Republic road

Happy to provide tons of food recommendations as well if you'd like

You'll be pleasantly surprised with the great sandwich and even more so with the owners kindness. I went to school with the guys who own them now(dad started the one down town) and they are great people!!

In SLC, a bus ride costs $2.50. Here, it's $1.25. (add just 10 cents for a transfer) In SLC, a single room will cost you at least $1000 rent per month. The place I'm staying costs $750 and I have my own bathroom. Utilities, Netflix, Hulu, and Disney+, and a housekeeper are included. It's also in a convenient location where I can walk almost everywhere. Groceries here are a lot cheaper than in SLC.

It's a great value :)

When I went I was upset it was ever called off at all. like, I'm paying an exceptional amount of money to attend, and your professors can't handle a little snow? Do I get a refund for the lectures I wasn't allowed to attend?

I have only been here a few days, but I'm staying a couple of months.

Edit: I'm originally from Salt Lake City. I've been traveling around since November

Judging by the radar it's only going to get a little worse. It'll be a bit slicker this evening, but this isn't a major winter storm.

If this is what it takes for people to call in, I'd suggest a remote position or moving someplace where driving conditions are ideal year-round.

They are also very strict about charging overpeiced prices on light bulbs on move out. Make sure you replace any dead lights and take pictures because they still tried to charge me for lights when I left new bulbs in the loft.

Overall I really liked renting from them. They were more affordable than the other options at the time. Units were well maintained however our last few months there were horrible because they could not get out next door neighbors to stop blaring music. Even with multiple complaints and police contacts. Depending on the location you want to rent it can be pretty quiet or a party row. I lived in the lofts upstairs at union biscuit and had no problems but the ground floor was where a lot of parties would happen and the leasing office never enforced loud music at 2am being shut off. Even though they couldn’t get our neighbors under control they wouldn’t let us out of the lease early. Other thing to note is they prelease far in advance so if I had to reup my lease for the following year pretty quickly after moving in. Other than that, very cute well maintained apartments. Id just suggest talking to the office about what area of the apartments are quieter or more of a party depending on what you’re looking for.

And you can only camp for 14 consecutive days.

I confirm with my foreman through text, on his work phone, that I'm required to be on site. Anything happens, it falls back on them.

Dugout smokes, then fries, then sauces them. They're my #1.

Dugout fries theirs after they smoke them. Best of both worlds, imo.

How do you know what the cost of living is like if you're only visiting for a few days. Seems like an odd thing to lead with.

Thanks for the tip!

They used to be my favorite cheap and fast place to go. IMO, they've gone downhill in the last 5 years or so
