I've heard about it. I even bought a water bottle from the thrift store with a tiger on it that's from there. Maybe I'll see what's up. Thanks!

I didn’t make the post. No one from Springfield made the post. Nobody is coming online beaming with pride over the low cost of living bragging to others about how great it is and thumbing our noses at other cities.
The narrative you’ve constructed is fiction.
A guest in the city is saying they think it’s a great place, partly because it’s relatively affordable to live here. What good reason could we possibly have to be assholes to them about it?

So why would we be proud about being cheap and talking about how great it is online? It's like living on the north side and bragging about how much platinum is in your catalytic converter.

So probably no cancelation for people who work at Plaster Student Union?

My boyfriend works at MSU overnights. He has to go in but was told there will be a late start.

If people from high cost of living areas move here because it's cheap, it won't be cheap anymore. Us locals don't have the advantages of starting off from somewhere with higher wages and can be priced out if it becomes a trend.

We passed through last fall. We liked everything we tried, Springfield Brewing Company and Black Sheep. And Mother's Brewing - great outdoor area to enjoy nice weather. The wildlife aquarium was pretty good. Next time we'll do the cashew chicken and sub shop.

Reply to anybody else pissed that Missouri State University is not calling off school in this weather, but they called last Wednesday? My block is a sheet of ice and they're like "this is fine". by internationalkoala00
I don’t get it when adults get upset when a university DOESN’T cancel classes. Aren’t you paying for those classes?
If you don’t feel safe going, then don’t go.

I'll get down voted for this but Mexican Villa is neat, its not Mexican food though. It's Tex Mex moved here in the 50's and made mild for the Midwestern pallet of the time. then it hasn't changed in 70 years. I'd try it for what it is if you don't go expecting Mexican food.

I'm a transplant here from Southern California and just purchased my first home here in Springfield! I never would have been able to do this for my family in California, probably ever.
I love it here.

- Too many.
- Too many Cletuses have them & for some reason want to tell everybody body about it. (I have several guns. I don't have a need to whip them out)
- Religion poisons everything Aside from that, we have gorgeous rivers between 30 mins to 2 hrs away. We have beautiful hiking in other towns outside of Springfield. Also lakes in other places kind of close. And Bass Pro.

My job dosent close so I went in. Unfortunately if I don’t show up the other can legally leave. I’m not happy but I get to crank the heat in a house I don’t have to pay bills in and hang out. At least it’s not retail or some shit

Lol - yup. That’s the one. I guess she’s gettin’ kinda famous. Hopefully the city boys will be by to help her off the street.

Downtown location now accepts cards! I believe the Seminole location is still cash only with an ATM inside.

No, they haven't been cash-only in a long time. They also recently remodeled the downtown spot so the seating is a little better.
