That's actually a pretty good deal for the city. Typically the pro sports team gets to keep all the naming rights money.

1st Ozzfest in Lampe.

Ozzy, Biohazard and Sepultura. Danzig was supposed to be there but didn’t make it for some reason.

Plaid Retina in an empty house on South New St. I’ve spend almost 40 years in music and that is still the best show I’ve been to, nothing like it.

Great start on the wiki, lots of recourses

This guy gets it.

My favorite band to see live was Assuck. They played in Joplin. And there were so many angry cops there. They are or were a grindcore band from NY. They openly told the cops to fuck off. Then proceeded to light a joint and pass it through the crowd. Power in numbers sort of deal. I left. I don’t mind any of that, but uh I am an easy mark. So I left. But the music was beautiful. I don’t get too much in to 80s metal as you can tell. The style anyway.

LOL, so?

For you maybe. I've been doing so successfully for nearly 30 years

My first show in Springfield was a 90s one hit wonder Deep Blue Something at the Juke Joint in like 98/99. They played their one hit about half way through and everyone left. I was a fixture at the Juke Joint almost every weekend in 99-00 seeing so many bands I can’t even remember most of them. Their carding for alcohol policy to be very lax to nonexistent which was just fine for a 18-19 year old.

I got to see Nile and Cannibal Corpse. Amazing to see live because the bass players were just great. Everyone was. Adeem and Mac Lethal were great. Got to see Brother Ali in Lincoln one year. That was super great.

Dead Sexy brings back some fun memories. A fiend at the time introduced me to the lead singer and I used to run in their circle for a year or 2 until the band fell apart. Their first band name was Struct and they just did a bunch of NIN covers.

My favorite is the stay-at-home mom’s that are furious about it. Sorry that your SPS “daycare” ruined your mid-morning white wine and Xanax parties this week.

Dang, we were almost rid of it.

My first concert as far back as I can remember was in Joplin. I think the coffee joint was the Java Bean? Crave and I think The Rowskabouts. My younger brother and I were latch key kids. So we wondered around a lot at night. I would sit downtown and hang out with the hat lady at the library. My favorite band was Initial Detonation.

Mooncity Pub has a sign out front saying they’ll be getting it soon.

I love hanging out with my kids. I wish others felt the same about me. Lol

Only applicable to highways. City streets this is not applicable.

Exceeding the speed limit while passing is illegal.

This comment section is a microcosm of why Springfield traffic actually sucks.

People in Springfield drive like they learned how on a Walmart power chair.

Typical capitalism at its finest.

I disagree, going 90+ mph is very irresponsible and makes the road less safe

I don't think parks should be managed with ROI as a high priority. Skaters are generally younger with less disposable income, and currently that means they have a facility without air conditioning, unlike every other indoor parks facility, and inadequate lighting, and nowhere to sit except folding chairs. I feel like parks should be for the benefit of the citizens, not as an income source.

I am being completely serious
