There's one area that has natural light. It's where the crusher once was.. it's just a giant open hole now.

I've seen it. A warehouse full of cardboard cylinders filled wit cheese. Some have "Jarome" written on them. I would tell my brother to get "Jarome Cheese".... good times

Reply to comment by Wolverkeen in Are there any shops in Springfield that will dye wood for me, like a local woodworker I can bring something to? by MercyMain42069
I feel if I do it myself in my apartment I’ll make a huge mess or the result would look awful. Plus I’d like to support any local businesses for a reasonable price (like 20$?)

Ozark saw and Lumber. You can just Google OSL and it'll come up.

The Springfield underground is a massive cheese storage facility.

Really? I toured it a few years back for a work thing and it was pretty cool. I had to wear a light jacket and it was the middle of July.

Is that the place with... the cheese?

No, we got to see the organic eggs. There were only a couple million of them. The facility could hold tens of millions, IRRC.
You haven't lived until you've seen the equipment to stack pallets of eggs on racks 30ft high.
I don't think they let the public into the cheese repository. You have to go downwind of the Kraft plant to verify the actual existence of said cheese.

So for the record, the cheese is still there? Did you get to see it?

True...I guess the whole place smells like exhaust, so I should say: The cheese room smells like truck exhaust AND a little bit like cheese.

Not really. Smells like truck exhaust.

I worked there in a place called KBC, one of the many underground buildings down there. Literally just means “Kraft Bulk Cheese”, but it’s not actually owned by Kraft. I worked there for 6 months and it was a stupid job. The place was kinda cool to drive around in for a minute. It’s huge. But it’s full of semis and exhaust.

Springfield Public Schools. I post this just about every week but it is all the same. Pretty good benefits and retirement plans, and just take a pick on what you want. Custodial offers full time and part time, chances for overtime if you would like. Pay starts at $15. The hiring process takes some time just FYI Apply here: https://spsmo.tedk12.com/hire/index.aspx

They be using city water. Hold Fast does it too. I'd bet that was it. It makes the pH hard to control and makes things quite variable.

You can dye wood yourself with RIT clothing dye- I think they even have instructions on their website.

there’s warehouses, and cheese. but something a lot of people don’t know, there’s a ton of servers for some local businesses in there. with the underground being a lower temperature, and being enclosed in rock, it’s easier to control the climate and humidity to ensure those servers last a long time

I chaperoned one of my kids' field trips there last year.
It's impressively large, and if you're into industrial goings-on, it's pretty interesting.
Short feature list: Extremely seismically and temperature stable, miles and miles of roads, railroad access, server farms out the ass, a strategic national cheese stockpile, and millions of eggs, plus a lot of unmarked buildings holding everything from paper records to the Ark of the Covenant, for all that anybody knows.
Oh, and they have to rent one part, the land under 65 is owned by the government, and the facility is on both sides of the highway.
TL;DR: Underground warehouses, if you're into that.
