It's not just a park they are day lighting the water way that started this town and returning it to its natural bio diversity. This will add so much more value to the city then a cheep scare open one time a year. They have give the owner plenty of opportunity to sell or move operations. Now because they are having the value assessed it will likely be much less then what the owner would want. It sucks and I understand the sentimental value that the owner is putting on it. He's had it for a long time and put a lot of work in to it, but it's not safe plenty of people have been hurt because of missing safety precautions. I would love to see it open somewhere else but the childish way the owner is handling it is a bit sad.

Yeah it is showing it's age, but I just don't like the way this whole situation is being handled by the city. I really really do not understand what good another park is gonna do. I do hope that they can set up the haunted house somewhere else in town at least. Seeing that Halloween stuff always brightens my day, a hell of a lot more than anything else downtown at least. And I feel like that speaks volumes.

Did chatGPT write this? That's funny. It's way off base here though in it's support for Mexican Villa. I am strongly on the pro-Mexican Villa side of the argument, and so are most of the people I know, but NOBODY would say

>The food is delicious and always fresh

I mean, that's just false.

>I truly believe that Mexican Villa is a Springfield classic that everyone should try at least once. Give it a chance and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised!

That's false too. If you don't like it already, you won't like it. There is no point in recommending Mexican Villa to anybody, ever.

It’s definitely there. The pizza looked about the same as I remember it, but I didn’t try it. You can buy it by the slice or a whole pie. They also fresh Indian food that smelled good, but was not nearly the variety of the gas station Indian spot in Joplin (that is really good).

Fantastic Caverns is a nice detour. If you have time, go down to Branson to Top of the Rock museum/ dinner. Kinda pricy. But memorable. Where ya coming from and going to?

Wonders of Wildlife may not be budget friendly for you but is pretty good. Just get tickets to the aquarium side. The rest of it is pretty cringe stuffed dead animals for the owner to show off his BDE hunting prowess.
