I called and they said they’d be open the 12th

My vehicle breakin/burglary report from 2019 remains unaddressed too. It was parked right underneath a security camera at a domestic violence shelter. The shelter won't release the footage to just anyone and encouraged me to file a police report for that reason, but nothing ever came of it.

Traffic court in Springfield is a dream compared to most places. Nothing in the mail, the date should be on the citation. You will go in, they'll tell you which court room, the judge will call u up and ask if u plead guilty or non. If u plead guilty it's gonna be around $40 in court fees, $60 in fines, and a potential point off your license. You will also have the opportunity to push it out another month, and at that point you'll be able to speak with the prosecutor to try and avoid points off your license. I've lived in more cities than I can count, and this has to b the simplest traffic court I've ever dealt with. Good luck!

Guitar center is selling packages. I want to say it was like 3 lessons for 70 bucks…

Probably more #2 than #1

YEP and honking like a madman when I make a right turn into parking lot.

When someone tailgates me, I just slow down even more.

Everytime I get on I44 I remember that years ago I wanted to have a t-shirt made that says "I hate I44". Was almost in that 60+ pile up a few winters ago. Missed it by a few minutes. I don't drive that road if I can help it.

I would check with the Burrell pharmacies at Transitions or on Bradford pkwy. They tend to remain well-stocked on psych meds even when typical pharmacies (CVS, Walgreens, Walmart) have low/no stock.

Edit: Love the anti-Burrell circle-jerk in this sub. Downvote all you want but this has consistently held true, even when we had pandemic related manufacturing/distribution/supply chain issues.

Meanwhile the Turner Center suggestion is upvoted, despite the repeated issues I've known to come from that mismanaged pharmacy.

I say this as a bitter, burned out Burrell employee who laments our organization's leadership. But go ahead and downvote a genuine suggestion trying to help someone. Or maybe pull your biased head out of your ass. Nah, that'll never happen...

Edit 2: Never mind, the Turner Center suggestion is downvoted too now haha

Drive faster

Visit downtown Springfield, Gailey's for Breakfast then next door to the small local art gallery, MudHouse for a coffee. Head over to Glenstone to see Cosmic Fish and around the corner to Kaleidoscope, these are two of area's oldest smoke shops which are really well run and not scary or dirty.
Bass Pro is also pretty cool but it's huge, and there is also a Wonders of Wildlife museum attached to Bass Pro if you have about 3 hours to kill.
If you want to try Springfield's Cashew or Sweet and Sour chicken I would recommend Canton Inn, which is near Bass Pro. Most any of our Cashew Chicken places are pretty good, really. You will see one about every 100 feet. You can get a 1/2 and 1/2 order, which is half sweet and sour, and half cashew chicken if you want to try both.
If you want lunch in Ozark, MO (between Springfield and Branson) try B-52 Restaurant for American, Mundos for Latin food, or the Mill Restaurant (Restaurant made out of an old Mill kind & of pricey). Skip Lambert's, it's over-rated and crowded.
If going to Branson, a day pass for the Christmas Tree and lights at Silver Dollar City is pretty awesome, get some cinnamon bread or a funnel cake while you are there. Or, visit The Landing in Branson, which is nice little shopping strip.

I agree on the tailgating but there is also an infuriating amount of people in this town who also are just going 15-20 in a 35 because they are taking their sweet time. I can follow traffic laws but if you are going this slow and we are legally able to pass you, I'm gonna pass you and if you honk, go fuck yourself and drive the speed limit.

Respectfully, I do not need to do the walk in someone else's shoes thing when I am speaking from years of interactions and personal experience. Like you said, we have our own opinion, let's leave it at that.

the problem I've noticed is that people will tailgate you in the right lane and not pass, which is generally what OP is talking about. also, of course they'll pass eventually, the problem is the tailgating in the first place, so being like

>they can move to the passing lane. Simple.

is a bit irrelevant in this case

What was the cause? Bad/ loose breaker?

Have you ever thought that maybe it's a two lane road,?

I didn’t make the poster, just sharing it, but I’ll pass it along.

If you would like to apply for the job there are plenty of openings. I don’t agree with your opinion on “redefining the role of police” but it is yours. I think anyone who wants to judge from the outside should at least try to do a ride along. They are incredibly short officers so lower priority calls like theft will be on the back burner while they deal with violent crimes or domestic situations which are very common for Springfield.

It’s a different beast entirely in a metro area such as Chicago.

I live in a city now. I know what rush hour traffic is like.

Just saying Adderall is a hell of a drug and to withdraws from it can be dangerous. Take precautions before you run out .I'm not a medical professional just someone that once took it for an extended period of time

I take it you’ve never lived in a place congested enough to warrant all lanes being used.

Sometimes staying in the right lane during rush hour isn’t possible.
