I worked for the census a couple years back and had to verify there was no one living on the properties. There is just so much vacant space while people are sleeping outside.

Thank you.

I’d like to see more businesses come to c street, as well as just more grocery stores that aren’t big box stores. My neighborhood is kind of a food desert with the closest store being the price cutter on commercial which sucks

Ah, for sure this! Community gardens are the coolest part of living on the north side, there are a lot of them, but not nearly enough, my neighborhood used to have one (supposedly) I would love to see it make a comeback. I think every neighborhood group in Springfield should have at least one ran by the community.

We absolutely need to utilize this, that place is absolutely perfect

That sounds interesting, I don’t suppose you have a link?

Steve's brisket isn't as good as it used to be. I remember when they had a chopped brisket sandwich. It was money. Now it's apparently served in strips like most places. With the more recent options available, he has heavy competition. It's kinda like when Mexican Villa was the only Mexican food in Springfield. Now we have all of these amazing options of Mexican cuisine. Frankly, I'm surprised that Mexican Villa still exists.

And legit.

Leongs duck is good but expensive and chopped weird and too much bones. Does taste good though.

If you are willing to drive….

st Charles Christmas traditions is awesome. Victorian themed with performances, people in costume wandering, caroling, etc

Thank you!!!!

Closest I’ve come by would be Taco El Champu, Los Michoacanas Gracias or Taqueria Canchanilla. I’ve tried Perches twice and both times was very disappointed.

Small world!

I'm curious what in Springfield you would possibly consider authentic Mexican food.

Thanks for the reply. I will say, if I knew he would be serving me every time I would stop in a lot more. When it's somebody else there, it's not nearly as good.

Is it common for people to eat "a bag of dicks" where you are from?

This guy thinks gettin basted passes as good bbq.

I believe he’s only at one location per day, and that’s the location that’s open. I believe he’s at the food truck Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. He’s pretty active on Facebook though, so I would just shoot him a message if you’re not sure.

Thank you 💜

City butcher is trash.

Are they operating the building and the food truck at the same time? Which one is Steve usually at?

I like their smoked turkey. I'll head their way next week and give them some support.

That's far more common of a practice than you would guess

Ok, that sounds worth trying!!

I’m serious. What is it about “I don’t like this thing” that equals “bad?” Barbeque, like many things, is completely subjective. It’s beyond obnoxious and entitled to get insulting because something isn’t to your personal taste.
