Reply to comment by jgj570s in Springfield is the poorest city in Missouri by WaywardDeadite

Not a Christian, but I will say this…the small churches around here try harder and do more for hunger than any of the several mega churches we have around here. If James River and a few other churches just donated 10% (tithe) of profits, it would house all homeless and feed all the hungry. But those churches are more concerned about politics and drag show story times, than the poor and hungry.

Reply to Best generals chicken here? by Dry-Cost-3860

Peking House has a thick sweet sauce general chicken. It’s unlike any I have ever had. I haven’t been there in awhile but that’s what I always got. They became a little pricey too.

Reply to Looking to possibly move to Springfield/Ozark/Nixa. Looking for good neighborhoods for kids in elementary school? 300-400k budget. by Thin_Alternative_519

Generally most of the neighborhoods will fit the criteria in the Ozark and Nixa area. I'm assuming you live far from this area? I'd recommend you get set up with a realtor cause they are gonna be able to help you way more than any random person on reddit.

Also check out Rogersville Willard and Republic if you need to open up your such area a bit and enjoy living out of town a little more.

Reply to Best generals chicken here? by Dry-Cost-3860

I'm a big General chicken fan and have particular tastes about it

The best one I used to get in town was from Mimi's Hong Kong Inn on Battlefield near the Hy-vee. It was dirt cheap and so good. Unfortunately the business changed hands and the place is now Golden Cuisine. I say unfortunately but that's not quite accurate. Golden Cuisine is still pretty darn good and I get it from time to time, but it's not quite like it used to be. It's still probably my favorite place for General, but instead of being an 11 out of 10 it's an 8 out of 10. Still worth a try

In Nixa is a place called Cashew Inn, Cashew Out. They are right off of Campbell near Big Whiskeys. Their General Chicken is really distinct and I love to get it once every like 4 months. It's not the best stuff in the world, but like I said it is very distinct and if you haven't found General chicken anywhere else I'd recommend giving it a shot there just to see what you think. Although fair warning it might be utter trash for you because again, very different. Oh and don't get the wontons there. They are basically egg rolls in wonton wrappers which are fine, but not really want I want when I crave fried wontons

The place on Battlefield in the gas station in front of Buffalo Wild Wings is also a very solid General chicken. I don't think it's mindblowing or anything but it's solid to get if you're in the area

Finally not necessarily General chicken related I will always recommend China King on Republic Road. The people there are super awesome and I love supporting them. The only problem is I think their 'Springfield Chinese' dishes are very mediocre. I would never order General Chicken there because it's just not great. Where they shine are the more 'authentic' Asian cuisine dishes. Think Mei fun, stir fry, stuff like that. I am starting to salivate right now just thinking about their Hunan chicken (well, I get chicken and broccoli with Hunan sauce added. It's my all-time favorite stir fry dish). Give them a shot some day

Oh and I used to really like CreAsian. My girlfriend and I would go there like once a week for lunch when we first started dating. But when the pandemic hit in 2020 they changed some stuff and the last 2-3 times I went I was not very pleased with what I got. I should and will give them another shot but I'm talking it went from 9/10 to 4/10

As a sitting Senator that had already decided to retire it was a way for the establishment Republicans in the Senate gain favor. They knew it was likely to pass anyway, and his vote was so that they can now have favor from the Democrats in another vote

If later on Blunt was trying to get reelected for the position then during the primaries his opponents could use it to try and sway the batshit crazy lunatics who actually vote in primaries to vote for them instead

Long story short he didn't vote for it because he's suddenly had a change of heart, it was merely him playing the game for his asshole Republican buddies

Unfortunately he didn't get hit by a passing plane when dedicating the thing, so he's likely going to go become an even wealthier 'consultant' or lobbyist
