Huh, that's weird. I would expect someone to notice if I were openly breaking the law.

And this is a fairly tame one.

Their mistake does not justify them blocking crosswalks and doing illegal turns. If you've made a mistake don't break right-of-way and the flow of traffic and expect everyone around you to adjust. If he made a mistake by going straight when he intended to turn right he should have gone straight and found someplace safe to turn around.

Could you imagine how many of these kinds of posts we would have if everybody thought their run-in with a bad driver in this city was worth posting about? The sub would be flooded.
I really don't know what OP is expecting in posting this. A round of applause for seeing one of our many poor drivers? Well then, congratulations, I guess.

People in Springfield in general need to pay more attention while driving. Maybe we should put a focus on that. My son and I have almost been crashed into multiple times taking my gf 2 blocks away to work. I don't blame OP at all. People in Springfield can't drive for shit.

I’ve had luck at:
Timeless Treasures Flea Market on W Kearney
Thrift Haven at Glenstone & Meadowmere. They’ve got a giant back room with furniture that’s reasonably priced.
Blind Community Thrift Store on N Kansas Expwy
CA Thrift in Nixa.

Ok? Mind your own business. You have no idea what that person is dealing with that may have led to this. What benefit does taking a picture and posting it on the internet do? Do you want people taking a picture of you every time you make a mistake?

If a random person was taking pictures of me in public, I too would give them a dirty look.

I like taking pictures of selfish idiots in the wild. It amuses me.

Mike's Unique and Habitat have both had great, authentic stuff.

Dirla’s is closing and having a big sale right now if they’re still open.

This is what happens when you help make a lot of people money with your political office.

The owners of Golden Dragon are absolute chads for not accepting a buy-out from Ol' Fish Dick. I heard he severely lowballed them on the value of their property and they told him to kick rocks.

It’s never been hard to miss. I suggest you look it up. They’ve been known to turn away trans people

Mike's Unique, while a good place to look for furniture, isn't a thrift store by any means. Their furniture is almost as expensive as new, but it is good quality.
Edit: for the downvoters, flea market=/=thrift store.

Mikes unique antiques on West Bypass and Sunshine or Dirla Furniture and More on East Trafficway both have rooms of furniture in addition to flea market booths.

Habitat for humanity on scenic South of grand is good, worth checking out once a month.

It's not thrifting, necessarily, but Hakkars Bazaar is where you want to go for all things MCM. There are a couple stores on CStreet that have good stuff, too. Hakkars reigns supreme.

Aside from the bigotry, they're also just effing useless. Connecting Grounds does 100x what they do with about 10% of their budget.

Reply to comment by Salt-Description-387 in Is Golden Dragon in Ozark still drive-thru only? by Eleighlo
Diamond Head in Republic is the same way. I can’t blame them; customer numbers are still good, they no longer have food waste, lower staff expenses, etc. I wouldn’t be surprised to see more restaurants opening as drive-through only in the future.

I'm tired of giving people who make stupid decisions a pass for their stupidity. This person could have just gone straight and met back at Glenstone and Primrose. People just can't stop and use an iota of common sense anymore.
