It's a rough life for a wyfer out here in the 4-1-7. Rollin' up to the Price Choppers, lookin' to score some Mother's Brew. Grabbing coffee at the Mudhouse with mah hot yoga homies and mah JRA crew. Ridin' round Battlefield looking for the CBD without the SPD, always hasslin' me.

Welcome to Springfield! I think Springfield is a pretty Veteran friendly area. You might check with the Missouri Veteran's Commission, Springfield office at 2040 W Woodland St., Springfield, MO, 65807, Phone: 417-895-6535 and see what resources are available. They might be able to refer you to some agency for housing and employment assistance.

I feel like the last thing we need is 5-7 more years of constant road construction. Not to mention the people and businesses that would need to be displaced in order to build a freeway.

I just thought of this one. The George Revelle murder in Fremont Hills. Old George was actually exonerated but ya know. He was the mayor of Fremont Hills and president or some big muckity muck at a bank (can't remember exactly). I don't even know if the house is still there but it was a pretty notorious murder for Springfield.

You might also check out the Gilloiz theater. I don't know of any homicides but one of the projectionists died during a midnight movie showing and his spirit is said to haunt the theater.

And the theater has been restored and is just really lovely even without the death but the death and ghost story is kind of cool.

When we were last in Iowa we noticed every car had hail damage. The people were nice but the winters are brutal. Summer is unbearably hot and my allergies flare up every time we visit. Iowa is flat. No hills, no curves, endless squares of farmland interrupted by small cities that all look the same.
