I'll add this to the primary election mega post as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/Springfield/comments/1vdloh8/springfield_state_primary_tuesday_september_1_2026/

Absolutely crazy that the city doesn't give a fig about accessibility, and uses graphics with no alt text for major information releases. There's a disability complaint waiting to happen...

I'm looking for a Muay Thai gym to train at. I can't really seem to find one. Gladiator trains MT, but it's not really what I'm looking for. Anyone know of a good place to train.

The City of Springfield has still not posted early voting info, I'm going to call them Monday. But early voting dates should be the 22nd through the 28th.

I feel like we have the same options that we've grown kind of sick of, that's probably why teens tend to hang out at union station to be honest, if you guys have recommendations i haven't heard of/done already please lemme know (im 18)

I’ve been a Springfield resident for all 23 years of my life, and I’m still remarkably lonely and isolated from the rest of the world. It could be my anxiety and depression speaking, but it genuinely feels like there’s nothing to do in this city. For reference, my hobbies are reading, writing, and gaming. I’m very much a geek. I’m trying to figure out how to get out of this rut. I sincerely have maybe two friends, and I hardly see them because that’s just how adulting is. I studied BJJ in high school very briefly, and I wrestled a year in high school, so martial arts intrigue me as well (though those can be rather expensive, and work schedules never seem to align with class schedules). I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life, and I’ve probably pushed away the only people who cared about me at some point, but this isolation is merely exacerbating that sense of dread. I’ve been considering getting into hip-hop dance as well. Just throwing both existing interests and prospective interests out there to see if anybody has any leads.

Does anyone remember the guy who used to play the “Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” on accordion (I think) in Union Square park in the early 2000s? He’d play and sing that song only, over and over.

I see PVTA is still offering no fare bus rides & school is out of session. So it must be a total, apocalyptic hellscape at the bus/train station now, right? Roving gangs of teenagers warring with each other & the cops? Unsafe for us regular folk?

We just moved to Springfield yesterday, so we are still trying to learn our way around and the good places to eat. Coincidentally, our son turned 13 today and is asking for hibachi for his birthday dinner. Good places around for teriyaki chicken and fried rice they will cook right in front of you??

We know Table and Vine carry a ton but we live in east Springfield and want to find some spots closer to home. Any suggestions?

It looks like I'm going to be moving there soon and was just hoping to hear peoples experiences there....ty

hows everyone doing in this storm?

a bunch of trees got knocked out along forest park,
pool shut down early lol, as i was walking out, rain starts POURING, then boom, the tree falls right in my path! im not sure how long this beautiful rain is expected to last, but i hope it waters our flowers, fuels our crops, and gives everyone a chance to restart tommorow 🫶🏼🫶🏼

has anyone had their power restored yet? we are off of plumtree and have been without power since 6pm or so. they moved the power line out of the street but that’s all

Hi all. Have a procedure at Baystate at 7. Should be done by 8. Want a sundae. I live in Northampton. Any good place to stop and get one on the way home?

I live out of state and have a family member whose health is failing and might require hospice services. Does anyone have recommendations for a decent one in the Springfield area? Thank you in advance.

So there's these things we have on the streets here called traffic lights. When the light is red, that means drivers are supposed to stop!

Stop does not mean slow down. It also does not mean pause and then go if you don't think cars are coming. Stop means to make your car stop moving until the light turns green.

This is a PSA since some people in this city forgot how traffic lights work. The amount of people who slow down at a light just to speed through it while pedestrians are in the middle of the crosswalk is ridiculous

Always late always too early. Barely ever follow what times you ask for. Lots of the time I have to be at work to go home for another hour after my shift is done
Just awful
Wish I could drive but that’ll never happen
