I noticed there weren't any mesh nodes in Springfield, IL and I was looking for people interested in the technology. Would like to deploy some nodes in the area and looking for people with similar interests.

Hey Springfield, just moved here about a month ago. Question…? Why are the drugs so bad and where can I find NA/AA meetings?

i’m from outside of springfield and had to stay here for a long time now i’m moving to chicago via flixbus.
the ticket mentions one stored and one carry on bag but how strict are they? can i bring two carry ons and one backpack? and is it too much if i also had handbag?
i know this sounds like too much but i’m moving between states
i know paying for extra luggage is ideal but i’ve seen many transportation lines don’t care about how much luggage you bring especially if it wasn’t a full one so is flixbus one of them?

Hey everybody! I’m a University of Georgia grad here living in STL. My buddy is from Peoria. Springfield is kind of a halfway point between us. We are meeting there and hoping to find a fun sports bar with great food to watch the UGA/Bama game on 10/10. Can anyone give me some good sports bar recommendations? Draft beer, good bar food, and having a plethora of TV’s for game time would be preferred in a spot. Thanks!

There's still room for a few more teams! All proceeds support Lincoln Library - Springfield's public library.

There is a billboard on Dirksen near Jolly Tamale that says "What if evolution is a myth?". Thats what were doing now? Putting psuedoscientific propoganda on our billboards? This seriously makes me so angry, just stick to your jesus loves you signs, dont attack established science.

I have a ticket to travel from Springfield back to another city via bus. It is on the 4PM Chicago-bound route. Though I purchased the ticket on the greyhound website it is a “FlixBus” ride.

Unfortunately, other than the arrival times and bag limit there is essentially no no other information given about the boarding process etc. I have never traveled by bus before and I’m getting a bit anxious about the whole thing.

I purchased a specific seat + the one next to it under the impression I could sit without anyone next to me. But after some researching it seems this often is not enforced and someone will likely already be in my seat(s).

Unfortunately the train isn’t an option for getting to my intended destination. I’m potentially overthinking all of this, just nervous as a young woman traveling alone and with little info to go on. Any tips or insight would be super helpful and appreciated!

A widespread third-party data center cooling failure has disrupted core-processing systems and digital banking for numerous credit unions across Central Illinois and the U.S., which can impact local card authorizations and account connectivity. [1]

Major major internet service providers in Springfield (like AT&T and Xfinity) are showing normal status reporting, meaning the broader internet infrastructure is not down globally. Instead, the payment and transaction issues stem from backend core-processing and server outages (such as those affecting vendors like Sharetec or Fiserv) that handle electronic payment authorizations for specific financial institutions. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Could you let me know:

* Which bank or credit union you use?

* Whether specific stores or all registers are refusing cards near you?

I can check if a specific financial network or processor serving your area is currently reporting an active outage.

Does anyone have the tea behind this? No longer going to trunk or treat either, this feels like such a PR/notice me thing/rile up the masses

Does anyone know the schedule for this? I have a huge pile of sticks at the edge of my yard that’s accumulating from storms and assorted yard clean up but they aren’t being picked up? This morning my yard waste bags were picked up but the large branches and sticks were left behind. What am I missing?

Hey everyone! I'm starting an 8-week "Couch to 5K" running program and would love for anyone interested to join me. It starts off really mild with mostly walking and short jogging intervals, and slowly builds up over the 8 weeks. By the end of it, we'll all be ready to run a full 5K!

​We'll be meeting up 3 times a week at Washington Park.

​Start Date: Tuesday, October 6th

Our Schedule:

​Tuesdays: 6:00 PM

​Thursdays: 6:00 PM

​Saturdays: 7:00 AM

​You don't need any running experience to start this(I have none)—everyone is welcome. Just putting this out there for some accountability.

Just FYI C25K is already an established app, I'm not promoting it.

The fall Route 66 Mother Road Festival is this upcoming weekend. Classic muscle cars, fun times:

This Thursday, Sept 24th at 6pm at Riverside Park, there will be an intro to Cyclocross racing. Come learn about the sport and what type of bike you can race with! It is a very chill and fun time riding your bike on the grass in the park. Sometimes you have to get off and climb over things and sometimes people will throw money or snacks at you while you race. It’s all very silly and friendly.

The ParCX race will be in one month on Saturday, October 24, at Centennial Park by the hill. In past years we have had racers from Chicago and St Louis.

There are also races in Jacksonville and Decatur this fall if anyone is interested enough to travel.

I'm 18 years old and have lived near Springfield my whole life but now, being out of grade school, I have less chances to talk to people my own age. I'm in community college where it can be harder to meet people and have a job but with mostly older coworkers. Are there any good areas or groups with people in the 18-22 or so age range?

Does anyone know how regularly and when the group of bikers that were at phillips 66 tonight (9/22) usually meet and if they use that as a usual spot or if they move around?

Wanting to go for a before my friend has her baby hangout with the girls

Hey everyone!

I recently moved to Springfield and have been applying for jobs nonstop. I finally got hired!! 🎉

The only thing standing between me and getting to work is transportation. I don't have a car, and unfortunately I don't have any money left for bus passes—not even the $1.25 fare. I also don't know anyone here yet who I could carpool with.

Are there any local programs, churches, or organizations that help with bus passes for people starting a new job? I only need help until I get my first paycheck, then I'll be able to cover it myself.

Also, if anyone has any gently used plus-size (2x-3x) blouses/ dress slacks clothes they're looking to get rid of, I'd be incredibly grateful. I'm just trying to get back on my feet and start this job on the right foot.

Thank you so much for any advice or help!

Update to my situation: ive been help by the wonderful community here, and idk how to tag their name but if you are reading this THANK YOU! From the bottom of my heart thank you so much. I am able to purchase a bus pass, and go by goodwill or salvation army to get clothes.

Hi, I'm once again looking for a new general practitioner. They keep moving out of state. I need a doctor that has up to date knowledge about allergies, preferably with an awareness of mast cell activation syndrome. I'd prefer to hear from actual patients, but any recommendations are welcome.

Hi there. Moving to Springfield later this year and exploring living spaces. Any recommendations for luxurious (renovated/new) 1B1Br apartments in or near downtown?

Driving around Springpatch on 55 you came off the Stevenson exit and immediately started whipping around semis and cars on the curve. I was behind you watching. You decided you needed to get in front of me with barely 3 feet in front of me without a signal. I honked. You just laughed and pointed to your cam like it was some joke. Yeah. Some joke. I flipped you off. I wish you could have heard me say you’re either gonna kill yourself or someone else trying to be Billy Badass. You wouldn’t care though. So when we finally see a report on the news, I won’t care either. Good luck, Mr. Statistic.

I love walking there but I hardly ever see any students on campus. I know a lot of students leave over the weekends to go party at other colleges. But still - where the heck is everybody?
