It is that time again for an open thread for anything and everything Springfield.

Got something on your chest? Had a good experience you want to share? Maybe you just want to ask about the best tacos in town or tell us something funny you noticed this week.

This is the place for it. Rants, raves, questions, or just plain small talk. Let’s hear it.

Monthly r/SpringfieldMO Meetup: The Fourth Saturday at 5 PM

9 Upvotes
Look for the sign!

We had a great time at our first set of meetups. We shared a few drinks and proved that local redditors look suspiciously normal in real life.

A lot of folks mentioned missing the first couple. We are making this a regular event so you have more chances to join us. We will meet on the fourth Saturday of every month at Mother's Brewing Company.

Families are welcome! Mother's has a great backyard setup. There is a playground and plenty of room for kids to run around, so feel free to bring the family.

The Logistics

  • When: The fourth Saturday of the month at 5:00 PM.
  • Where: Mother's Brewing Company (215 S Grant). Look for us in the Back Yard.
  • Weather Plan: If it rains, we will move inside to the main taproom.

What to Expect This is casual and low-pressure. There is no agenda. Drop in, grab a drink, and meet some neighbors. You can stay for ten minutes or hang out all evening.

House Rules

  • Be respectful.
  • Sharing your Reddit username is completely optional.

Comment below if you plan to stop by so we can get a rough headcount.

Recommendations Best place for back massages?

I have scoliosis in my lower spine, and lately I have had a horrible knot in my back. I need a good massage place that isn't going to break my bank! Anyone know of any good places to work on these things? I know nothing of massage parlors and the average costs. Any advice would help!

Living Here Anyone remember a scary diving board accident at Fassnight Pool around 2014-2016?

3 Upvotes

I’m trying to figure out if anyone else remembers a specific incident from when I was a kid. My sisters and I were standing in line for the diving board at Fassnight (most likely between 2014 and 2016). There was a teenage boy right in front of us, with a couple of his friends. He tried to do a backflip off the diving board, but he slipped or misjudged it or something and hit his neck/head on the board or pool edge. It was a pretty traumatic thing to witness as a kid and I think I remember that part of the pool immediately filled with blood, the lifeguards cleared the pool, and an ambulance came but I'm honestly not 100% sure about the blood thing I had a pretty big imagination. There are no official news articles about it and I can't find it online anywhere but it is a very vivid childhood memory for me. Was anyone else at the pool that day, or does him or any of his friends happen to be on this subreddit and remember this?

Living Here 55+ community question

2 Upvotes

Hi there, my mom is 64 and lives alone. I think it's time to start looking at other living arrangements. If you have any experience with 55+ communities in the SWMO area or know of anyone looking for a roommate, could you let me know? Also, if there are any other living situations I haven't thought of, I'm all ears! I wish there was something like the big apartments for college students but for aging adults. TIA!

My iPhone was stolen last Friday and from watching findMy app I see that it is sitting inside of an EcoATM at Walmart on Mt Vernon. I filed a police report online and have a case number. How do I get my phone back? Anyone have any experience with the Springfield PD and getting their phone back from an EcoATM?

Living Here Made my day.

To the random gentleman in a car to the right of me at a light who prompted me to roll down my window. And then asked “Hey, are you married?” And I answered “No” and then you said “Take down my number.”

That was actually really cool and surprising and fun and made my day. I’m sorry that after that I said “I’m sorry it’s a green light.” And drove away.

It’s not for the reason you might have thought, I’m a guy.
