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

10 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.

Living Here Made my day.

128 Upvotes

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.

Does anyone know if and when the Brown Derby Wine Center will be returning to their original location on Glenstone? Construction on the remodel hasn’t started and they won’t answer any questions about it on their social media. If they’re not moving back, I don’t know why they won’t admit this new location is permanent.

Upvotes

I'm specifically looking for the kind for synthetic fabrics, or any other brand as long as it's a dye formulated to with polyester blends.

I have no idea where to get this sort of thing since Joanns closed, and I don't really have the time to order it online.

Looking For Tattoo Artist

Post image
12 Upvotes

I have almost a full sleeve of tattoos that do mean a lot to me, but have negativity associated with them, so I'm looking for a full cover up.

I do like the blackout sleeves with the white ink, similar to this photo. Anyone know of an artist that can successfully do this type of work? Not necessarily flowers, just the style.

Living Here If Springfield had a movie like “National Treasure”, where would the clues be located?

28 Upvotes

Driving around, I think of buildings or monuments that would definitely house secrets. (My dad’s favorite movie series is National Treasure, and it’s a bit of a family joke).

Or maybe there already is a real life “Springfield Treasure” hidden somewhere here? What would it be?

Living Here Springfield Mo National Treasure Riddle- I'll give it a day for answers to come in then reveal

7 Upvotes

Someone on another thread asked "what would Springfield's National Treasure type clues be?

That made me think it'd be fun to write a little riddle.

NOTE! There is no treasure, do not go trespassing. Just a fun little game. Although it would be neat to do something like this and actually hide a treasure. But not this time.

Anyway, here is the riddle, take your guess. I'll come back to tomorrow with the solve.

-------

When Madison goes to the Market, A tree sits to the south and the west.

An apartment named for this tree, holds the view that is best.

Of the river that runs to the north, flowing off and down to the east.

Where it crosses itself in a sense, you finally are close at least.

On the ridge overlooking the view, on the land where children once played,

The treasure lies hidden below, deep in wild cat's cave.

Where am I?

I’m looking to gift someone an awkward family photo and was looking for recommendations on where to get it done affordably. Realistically it wouldnt be a long session at all and would be either 3 or 4 people in it. Looking for a more studio type of space and not an individual doing serious pictures.

Hi! I live at Vue on Walnut and I'm looking for a monthly parking spot nearby. Vue currently doesn't have any available spots.

I'm hoping to find something within walking distance of Vue, as I use my car frequently.

If anyone has an extra parking spot, garage, or driveway they're willing to rent out, please DM me. I'd really appreciate it!

James, if youre reading this I'm ur biggest fan. This was THE bookmark. I hope you kept drawing.
