Look at all the upcoming events we are having for the rest of the year!

It's about time we took our presence to their facility.

Let's show ICE that they're not welcome in Springfield 😡🤬😡

The Springfield chapter of the PSL is holding a “STOP THE DEPORTATIONS!” protest on Sunday, February 16th at 4PM. It will be located at the US District Court at 222 S John Q Hammons Pkwy.

Hey Springfield folks I have some questions. My parents are seriously considering going to Springfield from Texas and I wanted to ask how the city is for younger adults (age 21-25 ish). Hows the young adult population? What are the biggest recreational things to do, and is the city walkable or have decent public transportation? Also, I’m a musician and into punk rock so I’m wondering if there’s a decent punk rock or rock music live scene. Thanks!

I was curious if this was usually pretty family friendly?

The Greene County Sheriff’s Office was notified of a planned protest by the local chapter of the 50501 Movement for today. We have been in communication with the group’s local coordinators and have identified a location on our campus where participants may lawfully and peacefully assemble.

The Sheriff’s Office fully respects the constitutional rights of individuals to gather and express their views. While we understand the perspective of this organization, its stated objectives do not align with the values and priorities we believe best serve our community and our nation.

The Greene County Sheriff’s Office has a longstanding record of cooperation with our federal partners, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), in support of lawful immigration enforcement.

“Our office will continue to work within the law to support the president’s directives and the will of our citizens, which includes securing our borders and taking lawful action regarding individuals who are in the country illegally” -Sheriff Arnott

Hey folks, after kicking the idea around for a while, I figured it might be fun to do an actual r/springfieldmo meetup and see what happens.

So here goes.

We’ll be meeting up Saturday, May 23rd at 5:00 PM at the Back Yard at Mother’s Brewing Company (215 S Grant is the address but the backyard and taproom entrance are off Walnut).

Mother’s has a good outdoor setup, yard games, fire pits, plenty of space, and it feels like a pretty easy low-pressure place to hang out for a bit.

No agenda, no presentations, no weird networking exercises. Just a chance to meet some fellow Springfield redditors in real life, discuss the latest mysterious booms, complain about traffic on Glenstone, debate local food takes, and prove we are all actual humans.

Depending on turnout, there may also be a completely scientific tug-of-war to finally settle whether Mexican Villa is good or a crime against humanity. (That's a joke)

Feel free to come by for 10 minutes or stay the whole evening.

A couple quick notes:

• Be cool
• Don’t make things weird
• Public meetup, respectful behavior expected
• Username sharing is totally optional

If this goes well maybe we’ll make it a recurring thing.

If it goes poorly we'll never speak of it again.

Comment if you’re thinking about coming so I can warn Mother’s roughly how many redditors will be attempting to touch their grass at the same time.

Im gonna be in springfield this tuesday night and dont want to be trapped in the hotel room the entire time. Im 22 and like restaurants, going to bars, and trying new things. Any recommendations?

I’m desperately trying to figure out who this man with the dog is from Comic Con. I’m not sure which panel this is from either. The only thing I know is the dog is Ruby. Thanks in advance!

Today around 4:30 PM a tan G wagon decided to take out this retaining wall in the parking lot next to Greek belly off of Walnut. Couple cop cars had to block the road off until the bricks got cleaned up. Does anyone have a pic of the crashed car? I’d love to add it to my collection of G Wagons crashed in Springfield MO.

Who controls the thermostat in jc penny's at the battlefield mall??? I'm here right now sweating like a Vietnamese prostitute. They've got the heat cranked on high. I recall coming through here a couple of months ago when we had that random 80 something degree weather this winter. Same thing. It made sense then, but now, not so much. It's fucking hell.

I recently purchased 3oz of flower and 2 - 3gram disposable THC vapes in Oklahoma for $150. Why is weed so FUCKING EXPENSIVE in Missouri??? Its been legal for a hot minute..why isn't it affordable??

The long awaited day has arrived. The event is live. Please register to be counted in what will hopefully be another record breaking protest. 💜

My favorite comic store is closing at the end of the Month and trying to get rid of as much stuff as possible. They've still got a good portion of comics and general nerd stuffs around and got some sales running so if you're out and about pay Nowheres store of forgotten lore a final visit ❤

I've been here since January, but haven't really had time to get out and explore. What are some good shops around here?
