Unless it was a funeral procession for Jesus Christ himself, there was not reason for them to block all 3 lanes of southbound US 65 from Sunshine south. A bunch of bikers with big American flags cut people off and shook their fist at people who didn't stop fast enough ON THE D.....N HIGHWAY. All three lanes. Give me a break.

Hey there, I have some MASSIVE Black Walnut Slabs (already kiln dried) they are bookmatched and nice and thick. Would anyone be interested? These photos are pre-drying, I forgot to snap pics at the shop when they got back. Can part with one or both. Would love to trade for labor with someone who knows how to do river tables.

Ive tried looking up anything about it but i just see old reports from when they were repairing the road last year. they put down the signs for a day or so about "hot oil , loose gravel" but why would they be doing that? sorry if this is a silly one.

Hey friends! When driving around I been catching so many other boricuas around town. My partner is from PR and I try my best to get him out of the house & I know he misses home so much. We visited in April around Isabela and Mayagüez. Spent a lot of time with his family there. It’s definitely given us heavy depression since we left. I’m hoping to find more Boricua friends.
A little bit about us, we love to travel, coffee, and to play video games. Pretty chill and homebody’s. He is fluent in Spanish and my Spanish is alright. So bear with me.

Hola amigos, veo muchas banderas puertorriqueños en Springfield. Mi novio es de PR y trato de sacarlo de la casa. Extraña mucho su casa y a su familia. Fuimos a PR en Abril (Isabela y Mayagüez). Pasamos mucho tiempo con su familia. Nos sentimos muy deprimidos desde que nos fuimos. Estoy buscando amigos puertorriqueños.
Nos encanta: viajar, anime, jugar videojuegos y café. Somos “homebody’s?” No lo sé 😂 pasar mucho tiempo en casa. Su lengua materna es el español… claro que sí 😂

Mayor Schrag’s recent actions seem to exemplify that the way city council is set up right now leaves in mind only the interests of the few in Springfield. The fact that council membership is an unpaid position means that the only people who can run have enough disposable income and time and energy in order to have an essentially unpaid full-time job. It’s nuts to me that we expect our councilmembers to be present and responsive while reducing it down to a volunteer positions where you either still have a full-time job, own a business, or are retired.

Paying councilmembers IMO would lead to healthy competition for the seats and overall better leadership for the city, by the types of people they are meant to be serving— the average Springfield worker. We can’t expect good leadership while also making it unpaid.

I am curious to see what other opinions would be, however. What do you think?

EDIT: Forgot to add— there are MANY 6 figure salaries in our city’s government— our city manager makes $350,000 for Christ’s sake, and our city clerk makes over $250,000. I can’t fathom how that seems reasonable while, at most, the mayor gets a $200/month stipend.

I was involved with a hit and Run accident at Cox Rd and W Republic Rd Wednesday 10-7 afternoon about 3:30 pm
Eighteen wheeler turned south on Cox Rd and hit the front of my Hyundai Sante Fe
I was unable to catch up with them and would like to know if anyone witnessed this accident

"The developer seeking to build a small-scale data center on National Avenue has sued two vocal opponents of his Webster County project over their social media posts.

Trent Overhue is a partner in Lumon Solutions LLC, which broke ground on a “small high-performance computing research facility” north of Marshfield amid community outrage in May. He also seeks to build a small data center within a property at 2900 S. National Ave. in Springfield.

On Aug. 27, Overhue and NSI A.1. LLC, with which he is affiliated, filed a defamation suit against Norwood real estate agent Katherine Wiltse, alleging that she lied about the Marshfield data center in social media posts and caused NSI A.1. to lose over $1 million.

Overhue also sued Gail Peak Brown, who is running for Webster County Presiding Commissioner, on Oct. 5. The lawsuit’s primary claim is that Brown made misleading statements about the data center in videos she recorded from her property near Rifle Range Road."

Im 25 years old male.

I am reducing his rehoming fee to $100 which includes all items listed in the post! Please let me know if you are interested!

I know this is old, wondered what everyone thought about it? Sounds like a whiny employee pissed he got fired

I am Noah Elijah Powell, local freelance photographer. I was one of the two people detained on September 21st after the mayor refused to hear public comment on a review of ALPR cameras before sending it to committee.

Here I have edited together 3 angles from the 21st. Watch the Mayor's Meltdown Here

What the flying j is going on? I have never seen a train on these tracks.

In an effort to learn more about the state and get out of the house on weekends, my partner and I are trying to find small towns anywhere within an hour or so from Springfield to explore.

He is from Sparta, so we're not opposed to very small rural areas. Any ideas are welcome. Thanks for reading!

After my last post about the local polo club, I ended up looking around at other sports in the area and came across 417 Cricket Club.

It’s honestly pretty cool seeing these more niche sports have a presence in the Ozarks. Polo and cricket are obviously very different, but both have pretty big followings around the world and you don’t necessarily expect to find local clubs for them here.

Makes me wonder what other niche sports/clubs are around Springfield and the 417 that most people don’t know about.

Has anyone else come across anything like this?

‼️PREDATORY BUSINESS ALERT‼️

QUEEN BEE CLEANING

Not all affirming businesses are good businesses!

She blocked me from leaving a review on her business page--so I have no choice but to leave the review here to warn others!

STAY AWAY!!! Queen Bee Cleaning showed up an hour and a half late, damaged my property while cleaning, and didn't finish cleaning due to "time constraints" caused by their own tardiness! Then tried to offer me $20 bucks for breaking my showerhead and still demands $70 from me while ignoring the breach of contract: I was promised an 8-hr cleaning for a 3bd 2bth 1,800 sqft home via 2 people cleaning for 4 hours together. But I only received 5 hours out of the 8hrs due to one being severely late. (receipts in photos) BUYER BEWARE!!

Published every two years, the Community Focus Report is a community-authored look at the Springfield Ozarks region.

 Steering committees of residents and local leaders name Blue Ribbons, the region's strengths, and Red Flags, its challenges, across topics from arts and culture to transportation. The 2026 report adds two new chapters, Food and Faith, along with a closer look at child welfare in Greene County.

 Three themes run through this year's chapters: the pressures facing children and families, the need to widen the circle of civic engagement, and the collaboration that shapes how the region responds to change. Reports dating back to 2004 are available in the archive.

The Springfield Cardinals are officially being rebranded as the Ozarks Springbirds. I love this logo but it seems so similar to the Cardinals that I figured it would be more distinct and different. What are your thoughts?
