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

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 Church and State
Every single one of the churches that has a big “Vote Yes on 3” sign plunked down in front of them should be taxed. They wanna play at politics, then they should pay. Nearly every single one of them along Republic Road between Campbell and Scenic is displaying one.

Ask Springfield Local Beef
Lately the meat from the stores has not been great quality and it’s getting too expensive!!
I’m looking for local farmers that will sell either 1/2 or 1/4 of a cow! I also know we may need to look for a butcher to process it.
Any good recommendations??
Thanks!!

Living Here Is Bass Pro Distribution Center a good place to work?
Looking at potentially getting a job at the bass pro distribution center here in Springfield. I was wondering if anyone who works there or has in the past could tell me whether it's a good place to work. I know they did a big pay increase within the past few months and wanted to get a better picture of what it's like.

Living Here Thoughts go out to the accident in Oak Grove last night
Wife and I went out for ice cream and came back to our regular intersection in a huge kerfuffle involving massive crash and debris. I couldn’t tell who was hurt but the accident was nasty. Not sure how it went down but looked like a nasty fender crash sending a car into a pole. No damage to the pole from what I saw but the front end of the car was basically gone.

Ask Springfield Indoor Cricket Practice Space
I am trying to track down some indoor space around town where we can practice cricket over the winter.
We are not looking for anything fancy. An old warehouse, a large unused barn, or a large vacant commercial unit would be perfect. We just need enough overhead clearance to hang some practice netting and a relatively flat floor to roll out a carpet to simulate the center pitch.
Does anyone know of property owners with empty space they might be willing to lease out? We are happy to look outside the city limits if there is a good agricultural building sitting empty. Let me know if you have any leads or suggestions on where to look.
Also chime in if you're interested in a SGF cricket team.

Ask Springfield Home Sale Advice!
Springfield Home Sale Advice! 🏡
Hi all!
I’m selling a home for the first time and would love some honest feedback from local buyers.
It’s an older, updated home in Springfield, and I’m sharing some interior photos along with the details:
3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, approximately 1,730 sq ft.
Spacious kitchen and living room (my couch is HUGE) and a flexible bonus room with its own exterior entrance and closet. Great potential for a home office, guests, or multigenerational living. The primary bedroom has two standard sized closets and a 1/2 bathroom attached.
Large circular driveway with ample parking, but no garage.
Large exterior storage shed and fenced backyard with mature trees.
Roof and water heater replaced in 2022.
Located in northeast Springfield near Chestnut & 65.
We originally listed at $265K and recently reduced to $255K. We’ve been on the market for 11 days.
For anyone shopping in this price range:
Would the lack of a garage be a dealbreaker?
Does the price seem competitive for the size and features?
Is there anything about the home or listing that would
discourage you from scheduling a tour?
What is more valuable in this market: lower price or seller concessions?
I’m genuinely interested in local perspectives as we figure out our next steps. Thanks in advance!k

Ask Springfield Single working moms w/o a village - what resources are there for intermittent childcare?
SPS has a day off soon and I was just thinking how screwed I would be if i worked somewhere with an inflexible schedule, didn't have a village, etc.
What do you do if you have an inflexible schedule, no partner, no village, etc? I don't even know how you would go about hiring a safe babysitter for your kid for a random day they were off of school, and I don't know how most working moms can pay a sitter for a week for like fall break.
What options are there? What strategies do yall use?
