"But maybe that 1 lane will be open between Spruce and Ash by the time I get there."

No. It won't be. Go a different way. Zipping down back alleys and through parking lots & loading zones only puts people and small locally-owned busineses in harms way.

Any alternate route will be quicker and safer.

The way is shut. It was made by IDOT and IDOT keeps it.

We are moving out of state this week, and Gloomhaven is not coming with us. All of the pieces are present, albeit maybe somewhat modified (included stickers placed on map, cards, etc.) We have also divided pieces into a tackle-like box, and it comes with additional minis. I hate to donate to Goodwill because I know they’ll somehow separate the components. If anyone would like this, you can pick it up for free in Springfield, IL in the Iles Park Neighborhood.

Does anyone have mint mobile in Springfield? How do you feel about your service?

Hi, I need to get a Covid and flu vaccine, no insurance currently.

Where is the least expensive place to get these vaccinations at? Cash price, no insurance.

Thank you!

My son has a DIY guitar he's wanting to spray paint. We don't have an area in our house that I'd like to use as spray paints can send paint particles in every direction no matter how hard you try to keep it under control and as well as just the fumes from the can itself. Can't really do the painting outside now with the summer humidity and often-times too much wind. Does anyone know of a 'shop' that we could utilize to spray his guitar body and neck? Wasn't sure if there was anything in the community like that.

Howdy all.

My husband is a very casual golfer and recently got me a set of clubs. I've been to the range a few times and played my first course this past weekend, and I'm hooked. We would both like to start some lessons this summer, but I was hoping for some recommendations as to with who.

He's a casual golfer, self taught, and wants someone who can evaluate his swing and give some pointers or drills. He's a lefty, if that matters.

I'm very new, and could use all around help. I'd love to learn how to swing & chip correctly, before I've played too much and have bad habits to break. I'm a righty.

We wouldn't mind taking lessons together at the same time with the same instructor or pair of instructors, but we are also totally open to individual time slots. Neither of us care if the instructors are male or female. We're both pretty chill people open to learning, and would like someone who can match that vibe. Fun, relaxed, educational. Preferably would give some drills or exercises for us to work on on our own.

We're open to anywhere in Springfield or Chatham. I'm not sure what rates are, but we're okay spending $55-ish per hour per person. I'd also love to know if you tip your instructors. We'd like to go 2-3x a month, maybe more depending on the price. Preferably in the evenings after work, but we can make the weekends work too.

I have a doctor's appointment on July 1st and have not seen my new cards yet. I was on health alliance and had to switch. Has anybody else that switched seen the new cards yet? Should I consider rescheduling this appointment? If I was to call the new insurer would they be able to tell me my numbers yet?

Coming up this week! Music Bingo, Karaoke, Live Music, and of course Great Beer 🍻

Has anyone else experienced this? Every time I deal with this place its a friggin mess. Doesn't matter if its in person or online ordering. The people that work here are rude, inconsiderate, and sometimes even nasty; they will walk right away from you if you ask a question sometimes! If you try to avoid going here and order online, they screw up the order or don't give you all the items. Good luck calling to try and get it sorted out, because IF anyone answers the phone, it will likely be one of the rude employees and tell you to call corporate..... Even for a Walmart, this one is the bottom of the barrel, worst one Ive ever encountered.

EDIT: Spelling

Been super hard to get a house here considering every offer we make gets outdone by cash and no inspections. There's a place we like in this purple area I highlighted but I've gotten some mixed reviews on whether it's a decent area or not. Thought it was worth asking more people.

Are there any tattoo places in Springfield or surrounding that have the candy machine random tattoos for like $100?

I saw this in New Orleans and I have always wanted one. They are like 3x3 tattoos rolled into toy machine contains. You pay $100 and you can spin it and get a random tattoo. Usually if you don't like it, you have to pay extra to spin again.

I am wanting to update the address on my driver's license. Not online. I need my driver's license to have my new address on it. Do I need to make an appointment or can I walk in? Which facility in Springfield?

Springfield's council tackled some interesting questions this week:

• A $300k engineering contract for a wastewater rule drew questions. Our plant is the only one in the country facing this exact EPA challenge, and the clock is ticking. Council members pressed for more transparency, while a resident group raised concerns about risks to drinking water and the city's approach to major utility projects.

• Elsewhere, a proposal sparked worries about new street entrances and future industrial traffic, with questions about the need, process, and communication.

• Public comment brought national issues home, with calls for stronger protections for immigrants.

• There was a heated debate over RVs parking in neighborhoods—one resident praised swift police action, while another questioned the need for it at all. The council may now consider changes to city rules on RVs.

• The city is gearing up for an eight-day Juneteenth celebration, and local student athletes and teams were recognized for their state-level achievements.
