I lived in Springfield for years. We raised our two sons there. Happy to have gotten out before the bottom dropped out. It's a shame. It actually has the potential to be a nice walkable city, but the corruption is so pervasive they're fucking themselves. But hey, they've got more strip bars per capita than just about about anyplace in America! Focus on the positive.
