I've never had an issue with precheck needing me to remove anything. But most electronics I ever travel with is a laptop and ipad.

The couple of extra bucks for short term day rate is worth it over the hunt for a spot and hike from long term to the terminal, especially if weather might be bad when you come back.

OP what you have described when people drive to the end before getting over is a zipper merge and the people going to the very end before getting over are doing it the right way and helping congestion. Merging early makes congestion worst. May want to check your road rage a bit.

His commute may be the only peaceful part of his day. No coworkers to deal with and no family to listen to. Take the long way home boss.

Agreed. It’s prime real estate at one of the major intersections in the city. Of course it’s going to get developed. As you said the way developers and the city handled relations with the local neighborhood FUBARed the entire project before it even started.

It's a PAC funded by the Springfield Chamber of Commerce since they can't directly donate to candidates themselves. Hooray for dark money in local politics.

Reply to I miss The Palace theater by iced-macchiato
I'm old/young enough to have experienced the summer movie program where your parents would pay like some super cheap price for a package of movie tickets. They then took you during the week days of the summer to see movies that were usually a few years old at that point. First theatre was the one on Battlefield where Play it Again Sports is now when I was in elementary school and later it moved to the Palace after that closed when my brother was in elementary school.

Having to pick between 2 developers for that open seat is going to be like picking a giant douche or a turd sandwich.
With how badly the recent development projects have been managed from a communications and public relations standpoint, no matter your position on the developments themselves, it's hard to see how McClure can make any case he should get another term. Time for much of the city council to go for fresh ideas. That's even ignoring the fact he's already been mayor for 6 years and needs to move on for someone new.

I am a meathead and it was too meathead even for me. But finding a gym in the Springfield area any more is just picking the least worst of all the bad options, so you're not alone in your plight in Nixa.

I worked out at Rage in Nixa when I lived out that way. Definitely a meat head gym if that's not what you're looking for.

Depends if you want to go classy or hillbilly. For hillbilly you have to go with the OG Bass Pro. For classy I would pick one of the historic buildings or the square downtown. The fork if you know the history behind it is kind of cringe to represent Springfield.

Trails aren’t good? What are you smoking? Nature Center is excellent, several good parks with longish trails, Wilson’s creek is now free, just to name a few aside from the nearby state parks.
As someone that lived in KC for years and stills gets back up there very regularly what are you seeing that’s so great and free in downtown KC? P&L is free to get in to but you’re not going to have fun if you don’t spend any money on food and drinks.
College students don’t just move away because Springfield is not ideal to live like a larger city, there’s also a tiny job market and no way we could support large numbers of graduates every year with new jobs.

Reply to comment by PredictablyRetarded in Another garage? More parking on Park Central? If you’ve got downtown parking thoughts, Springfield wants to hear them by [deleted]
This may predate you by just a couple of years downtown, but there used to be a nice grocery store in where Seattle Roast is now. It was all wrong trying to be some upscale / organic store since Price Cutter figured that's what downtown residents wanted ala Consentino's in KC downtown. I only shopped there sparingly because prices were so out of whack with a regular grocery store. Ultimately lack of business and you guessed it homeless made it unfeasible to keep it open.

CID only tickets during business hours during the week. Not sure how this helps parking downtown, especially since the limited street parking can be tied up all day by someone.

Let's be the real the best lots that are most convenient to where most of the stuff downtown is the private lot that once used to be public and the MSU lot. City wants to start using imminent domain after Hotel of Terror, now is their chance to put it to use downtown. Take the private lot back over.
I always love the city saying "all the free parking lots & garages downtown". They are great and I would use them, but they are clear on the other side of downtown from where a lot of the most popular stuff is on Walnut between Jefferson & South.

Wonders of Wildlife may not be budget friendly for you but is pretty good. Just get tickets to the aquarium side. The rest of it is pretty cringe stuffed dead animals for the owner to show off his BDE hunting prowess.
