Where can i get decent late night food in springfield? Specifically breaded pork tenderloin if available.

Anyone else bored in this town? I sure am! Feel free to dm me if you’re bored and wanna chat

This is mostly me lamenting Buzz Bomb’s “Dog Days of Summer” Sundays and looking for people to share dog-friendly opportunities I may not be aware of.

We used to take Bernadette, our golden retriever, out to Buzz Bomb and Slauterhouse in Auburn before they both closed. Two openly dog-friendly options. I loved being able to sit outside in nice weather and have a beer with my dog, and dogs magically promote socialization between humans. Weldon the corgi joined the fam this year and he wants to hang too!

The only options I can think of are Obeds’ beer garden and the outdoor gravel food court on sixth street, both of which are dog friendly, but not really set up with dogs in mind. They aren’t well shaded at all and the food court is entirely gravel.

Are there options I’m not aware of? Thanks!

I'm looking to get some driving lessons but there aren't any driving schools in Springfield. Does anyone know an instructor I can get some lessons from?

LITHC property, 46 million rehab complex, 3 bedroom house for $900 a month. Dream come true except it's bad history (but completely rebuilt and remodeled). Is the area safe?

Update:found a ride just gotta figure out tomorrows ride

Anybody have any insight or info about Sonic on Dirksen? I know they got hit by lightning a week or so ago.

Any good or decent halal food options in Springfield?

Hi everyone!

Anyone know of any mechanical engineering jobs/companies that hire mechanical engineers (aside from Hanson, State of IL, City of Springfield, Bunn, or Simplex. I already know about those)? Thanks!

I realize that there’s not a lot of places to go, but I’d rather not drive to Decatur every day.

I know it's not the best idea in general to walk around wearing headphones, but if I get used to the walk and stay on the sidewalk, will it be ok? I tend to zone out and the thoughts get scary when I don't walk to music. I can live with it, but it's not preferred. (I'm new to the area, if that wasn't clear)

UPDATE Confirmed E. Coli from partner. I am going to go get tested. 😅😅

Has anyone else experienced any stomach issues after eating at DQ? I have been to this specific one twice in the past month and last time, my partner got sick. Then I went to this one a separate time and then I got a stomach bug too. Seeing if anyone else had experienced this and maybe warn people if they do. 😅

Best cocktail bars to go chill at? Same for wine bars?

Best bars in general for a younger crowd, or a fun young dive joint? (Im 24)

I’m planning on walking dogs until the cold weather hits. What would you personally pay for a dog walk under an hour?

(Not advertising, just curious!)

Hello! I’m looking for someone or people to go to the state fair with today or tomorrow. I'm a recent UIS graduate and a working professional right now. I'm just looking for some people to go to the state fair with and make more friends around here. Thank you. Anyone interested DM me.

It is just astounding at how many people either make Springfield seem like a 3rd world Nation or like the most crime ridden city in America. None of those people have seen true crime or misery, yet they toil in misery of their own making. Just an observation from a person who has lived here 3 years and love the area. As for the people, the non-defeatists are fine too 😊

Hey team, unfortunately for a bunch of reasons I believe the time has come to part ways with my Turtle. I’m hoping to find a good home for him pretty fast. Everything is included from the black stand, everything inside the tank, the lights on the tank; I also have an RO water filter I use for filling his tank I would include. Plus a bunch of back up items for the filter and him. The plants and decor on the sides and bottom would not be included. For the right person the right price! If you don’t want him, let me know where I am able to sell him.

Am I hearing tornado sirens right now west side?

Edit: our vet is able to perform surgery today.

Thank you everyone for your recommendations though ❤️ I appreciate them so much you don't even know

We took our cat to the emergency vet this morning and unfortunately she has a hair tie in her small intestine and requires surgery. Immediate surgery, which was recommended, is more than we can afford. (We've just now bouncing back after financial hardships and job loss). We're trying other avenues such as carecredit, scratch pay and all of that but aren't having the best luck.

So far our options are 2.5k-5k for the necessary surgery at an emergency vet clinic, 400 dollars for euthanasia and cremation, or I did manage to schedule a more affordable surgery for a week from today, assuming lord willing she makes it that long. (We are keeping a close eye on her. If things start to go downhill we aren't going to let our girl suffer).

Does anyone have a recommendation for vets that are in some of the smaller cities that are more affordable?

On the IDHS Notice of Privacy Practices form it states in one section:

"Organ and Tissue Donations. In limited circumstances, IDHS can share health information about you to an organ procurement organization."

I hope this is ONLY if you put yourself as an organ donor on your driver's license or on a donor registry.

What about if you're not an organ donor or don't want to be one, does IDHS still call these organ agencies and inform them of your end of life status? These organ donation companies can be very aggressive and pressure the family.

Does anyone have any more information on this?

My friend is pregnant me and my other friend I were thinking since she will be close to giving birth like a month and a half or so to do like a little staycation day and do massages and then get dinner or something. Anywhere in Springfield that has multiple therapist that can do all 3 massages at the same time? And is not a chain so no massage envy massage luxe type places oh and has to offer prenatal massage
