Hello. I grew up in Springfield throughout the 90s and spent my childhood there before moving to chicago. I was very much into comic books and would go to reader's world every week to get new issues. It was in the same shopping complex as a jewel but i dont remember the street. I looked it up and it doesnt seem to exist anymore. does anyone else have memories of this place or photos? I unfortunately wasnt able to visit it before it closed.

Any recommendations for the best screenprinting/alterations shop in town/nearby? To narrow down what I'm looking for, I have some really cool work-related designs I've been editing in Photoshop, but I'm unsure how they would look on a shirt. So, I wanted to make a few test prints and potentially surprise my coworkers with them to rock around the office and see how they look. Any information or recommendations would be helpful. Thanks!

Is anyone else having their light bill at 150-220$ for the summer being on a second floor unit ? I know the building is a little old but I changed filter and have it at 73

This might be a long shot, but figured it wouldn’t hurt to try.

Yesterday, my pup accidentally stomped a butterfly. I was hoping maybe it was just stunned, but when I looked again today I saw that she didn’t make it. So what I’m wondering is if there is anyone here in town that does butterfly “rehabilitation“ where you repair damaged wings of living butterflies with intact wings from dead ones.

The left wing is really damaged, but the right one is still perfectly intact! I’d love to be able to help out some other butterflies with this beauty. Photos show when I thought it might just be stunned and then after I collected it today.

Dropped my 3ds xl and now the right trigger won't work.

Does anyone want to play some board games, or maybe some uno? I already have some cards that I haven't used yet and I really want to play with someone. We could do it on a Tuesday afternoon.

I’m new to the area and looking for a nail tech who would be willing to and has experience with cat claw shaped nails. Would appreciate any recommendations.

Thanks 🙏🏻

Middle aged woman looking for folks who like to dance and sing and harbor fantasies of performing in drag à la Chappell Roan.

I’m thinking once a month we do karaoke at Lumpia House on a Friday, the next month we find a club and go dancing on a Friday. I would love to work up to performing in a drag show. I am not looking for romance.

Drag Club has two rules and a suggestion:

1) We go by aliases.
2) If we know one another outside of Drag Club we pretend we don’t.
3) Costumes.

All welcomed if the vibe is right, dm me. I prefer company while smoking, and I suck at rolling lol

Edit 1: plus if you have pets, even the odd ones
Edit 2: I’m 25 and a guy

Hey all, I have a Roland studio keyboard that has 3 broken key mechanisms. Anybody know a trusted keyboard repairman?

I took my child to the Nelson Center today and I think people were larping in the park. My younger brother is a young adult and doesn't have a lot of friends. I think he would really enjoy larping and could make some friends if he joined. How would one get involved?

There seems to be conflicting info based on actual user experiences that contrast what it says on their webpage and social media sites.

Jacksonville IL has Dons place, what is Springfield equivalent to it?

Trying to book a vacation. I'm not sure exactly how to go about it and have been looking for a travel agent/agency in Springfield but I can't find one. Help please?

Hey Menard County! Might be time for some trail maintenance!

Hello! I have a friend who put off volunteering from freshman-junior year, and now needs 60 service hours to graduate…
So, I’ve decided to help them, but I got my hours from teacher aiding, managing, and other things that they are unable to do now that the school year has started and those roles have filled.
So,
does anyone know of any service opportunities she can sign up for? Thanks!!!

I'm needing to have blood drawn. Are there any labs in or around Springfield that are open on a Saturday?

Greetings everyone. I'm looking to see if anyone knows where I could buy some authentic genuine (real not fake) Pokemon games for the Nintendo DS and 3DS? I've called Pawn Shops with no luck, seeing if anyone could recommend some other places here in town?

Any place in town that sells games/consoles, and would buy old consoles as well? I have seen some of the tabletop game stores but unsure if they sell gaming consoles and such.

Saw a red ferrari today near Washington park, I have seen Rolls Royce and G wagon. Didn’t expect Springfield to have such cars

I posted this in r/WPBL, but I figured I'd cast a wider net, just in case some local folks may have gone to these games, but don't follow the league closely.

I'm hoping somebody can help me out and I can help somebody out.

• I'm looking for an Ayami Sato from the August 8th game.
• Probably a Hyeonah Kim from tomorrow night's game. (We will be out of town and I'm pretty sure we won't be back in time.)

If you can help me with either of those, here is what I can offer in return:

• Kelsie Whitmore
• Ashton Lansdell
• Alli Schroder
• I have a couple of foul balls that I may be willing to part with one
• I have non-WPBL bobbleheads from our local teams, if that is your interest

I don't use any other socials, so if you know of one available, I'd appreciate any help.

Not only is the WPBL awesome, but I have been collecting bobbleheads from our local teams going back to the Speedy days of the Springfield Sliders. I'd love to keep my streak alive.

What is your go to place if you want a good tuna sandwich or fish&chips ?
