Where is the best couples massage in western mass?? Looking to go as far west as Worthington. Hoping to find a place for my partner and my anniversary. Thanks!

I am looking for images of the Springfield Police Department uniform from the late 80s or early 90s. Any leads to point me in the right direction would be tremendously helpful. Actual photographs would be a dream come true. Thank you in advance.

Just moved to Forest Park and looking for a local mechanic who is reasonably priced and trusted. Specifically need an oil change ASAP and an aging vehicle that occasionally needs more significant work. Any recommendations?

Hello everyone,

Am relocating to Springfield and wondering how much do i expect to pay for heating cost during winter.

Also i heard i have to buy oil to fill the tank for heating the house of 1300 sqft.

For me and my wife with no kid living in the house, how much do you think i should estimate just for heating cost during winter and spring.

Also how much do you guys typically pay for heating the house?

Thanks

Yokai! Songs of the Japanese Supernatural is a unique jazz project by bassist Fumi Tomita with songs inspired by Yokai and other supernatural spirits.  Yokai are derived from Japanese folklore and come in human, animal, or even inanimate forms,sometimes at the same time!  Images of Yokai are often fantastic, bizarre, mysterious, grotesque, sometimes haunting or humorous, and overall, simply wonderful.  They prove to be a natural basis for jazz improvisation. The show is a multimedia experience with images of Yokai and other supernatural beings gracing the screen as the music is being performed.  

Hey everyone I need an old golf club for a Halloween costume, im guessing it’s kind of hit or miss if goodwill etc have any so I was just wondering if anyone has seen them around locally before I go looking. Ty

Hi everyone, I have question for the group regarding travel to Boston from the area.

For starters, Im new to the area. First time living in the NE and around viable mass transit options. I’ve tried to get an idea of what different options there are to travel to Boston for the day or maybe overnight.

I’m curious how folks from the area do it. Obviously one option is to drive. I see the traffic looks a mess at times, so I’m guessing most either tolerate or find a different way?

So if you’d be willing to share some ideas, I’d be more than grateful. Things like costs for driving, parking, bus, train, etc would be welcomed information as well.

Thank you in advance!

The city of Springfield fought Wednesday in a Superior Court hearing to steer its disputes with MGM Springfield out of closed-door arbitration — and keep issues in court and before the public.

Have a ticket for this trip that we don't need. Anyone want to use it? Paid $30 for it.

This past weekend we went to a T-birds game and discovered that at least half the typical concessions places had been replaced with grab and go type kiosks. I have no idea who to complain to, but it's awful. The food is generally worse and if you don't get it before the game starts it's all cold by the end of the first period. In addition to this it really screws people over with dietary restrictions since there's no longer any customization on these items. You take what's available and that's it.

Does anyone know what the hell prompted this change or who we can write to/call for feedback? None of the people around me were happy with the change (understatement, many were pissed).

Just want to make people aware that the rate you get at GoNetspeed it is not locked in as they said signing up, but may rise without notice.

I just received notice that the Auto Pay discount, which was supposedly $5 a month and the Paperless Billing discount which is $5 for a total of $10 is now being reduced to $5 total in the upcoming Billing for the October bill, which means that there’s no notice at all.

Bottom line, they’re raising their rate $60 a year and this after I’ve only had my service since the end of June, and I called them on it and they said well they’re going to issue some kind of credit, but they don’t know what it is and that’s unacceptable.

I was told and have it in writing that the rate was supposed to be locked in for a year at least and four months is not a year.

Be forwarned.

65 Sumner Ave, Springfield, MA 01108

I have in my possession an 8 x 10 envelope labeled “operation morale “.

Inside the envelope are:
-Military supplied photography
-Bank documentation
-Press coverage

(I also have a folded flag from a fallen soldier from this war from Springfield, Massachusetts, as well as a vehicle hazard reflective triangle from Valley Bank And Trust

In winter of 68 a bank in springfield called Valley Bank & Trust entered into a joint venture with Westover Air Force Base during the Vietnam war.

The bank would hand out blank forms to their customers at any of the 25 location they had at the time. After customers filled them out and return them, the bank would then hand the forms to service members at Westover Air Force Base who would then read those letters out loud over the Radio airwaves using this new radio technology they had at the time.

The Bank documentation specifically says not to be removed from the bank.

One or two of the photos have the military stamp on the back. The photos are very professionally taken, and in excellent condition (as are the other documents)

The newspaper clippings cover the entire promotional period of this winter promo during winter of 68 in December.

I’m guessing this probably belonged to someone at the Bank on a higher level or someone who worked at Westover Air Force Base and died. Some of the photos that are included in the envelope are not used in the press coverage, which leads me to think that these were extras in case they wanted to push this promo even more or that they were given to whoever owned this as extras that were either rejected for promotional purposes or given in secret between those involved in putting this together.

I’m not sure who is interested in this type of stuff, but it’s a rare glimpse into how the United States, (specifically Springfield Massachusetts) tried to connect the public to their service members abroad during wartime in effort using the latest radio technologies at the time to keep morale up with soldiers to help win the war.

I don’t know, police or military history, and this predates my existence being that I was born in 86.

Are there any collectors out there interested in this local history? I’m broke, renting a single room, just trying to pay rent, and willing to part with this after years of ownership.

I reached out to news media who said they were interested in cover it, but had some stories on the burner, but I haven’t heard back from them.

I don’t know the value of this stuff.
If you’re interested, feel free to reach out.
If you know, people who are interested, let me know or let them know. Trying to keep this history here in Springfield if possible.

I did look up operation morale, but all that comes up on the Internet are psychological torture techniques that were done. I did call Westover Air Force Base this year and left a voicemail in their records department asking if they knew anything about this or had any documentation on their end, but I never heard back from them. My presumption is that they thought I was referring to the psychological torture techniques that show up on the Internet. I’m not sure if they would have this in their records anymore at this point.

Thanks for reading this far anyway.
If anybody has relatives that remembers this year in particular, and this Bank, I’d love to interview them and pick their brain about what it was like back then during this promotional period with this bank, considering banks now don’t do anything nearly like this, and haven’t since then.

Many thanks

The worst offenders are across from Duggan and Cottage street. Absolute trash service. 15-20 mins for just a coffee. Compare that to Chicopee on memorial - super fast. Any other did in the surrounding towns. Fine. The dd here are cursed.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what it’s like living in Kimball Towers? Past or present residents please give your insights! Thanks!

Someone slapped this “Two Parties, One Tyranny” Patriot Front sign on my street. Nothing like surprise fascist décor to really brighten the workday. I’ll be removing it consider it my community service for the week.
