This is the place for it. Rants, raves, questions, or just plain small talk. Let’s hear it.

Monthly r/SpringfieldMO Meetup: The Fourth Saturday at 5 PM

11 Upvotes
Look for the sign!

We had a great time at our first set of meetups. We shared a few drinks and proved that local redditors look suspiciously normal in real life.

A lot of folks mentioned missing the first couple. We are making this a regular event so you have more chances to join us. We will meet on the fourth Saturday of every month at Mother's Brewing Company.

Families are welcome! Mother's has a great backyard setup. There is a playground and plenty of room for kids to run around, so feel free to bring the family.

The Logistics

  • When: The fourth Saturday of the month at 5:00 PM.
  • Where: Mother's Brewing Company (215 S Grant). Look for us in the Back Yard.
  • Weather Plan: If it rains, we will move inside to the main taproom.

What to Expect This is casual and low-pressure. There is no agenda. Drop in, grab a drink, and meet some neighbors. You can stay for ten minutes or hang out all evening.

House Rules

  • Be respectful.
  • Sharing your Reddit username is completely optional.

Comment below if you plan to stop by so we can get a rough headcount.

I clicked on <a recent> thread and was excited to discuss it only to find out it was locked. The platform had already done its job; all the negative posts were downvoted and hidden for me, leaving valuable and positive conversation at the top. But it was too late, I couldn't participate because it was locked.

Please consider letting the community and platform do their thing.

Living Here Flashing red lights at Sunshine/Ingram Mill intersection

5 Upvotes

Just a PSA, all four lights at the intersection of E Sunshine St and Ingram Mill Rd are currently flashing red. I was sitting at the light just a few minutes ago when it started, and it's already a clusterfuck out there. Not sure what's going on but if you need to go down that road in the next hour (at least) I'd suggest another route

Where could someone find reasonably priced men's jewelry? Would love a thrift store, but I'd prefer not to go to a pawn shop. Most places I find women's jewelry and no men's.

Ask Springfield Need a bit of muscle & energy Help for disabled couple

2 Upvotes

Need to find one or two people that are willing to help a disabled couple clear out their house, moving some items & boxes into a storage unit. They really don’t have funds on hand to pay for this, and they don’t know what to do.

Send me a PM if interested in sharing some kindness and I will get you in touch with them.

Estimate it to be a 2 day task at 6 hrs a day?

Living Here job recs? server but *anything* is cool. no luck at alllllll :(

11 Upvotes

Hi, like sooo many people i’m trying to find a job! any recommendations or whatever would be VERY appreciated. 25 M, normal all around and no felonies or anything like that haha. a set schedule is not an issue. i just need HOURS and not some 20 a week kind of place. not trying to work just for gas money. don’t really care about benefits at this moment. hoping to hear back from places the next few days/get a job but been the same for weeks

i’ve been a server for years (a great one lol) and just moved back to help take care of family for a bit. was at walmart but hours (along with pay and actually working there) sucked and not enough to live off of. if anyone knows of places hiring/maybe your job if understaffed then it’d be amazing. already tried all the chain restaurants and about 230 other places around town. retail, fast food, restaurants, gas stations, vape shops, small businesses, doordash, amazon have all been nothing. at least as of current. it’s all leading to nothing and it’s the whole “i’ll let someone know you called/pass it on/we are reviewing stuff” that obviously leads to nowhere as i’m sure a lot of people are aware of. extremely oversaturated yet everywhere seems to be understaffed but still “hiring”
i’ve gone in person too at some but goes back to letting someone know i was interested.

extremely stressed with trying to find just about anything that is able to pay hopefully more than min wage since that’s hardly anything. i don’t have any certifications regarding hospital or factory or manufacturing jobs and wouldn’t be a fit even though i’ve applied. i have a degree for film/acting (what i want to do is be in entertainment but trying to be realistic currently especially in missouri) and in progress of getting marketing and management degree even tho that means nothinggggg nowadays. i have an associates too. just trying to live and make sure my cats are taken care of!

it’s all who you know so if anyone knows someone who is hiring then it’d take you up on it! i’m open to most things that will hire me, even if it’s sugar mommy/daddy, i’m not picky.
THANK YOU IF ANYONE IS ABLE TO OFFER ANY SUGGESTIONS!!!

Living Here Do any trash companies pull out your dumpster for you?

6 Upvotes

Does anyone know of any trash companies that will walk up to your garage door and pull the trash can to the street? Would be willing to pay more if needed. My parents are disabled and their driveway is not long (15 ft or so) but it’s very slightly too steep so I worry about them falling down. I would do it myself but I don’t live in the area.

Ask Springfield RC LiPo recycling

4 Upvotes

Call Hobby Town/Batteries plus(said yes but when visiting store got told no)/Computer recycling center. Could not find one that will take a LiPo with a damaged cell.

Is there a place in or around Springfield that will accept a damaged battery?

Update: will update more as they are called and verified.

Called Complete Electronics Recycling and they would accept them if they were undamaged. Being swollen they will not take them.

eSCO says they will take a puffing LiPo. Three dollars a pound to recycle. When I have time to drive over and drop off will report back if they truly take it.
