hey where are some of those public barbecue grills at

Submitted by GinWithJennifer t3_zwllc9 in springfieldMO

I went to James River and a couple of parks looking for those public metal barbecue grills

I was gonna cook vegetables or at least know where to go cook fish when I catch any.

But I'm not seeing them literally anywhere and I swear I've seen them before. Were they removed? I'm so salty :(

I thinking about going to one of the lakes to look there and if I can't find one maybe just starting a fire to cook but it would be so much better with one of these grills. I'm saltier than my food ):<

Oh no thank you I'd prefer to save the space in my car (I'm homeless, dw I'm fine.) The public grills are quite alright.

Fellows lake has plenty. The fishing isn't the best but you can visit from dusk till dawn. You should definitely check it out.

I went to Springfield lake since I went to James River first.

It was pretty good. I usually eat vegetarian or Prescetarian (vegetarian but with fish.) But a friend gave me this elk sausage and venison so I cooked it up and omg it was so good!!! It was sooo good I went and fed some to all my friends and they loved it. I spared everyone from the carrots.

I want to do this every weekend. Go cook in the parks with my solar panel farm and go around feeding people for free.

This person is homeless by choice. They don’t want any possessions. They just want to leach off society.

I pay taxes and work. You demonizing me for my life style is just hateful.

Homelessness is a life style? I guess homelessness comes with a data plan these days.

I have a job and pay for my plan with money that I make from working. Do you think homeless people are disallowed from having phones? Is that illegal?

This person is unable to describe what OP is actually leeching from society, other than some abstract "good will" concept that seems to be defined as "whatever I need it to be in order to win the argument."

I work and pay taxes. So whatever the fuck they're talking about I imagine is just veiled hate. I'm trans and homeless and I like it. Someone taking issue with that is just being an asshole because they can. No surprise though.

I'm on your side here. This prick has nothing to back up what he's trying to say.

Right it's just ignorance and dislike for things or people different from themselves. If you just let people be happy they might share it with their local subreddit and some people (losers) just couldn't live with that. Imagine someone just cooking on a public grill meant for everyone and anyone! No for they're entitled to it.

Not sure what that has to do with my comment, but fuck no.

The point is that your spiel about "leeching off society" for wanting to find a public grill sounds like something a MAGAt would say.

JonnyG24 t1_j1xz2nd wrote

Not MAGA. OP has chosen to be homeless. Admitting that they wanted to be “free” and said things like ‘apartment living didn’t work because the neighbors were annoying’

There are real homeless people that don’t have a choice. I believe OP is taking advantage of the less fortunate by choosing to be homeless.

How's that work?

I should have said taking advantage of those who are helping the less fortunate. If you're choosing to take handouts when, self admittedly, you don't have to... I'm weird like this... I think its wrong.

_ism_ t1_j243sam wrote

I had a choice and "chose" homelessness too. I could have stayed with the abusers feeding me free drugs, but I decided I didn't deserve their handouts

JonnyG24 t1_j245g2v wrote

I'm sorry for your situation and can sympathize. That's a different situation than OP. I'm not judging anyone who is homeless by real circumstances like yours. OP has admitted in previous posts that they chose to be homeless because of the freedom it provides and didn't like living in an apartment because of noisy neighbors. OP also says it's a lifestyle choice. OP has a a job and admittedly can take care of themselves, but has freely chosen not to and uses churches for shelter and this post this looking for public grills etc. If someone can support themselves, but choses to rely on others for help... I think it's an insult to those, like you, that have real struggles. It's also an insult to those who are trying to help.

Most of the parks. I know the park by the zoo has some, Doling has(had) some.

Sometimes there are uppity people at Phelps. Maybe that’s why the poster said to not go there.

Oh ic, yea I just wanted some relative isolation

I set up my solar panel and someone stole it. My fault I forgot until it was too late. But worse they're probably not even gonna know what it's for and throw it away, so that ticks me off.
