I haven't posted any links, and your link doesn't work for me. However, Christie's original Facebook post does have video with it. It happened over the weekend, the Sheriff's department will likely respond sometime this week, as they tend to stretch several days before reporting on actions against the homeless.

While you're trying to champion for the sheriff's office, it's clear you choose to or are just generally ignorant of their actions. They made press releases several times over the last couple months regarding homeless raids, and, again, just recently did a press release on a raid in January while using pictures from a raid during the summer. It changes the optics when you show photos of nice warm green areas being "cleared out" and not the reality of camps and personal belongings being destroyed in the dead of winter.

Congratulations on editing your other post multiple hours after your initial hard-hitting comment of

>Im.sayimg people are asking for proof of these claims and you're citing a facebook post.

Yeah, an activist (who's a religious leader and literally started her church to help the homeless and is one of the most effective outreach initiatives in Springfield) automatically debunks the claim. The police, and Sheriff Jim Arnott are so much more Christ-like and genuinely good folks who do nothing but out of the goodness of their own hearts and never try to push a hate-filled agenda against those "different" from Jim Arnott. Ignorant.

It's not a "Facebook post", but the direct relay of information provided from the homeless individuals whose belongings were burned to service folks who have boots on the ground every day with these groups and know them as equals and friends.

You are choosing instead to wait to see what the Sheriff's narrative will be concerning these atrocities despite them having a repeated history of such similar acts.

So, you are not believing the claims of the victims until the assailant confirms them. This isn't the first time service providers have been notified by homeless groups that their belongings have been doused in gasoline and set on fire by law enforcement. And we've already had instances this year where the sheriff has illegally destroyed camps without the 24 hr notice required within Springfield limits. Or posting photos from a different raid months ago when releasing a public statement. This sheriff is extremely shady, particularly when it comes to the homeless because the larger public chooses to not support these folks and allows their handling to go unchecked.

Christie Love isn't just "somebody". She's the founder and Pastor of The Connecting Grounds. Many would argue she is the leading knowledgeable expert on homelessness in Springfield, and she and her church are integral to any effective outreach initiatives. Her entire church is for the purpose of service. She led the effort to find other churches and places to open their doors during that insane freeze before Christmas.

She's not making anything up for internet clout. She is a trustworthy leader who lives to serve, particularly for North Springfield.

Ozark Greenways is a local non-profit that works to expand trail access in and around Springfield. Here's a link to their various trails (and a downloadable map to see everything): Ozark Greenways

I recommend the Fulbright Spring Trail off of Hwy 13 up near the zoo. Fellows Lake trail, or the Galloway trail.

I went once for what I expected to be a higher tier cut than what I'd get at a supercuts. While the wash was nice, the straight hair cut was just fine. No different, still about 10 minutes. I kind of figured but still hoped I'd have a better cut, but I feel there's probably not much that can be done with a long straight cut.

However, what ruined my experience was that I told them I don't like to use product or heat on my hair because my scalp is sensitive. The hairdresser burned the ever living shit out of my scalp because she blow dried my hair longer than it took to cut. I tried having her stop after about 5 minutes straight, but she said the middle/ends were still damp and she wanted them dry to check evenness. Then continued to pass the blow dryer over my scalp. Dealt with that scalp damage for over a week until the tingling and sensitivity subsided. At home, my hair takes no more than 5 minutes to dry, and I'm able to constantly keep the heat moving so I'm not concentrating in one area.

Hair cut was like $70 with tip because it was a long cut or something. I think, like most high-end salons, they prioritize color treatments over regular cuts.

Is weed illegal to say on the internet

That's crazy if you're already an established tenant and they won't accept transfer to any other property of theirs.

This trio of restaurants were just copycats of more successful restaurants in other cities. Bourbon & Beale and Guy Fieri's: menu, down to the plates/dishes they used. Hell, the french fries in their little baskets were straight ripoffs.

Taco Habitat reminded me of Torchy's down in Texas, and Hot Cluckers was Hattie B's.

Damn, dude took all those fake PPP loans but couldn't even have the sense to pay rent for the businesses he did have.

Ahh, the shadow credit report. So they develop a tenant "profile" of a bunch of personal and financial details and run it through algorithms for a computer to decide if the tenant is high risk or not. That screening tool has even less regulatory oversight than credit scores, and people and advocacy groups have raised concerns that these secret screening methods are a way to bypass equal housing rights and discriminate against otherwise acceptable candidates. For your sake, I hope it's the screening tool basing it off your student loans, while still a poorly applied derogatory remark on your tenant likelihood, and not some other BS discrimination.

But dti doesn't directly calculate into credit score. And student loans count as income for housing purposes as it's a legal way to use student loans. Apartments don't generally consider dti as it's more a use for lending purposes. They look at history of payments, bankruptcies, basically financial integrity. In this area, with so many students, colleges, and apartments, student loans wouldn't be a negative except for the most premium apartments, which I'm sure OP isn't pursuing.

Hmmm, then the student loans wouldn't be the source of a bad credit score. If they're deferred (don't require payment while in school), then there's not a chance to miss payments and aren't used to calculate FICO.

Did you miss student loan payments? Having loans and paying them on time help your credit score. If your credit score is low because you didn't uphold your side of the bargain on repaying loans, it's understandable that apartments take pause at that and wonder if you'll also try to skip out on upholding your lease.

Be warned that apartments with no credit checks will usually request something else to ensure you're good for renting: a higher deposit, a cosigner, higher proof of income, etc.

That's what a city that was initially not built around heavy use of cars does. Short blocks for easy access to neighborhoods and the university, particularly for walkers. Then you've got downtown.

The lights are well-timed and keep traffic moving.

The Backlot at the Alamo has it on tap, plus it's the Charity on Tap beer of the month, so all month long Watching Over Whiskers will get proceeds when the beer is ordered at the Backlot or in a show!

In before "Roy Blunt Field"

TurboTax is no longer part of the IRS free file program, so that's why (a hole scammers anyway). The way the government lets the lobbying tax return companies screw over the American public is such a farce.

Have you been going through the IRS Free File page? Anyone who makes 73k or less can file a federal tax return for free, no matter how complicated. Some state filings are free as well.

Why shouldn't schools prioritize safety in adverse conditions? OP talks about keeping school and work going to make a good example for the kids. That's BS. Schools and work should prioritize people's safety. We literally just spent years refocusing as a society for this.

Standard ice melt only works down to the upper 20s. MODOT and the city can add additional chemicals if temps will be below that range, but it makes it a lot more expensive.

Ongoing weather the last two days hasn't helped either. You can melt the ice, but if it's just going to melt, get colder, and sleet again, there's no use. Need sun to help melt everything away.

Snow's not the issue, it's the ice sheets. It's been sleeting for 2 days.

Pinches Taco truck in front of Pep Boys on Battlefield. Taco Express truck near the brown derby/U-Haul on north Glenstone. Tacos El Gordo (I prefer the north side). Purple Burrito.

Downtown location now accepts cards! I believe the Seminole location is still cash only with an ATM inside.
