Lookup the Springfield Cobra Scare. It's a classic bit of Americana from right here.

Everyone vote Cobras please! It's a great name, a cool mascot, and a fun bit of history.

I got season tickets and voted Cobras, and I'm trying to get everyone to vote Cobras too!

Awesome! I'd love to see them expand into even more services!

What an a**hat.

I didn't know they did digging. That's awesome! I love that place.

You can get some cool fossils from a lot of the roadside bluffs along highway 65 and other highways that have been blasted open. But that's about all I can think of.

Bravo

Yeah that's a thing with Springfield. Expressways aren't, and the bypasses don't. Good thing though is that a speed limit of 40 means don't go too much over 55.

I've lived in Springfield for over 20 years, on both sides of town, and I totally agree. Every time I hear about crime and statistics I always wanna know if it's crimes against strangers or not. That's the most important thing to me, and in my experience it's actually worse on the south side.

I live in north Springfield after many years living in the south side, and I have seen less crime and problems here on the north side. That been said, I recognize the statistics, and can see more areas of concentrated problems on the north side. There are plenty of good and bad neighborhoods and streets in both sides, but it's the north side for me all the way.

With this kind of stuff you've gotta document document document, then lawyer up.
