I was at that show and they sounded pretty good, I also got to see them earlier this year and the sound was horrible. I would be hesitant to pay ticket prices these days for a mediocre sound mix (I think the sound issues were all mix related). Also, seems to be more turmoil with the band recently… might be missing more original members. On the other hand, Toto sounds amazing and might be with the price.

Coffee ethic is really good, Copper Canyon Is also excellent, and Full Octave is great... I have met the owner who is really nice. I buy from all of them.

The old owner didn't want you to use creamer, so they didn't offer it. Was my favorite thing to get coffee and go straight to my car and load it up with half n half in full view, defiant and brave... Felt so alive.

90 might have been generous…. McDonalds, cheddars, Applebees, subway, meh meh meh. Chains account for at least 8 out of ten In this town…. How many Chinese places do we have that are just ok? How many cheap taco night Mexican places? We are bloated with mediocre crap here. Maria’s downtown just closed, chameleons brick front looks closed, how many dominoes are there compared to 3 or 4 decent pizza places? We have too many crap places and not nearly enough good local ones. Edit: was salty last night, have a better one and enjoy springtowns offerings. Cheers

90 percent of Springfields eateries are chains or junk... whats left is a toss up of pricey spots or local favorites, and those come down to opinion on if you like that place or style or not. Ive seen Skullys mentioned a few times in here and Cafe Cusco... and I know plenty of people that like those, Im not a fan... but they are worth a try to see what you think. Caesar's Old Mexico is one my favorites... (but SHHHH a secret... I also like Mexican Villa about once a year because I grew up here and like a few things they make and I know its not real Mexican), the Dug Outs twilight burger and fries are a great dive bar indulgence, Bambu's pho broth is on the top of my list... not as sweet as some of the other places broth and the interior is just ok. Caspers, Georges, Taylors... something I love at all these old school joints. I couldn't stay away from the Wheelhouse for a while... love it, really miss the breakfast burritos from their food truck on St. Louis. Im going to miss having the Neighbors Mill on Sunshine. I don't agree with half the burger or pizza opinions on here... so I wont go there. Just remember that old school Springfield people know that Mexican Villa isn't real Mexican and cashew chicken isn't real Chinese... we like them for a different reason and both have a cool history and place here.

I’m not wrong. You are. Comparing Mexican Villa and Cusco? Or comparing it to any of the somewhat traditional Mexican restaurants is just trolling. Not even the same thing. No one from Springfield goes to MV for “traditional” Mexican food. It’s Springfield style Mexican like cashew chicken is Springfield style Chinese. Just stop.
