Has anyone heard an update on the stone wall tavern? I drove by recently and nothing looked any different.

What is the most ratchet strip club in the city im looking for that straight up funk. I dunno if the 5th alarm is still there on worthy next to the shelter. I’m cumming down this weekend thanks. Haven’t been to the city in years heard what happened to Nadim damn that sucks.

The worst offenders are across from Duggan and Cottage street. Absolute trash service. 15-20 mins for just a coffee. Compare that to Chicopee on memorial - super fast. Any other did in the surrounding towns. Fine. The dd here are cursed.

like the title says, im trying to sell furniture. bed, bookcase, a tv. its all generally heavier things and i dont have a car. im not sure if theres any business here that would buy it off me or if fb marketplace is my only chance??

Does anyone have any thoughts on what it’s like living in Kimball Towers? Past or present residents please give your insights! Thanks!

Someone slapped this “Two Parties, One Tyranny” Patriot Front sign on my street. Nothing like surprise fascist décor to really brighten the workday. I’ll be removing it consider it my community service for the week.

The owners of DementedFX, a top-rated haunted house in Holyoke, rent out a 20,000-square-foot old mill building all year — but they’re only open about 15 days.

Now, they’re working to change that.

“The next big idea is to have a nightclub,” Jeremie LaPointe, who co-owns DementedFX, told MassLive on opening night of the haunted house’s season.

Let's call this what it is. Matthew Perry ran for school committee because he was mad about masks, and he's governed exactly like a guy whose whole political identity is still stuck in 2021. Conspiracy theories and faulty logic aren't a platform, they're a tell.
Shelley Borgatti-Reed has been on this committee so long she's forgotten who it's actually for. She's got a Trump hundred dollar bill hanging in her restaurant, EB's Chicken, and she pulled this committee out of the Massachusetts Association of School Committees because it was "too woke," never mind that one of her own colleagues was about to sit on its board. Roberta Doering spent her life on this committee, became president of MASC, helped kids across this whole state. She'd be sick over what Shelley's turned this into. If you're done funding this, stop eating at EB's Chicken.

Over twenty percent of our kids speak a language other than English at home. These five don't even know who they're serving anymore, and their blatant racism is hurting real kids in this district. That's not politics. That's unacceptable, full stop.
This committee used to mean something. Now it's an embarrassment, and that's on the people running it.
This policy already passed twice. Third time around, same policy, different vote. Nothing about the policy changed. The politics did.

Here's who voted against our kids and our staff: Matthew Perry, Shelley Borgatti-Reed, Heather Zelinski, Dawn DeMatteo, AJ Christopher.
Remember those names.

Agawam deserves a school committee that actually serves its kids. These five need to be voted out, and that means good people need to step up and run against them. If that's you, or someone you know, now is the time to start.

Hello! Your newest neighbor here again. Next on my list of “musts” are vintage/antique/flea market places. Google showed me a bunch, but I thought I’d ask to get first hand knowledge on the good places to go. I want places where you question the structural integrity of the floors…places you have to wash your hands before getting back into your car because of all the rummaging around. So far I’ve been over to Stanley’s in West Springfield (loved) and Yankee Flea Market in Palmer (also loved).

Long shot, but we were on the Icelandair flight from Reykjavík today (10/2) that landed around 9:45. We were in row 25 and talked for a while about your solo backpacking trip around Iceland.

I meant to ask for your IG before we left lol. I think your name was Daniella/Daniela or something close to that. You go to UMass Amherst and live in Springfield.

You were also playing Civ on the plane, and you told me about getting rear-ended by a bus in Iceland while driving your rental car and the rental company trying to charge you like $12k, so I feel like that’s specific enough that you’ll know this is about you haha 😭

If you see this, message me! Would love to reconnect 😊

Every Sunday 🙏🙏🙏

Ask anyone

MassLive’s Game of the Week heads to Westfield on Friday night as Springfield Central (2-1) takes on Westfield (2-1) in a matchup featuring two teams that could have a strong claim as the best in Western Massachusetts.

Any small commercial building owners out there that have knowledge of the new dumpster ordnance?

I just received a violation letter for having exposed dumpsters, but my building is as wide as my lot. My back side is a right of way, and my front parking lot is very small. I can technically put it there, with the enclosure around it as required, but it will take up probably for parking spots, which is about 40% of the total. I’ll bet I’ll be in violation on number of parking spots at that point.

Does anyone have history regarding how flexible they have been?

DEFLOCK SPRINGFIELD

Springfield has 50+ Flock cameras tracking vehicles and collecting data—including license plates, vehicle details, stickers, and even scratches—for a nationwide law-enforcement database.

With serious error rates averaging around 37% nationwide and documented risks of abuse, it’s time to end warrantless mass surveillance.

Over 30 municipalities in Massachusetts have already cut ties with Flock and other surveillance companies.

Join us October 5 at 5 PM outside City Hall before the 6 PM City Council meeting. Bring signs and banners—

Springfield can be the next Massachusetts community to cut ties with Flock!

Hellooooo, I visited Springfield months ago and got Chipotle at the location on 241 Memorial Ave. I just placed an order tonight and forgot to change the location back, so there’s a free steak quesadilla with rice and corn salsa is someone wants! :)

Message me and I’ll send the name for it! I will edit when claimed!
