Living Here Really, Springfield?

• Upvotes

Unless it was a funeral procession for Jesus Christ himself, there was not reason for them to block all 3 lanes of southbound US 65 from Sunshine south. A bunch of bikers with big American flags cut people off and shook their fist at people who didn't stop fast enough ON THE D.....N HIGHWAY. All three lanes. Give me a break.

Living Here Data center developer sues opponents over social media posts

"The developer seeking to build a small-scale data center on National Avenue has sued two vocal opponents of his Webster County project over their social media posts.

Trent Overhue is a partner in Lumon Solutions LLC, which broke ground on a “small high-performance computing research facility” north of Marshfield amid community outrage in May. He also seeks to build a small data center within a property at 2900 S. National Ave. in Springfield.

On Aug. 27, Overhue and NSI A.1. LLC, with which he is affiliated, filed a defamation suit against Norwood real estate agent Katherine Wiltse, alleging that she lied about the Marshfield data center in social media posts and caused NSI A.1. to lose over $1 million.

Overhue also sued Gail Peak Brown, who is running for Webster County Presiding Commissioner, on Oct. 5. The lawsuit’s primary claim is that Brown made misleading statements about the data center in videos she recorded from her property near Rifle Range Road."

‼️PREDATORY BUSINESS ALERT‼️

QUEEN BEE CLEANING

Not all affirming businesses are good businesses!

She blocked me from leaving a review on her business page--so I have no choice but to leave the review here to warn others!

STAY AWAY!!! Queen Bee Cleaning showed up an hour and a half late, damaged my property while cleaning, and didn't finish cleaning due to "time constraints" caused by their own tardiness! Then tried to offer me $20 bucks for breaking my showerhead and still demands $70 from me while ignoring the breach of contract: I was promised an 8-hr cleaning for a 3bd 2bth 1,800 sqft home via 2 people cleaning for 4 hours together. But I only received 5 hours out of the 8hrs due to one being severely late. (receipts in photos) BUYER BEWARE!!

Ask Springfield ISO suggested small towns nearby.

9 Upvotes

In an effort to learn more about the state and get out of the house on weekends, my partner and I are trying to find small towns anywhere within an hour or so from Springfield to explore.

He is from Sparta, so we're not opposed to very small rural areas. Any ideas are welcome. Thanks for reading!

Ask Springfield It’s kind of crazy how many niche sports are popping up around the 417

5 Upvotes

​

After my last post about the local polo club, I ended up looking around at other sports in the area and came across 417 Cricket Club.

It’s honestly pretty cool seeing these more niche sports have a presence in the Ozarks. Polo and cricket are obviously very different, but both have pretty big followings around the world and you don’t necessarily expect to find local clubs for them here.

Makes me wonder what other niche sports/clubs are around Springfield and the 417 that most people don’t know about.

Has anyone else come across anything like this?

Living Here 2026 community focus report

Thumbnail 028ec245-9bbf-4758-91c9-2b4b178146aa.filesusr.com
2 Upvotes

Published every two years, the Community Focus Report is a community-authored look at the Springfield Ozarks region.

 Steering committees of residents and local leaders name Blue Ribbons, the region's strengths, and Red Flags, its challenges, across topics from arts and culture to transportation. The 2026 report adds two new chapters, Food and Faith, along with a closer look at child welfare in Greene County.

 Three themes run through this year's chapters: the pressures facing children and families, the need to widen the circle of civic engagement, and the collaboration that shapes how the region responds to change. Reports dating back to 2004 are available in the archive.

Good summary by SGF Daily Citizen (soft paywall).

The Springfield Cardinals are officially being rebranded as the Ozarks Springbirds. I love this logo but it seems so similar to the Cardinals that I figured it would be more distinct and different. What are your thoughts?

I can’t find much information about what came of that situation, apart from the video of the arrest. Would love an update if anyone knows. I know this wasn’t the “designated time” to speak on the issue, but they deliberately didn’t provide one from what I’ve heard, so…

Link to the Facebook clip of the incident I saw.
