Reply to comment by strangedange in Looking to move to Springfield - Some comparisons by strangedange

This is absolutely a po-dunk town, but with bigger city problems. It's not an escape from what you're living in.

We're the 3rd largest city in the state, after KC and St Louis. And with that, comes those same issues, just on a smaller scale.

I second this. I've lived all over the US, large city and small town and this is a good, concise way to say it.

Do you have a favorite place you've lived?

Oh lord... that's a tough one. If I had to again live in any of the previous places I've lived, I don't really know where I'd choose, but these came to mind: New Orleans came to mind first, followed by Portland, OR (but, ugh, not lately), Lancaster County Pennsylvania (rather similar to here, but, much better in my opinion), and Charlottesville, VA.

Perhaps start looking into Charlottesville, VA. It's a great little town.

Thanks! I looked at Springfield, OR, but I'm not sure it will be any different than here. I'll check out Charlottesville!
