Zayka and Nonna’s. I haven’t been to nonnas in probably 15 years though so take that with a grain of salt, but I remember it being kinda sophisticated and dim and they had a live guitarist

Wow, yes, a huge change that will take a lot of getting used to! Honestly, as someone who has lived with dogs in springfield and elsewhere, (and as an urban planner), I find the dog walking to be of relatively low quality within the city— it’s extremely car dependent with a lot of noise and poor pedestrian infrastructure. There are greenways, but they’re pretty boring in general and not practical to make a loop out of. There is a nice watershed park north of the city called Valley Water Mill which makes for a lovely little hike around a lake in woods, and as far as neighborhoods go Rountree as another person mentioned and Phelps Grove are great quiet places with good side walks.

Where are you coming from? What kind of settings do you like to walk the dog in?

Reply to What is the labor union situation in Springfield these days? by formiscontent

My dad was a UFCW meat man at Price Cutter until 2015 or so. It seems like in the end the situation wasn’t great and the Union wasn’t that supportive of him, maybe because their power had declined somehow… or maybe he was just an asshole… I don’t know what the landscape is looking like nowadays but I do know that within the last decade it was a Union operation.
