I would double check if I were you. I don’t live in city limits, just county BUT we are still in the Springfield School district. So I can’t vote in other city elections but I can for school board.

Not for most of the jobs. There are some more specialized ones that would prefer certain experience, but I’m sure with your work experience you could find something.

Drury is free after 1 year for employees. Your dependents are I think 50% off after one year, then 75% at 2, and 100% at 3 years. It works for undergrad and graduate/certificate courses.

Drury has lots of openings. Pay depends on the positions, but the benefits are pretty good.

I think Drury played it smart. Call the late start and then you have to time to really assess. I agree we probably could’ve come in last week, but they made the right call today. I’m not sure I could’ve gotten out my drive, and almost certainly couldn’t get back in now. I’m just glad they didn’t call it off any later than they did, I was walking to my car when I got the text.

Main roads are just wet. Some of the side roads are slushy so when I had to make a sharp turn I fish tailed slightly. But really it’s not bad.

I would just say (as a former student there) don’t trust the fact that you haven’t heard anything to mean it’s not happening. I was bullied relentlessly and my parents were never informed. When I told teachers and admin I was gonna tell my parents what really happened, they PANICKED and made me meet with every counselor the school had and the VP to convince me it wasn’t that bad and that they would “handle it.” I missed hours of class cuz I was crying and they wouldn’t let me leave. I had a teacher tell me that I was a “skinny bitch who was gonna die young”

ETA: that teacher retired but to this day has faced no consequences and the rich kids and admin still swear she was the best teacher to grace their halls.

A lot of straight up abuse from students AND teachers went unnoticed or worse, they just didn’t care. It all depends on who your parents are. I got physically beat by classmates when I told them I was going to change schools the next year; and the administration didn’t want me to tell my parents.

I’ll just say as a previous Greenwood kid it’s not good. It’s supposed to be advanced and leading edge but it is really not. Also the culture is toxic af. If you’re not a high brow socialite family you’re screwed. People send their kids there for the status. Kids would pay older kids $20 to push their “enemies” off the playground. And that was like 3rd grade.

Honey and hive! I can’t remember who does extensions but if you tell them what you want they will pair you with the stylist who best fits you.

I had my sweet 16 there… I loved that theatre. I went to all my midnight premieres there. I had numerous dates there and had friends who worked there in HS. I also found lots of knives there lol. It never recovered from the pandemic though. I hope it can stay a theatre and maybe someone else can take it over and do a little more with it. I’m sad I didn’t get to see one last movie to say goodbye.

I must admit I haven’t had the pork yet, just shrimp, beef, and chicken.

If you are just wanting meat and noodles (little to no veggies) the New Oriental on Chestnut is my absolute favorite. I wish it had more veggies but the flavor makes it worth getting anyway. The dinner portion is a whole to-go box filled, so I get like 3 meals each time.

As someone who lives near here, yea. I hate when the screen is a massive face smiling down on the highway… also most of us around here didn’t really want it but the owners were “told by God to build it there” so ya know that kinda adds to it.

Bless you! I work near there and had NO idea they had a drive through.

I highly recommend NOT eating at CreAsian. If you look up their health inspections it’s always horrible. I honestly don’t know how they haven’t been shut down.

My favorite general chicken is China Star on republic road by Harter House.

I haven’t personally had it because of food allergies. BUT I have lots of friends and family members that love Asian King Buffet on S Glenstone.

I think this place seems to vary a lot more than some of the other more popular coffee shops. I’ve been here a few times and it’s almost exactly a 50/50 split on if it was delicious or I felt like I wasted my money.

I’ve honestly never discussed pay with them. But they also haven’t complained about it so not the worst? Sorry that’s not super helpful. As for hours I know one is full time, but the other works part time so she can be home with her kids more and it works for her a lot better than some of her previous jobs. I know that’s not the most helpful, sorry. My advice would be to apply and see. Nothing really to lose and you can always say no if it doesn’t seem like what you’re looking for. They should be pretty upfront about all those things if you ask.

I have two friends who currently work there and they love it. One is a manager I think?

I tried Black Lab Coffee for the first time (over across from Sequiota park) and it was fantastic!

What’s really scary is how effective it is around here.

I’m not 100% convinced it will. There’s been a huge push that passing 3 will push CRT in our school soooo….

Same owner as Hot Cluckers, personally I wouldn’t go there. Not to mention it’s a terrible restaurant with poor service and worse food.
