PW has Whip Solstice from Wednesday to Saturday this week. They won't open back up until spring.

Last I checked (full disclosure, 15 years ago), Springfield Public Schools has open enrollment. As long as you live within city limits, you can enroll your children in any school. There may be eligibility issues for the first year of high school activities, but if you change schools for academic reasons, it shouldn't be a problem.
Check with a few different families who currently have kids around the same age. Principals and administrations can change quickly, to the point where schools that were good 5 years ago are no longer great options and vice versa. Though, if you hear anything about Central or Parkview being 'druggie' schools, the people you're talking to may be out of touch.
Highland Springs is a gated Country Club, but Fremont Hills would be the non-exclusive equivalent.
Some of the many "must visit" places, whether they're considered touristy or not, include Bass Pro Shops (we've got the big one, since Johnny Morris is from here) and Andy's frozen custard. There's Branson and Table Rock Lake 30-50 min away (depending on traffic and how fast you drive). There's other stuff to do, as well, depending on the time of year and what you like to do.

We always called the "Messiah Mill" the Beer Tower. There was always a Budweiser billboard at the top.

A buick, pontiac or Oldsmobile with a 3800/3.8l v6 would be the mechanics choice, but a 4 cyl. Toyota or Honda would be simpler to work on

One of the more popular spots is Hawksbill Crag in Arkansas. You may be one of three to ten couples proposing there on any given day.
Are there any places special to either of you? Those might be good places to start.

And it's not even cold for around here yet. Here's a site that will show you average weather by month or season: https://weatherspark.com/s/10263/3/Average-Winter-Weather-in-Springfield-Missouri-United-States
These are averages, though, and there can be cold snaps.
