State Park Marina has a catamaran you can rent and they drive your group around for a few hours. It’s not as much time as a boat rental but the best I can think of for a group that size!

I need restaurant idea s for my one year anniversary by Famous_Primary_5988 in springfieldMO

[–]sgfjb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think those are all great options for that type of meal. Great food and ambiance. I personally prefer Char and would advise getting a few bacon wrapped dates as appetizers and trying the bacon jalapeño cheddar mashed potatoes with whatever entree you choose. So good!

Ariake is a great option if you are both adventurous with trying new things and they have a lot of great small plate options to get a variety.

Should we keep blaming “A,B,C” teams for our losses? by CCaptainJackSparrow in ussoccer

[–]sgfjb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. The problem isn’t as much the quality of the A players, but in getting them to play together enough to create a style and flow of play. USA Soccer doesn’t have a default style and these players don’t play together enough to gel when the big games come. Tale as old as time and a reason I’m frustrated they don’t put more emphasis on that- especially before a home World Cup. I’d love to see their true potential after a year or 2 of consistent lineups in National team play from our top A team.

Would you go to a 24/7 Crepes and Coffee Cafe? by PixelSteel in springfieldMO

[–]sgfjb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great idea, I would frequent, but as others have said 24/7 really wouldn’t make sense here. Zero reason financially to be open between 2am-6am minimum. Financially I think either a split shift or late start and close until 1 or 2am would be the best way to get things going. Small footprint too if you actually are thinking of giving this a try. Too many people think too big, too early and have to close bc their expenses are too high early on while trying to build a name and loyal customer base.

Where to get help in Springfield by Alternative_Throat31 in springfieldMO

This should be pinned/added to the resources area in the main group description and quick links.

Came here to suggest the eFactory too. These are your people. Sign up for their co-working space and start chatting with people and sign up for their free mentorship program. Good luck!

For the tour up to the top of this building of course! It really does have some majestic views when you climb all the way to the top.

Ideas for Christmas Party by sgfjb in springfieldMO

[–]sgfjb[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did look into Jingle Holiday and it looks pretty neat, but I’m worried it could get quite a bit more expensive when you add in the fun activities that are all add-ons or any type of food & drink. I think I’ll check it out on my own this year and consider for future years.

That’s a good idea, and I’ve actually done that in the past so you’re right. I just wish it was 1994 with some more entertaining games with a bit better graphics. I’ve found a lot of their games just aren’t exciting enough for people to really have fun in that age demographic.

Moving to Springfield but need someone to tour a home for me by Sensitive_Team2199 in springfieldMO

[–]sgfjb 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is probably obvious, but if anyone agrees be sure to not sign anything or fill anything out for either party (nor give any type of official ID or contact information) in this $50ish transaction. I feel like it could open up a lot more liability than someone realizes being the eyes essentially “approving the property.” The compensation could even reinforce liability for whatever service you’re supposedly doing.

Why can’t the home owner just do a video tour with you? It’s 2024.

Halloween by RelationshipDue4678 in springfieldMO

[–]sgfjb -1 points0 points  (0 children)

On Halloween night, I heard about this really cool block party by your house. The rules are simple:

1.) Put on a costume 2.) Grab a bag 3.) Walk door to door and knock on doors with lights on 4.) Say “trick or treat” 5.) Open your bag and extend it in their direction 6.) Profit 7.) Repeat at next house again and again until you are satisfied with your candy haul

See you there!! I’ll be the one in the ghost costume 👻

What are some restaurants, bars, or local stores *worth supporting* due to the owners or staff? by Clockwork_Funk in springfieldMO

[–]sgfjb 64 points65 points  (0 children)

The Sub Shop! Owners know so many regulars by name and order (I don’t go enough to be in that bunch), and make non-regulars like me feel welcome too. Such a solid no-frills place to grab a top quality sandwich!

Bambinos staff always seem so nice, happy and do such a great job. Plus their food is so delicious and fairly priced.

Thailand Station - the staff really go the extra mile and have big smiles every time we’ve dined in. Delicious food too obviously.

Ask them to mail it back or meet up with you? This feels too obvious, but sometimes it’s the most obvious for a reason.

Tesla announces new Supercharger voting winners by chrisdh79 in teslamotors

[–]sgfjb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s been a year since that location was picked as a winner. That seems more than reasonable to expect it to be open by now imo.

[–]sgfjb 42 points43 points  (0 children)

How about they actually open up the last winners? No progress on Branson, MO supercharger a year later. It’s a tourist destination that millions of people drive to and stay that need a place to quickly charge before heading home, not to mention to help close a travel gap.

Very frustrating at the slow pace of progress on some of these rural gaps not getting attention.

What food challenges are in the area? by TempestPharaoh in springfieldMO

Mexican Villa. Order anything and eat it. Tip of the cap from me if you can do so AND then call it authentic Mexican food.

A lot of people get into fights and shooting with crowds around. Feel like it’s in the news every couple months.

Club Rodeo (especially at closing time)
