Reminder: r/SpringfieldMO Meetup is TOMORROW (Saturday 5/23) at 5 PM!

Just a quick heads-up to bring this back to the top of the feed: the meetup is happening tomorrow. Look for the printed meetup sign (it matches the artwork in this post) to find the group.

The Logistics:

  • When: Saturday, May 23rd at 5:00 PM
  • Where: Mother’s Brewing Company (215 S Grant Ave entrance off Walnut through the chain link gate).
  • Weather Plan: It is definitely going to rain, so we are staying dry inside. Look for us in the main taproom. If our group gets big enough, we will migrate back into the Barrel Room.

Bonus Tomorrow: Mother's is also hosting a native plant sale at the same time, so you can grab some local flora while you're there.

The Vibe: Low-pressure, casual, and completely agenda-free. The only official item on the docket is to crowdsource the exact coordinates of the next mysterious boom generator (that's a joke).

Mother’s is family-friendly, username sharing is entirely optional, and the only real rule is to keep things cool and respectful. Drop a comment below if you think you’ll stop by so we can give the staff a rough heads-up on numbers. See you tomorrow!

r/SpringfieldMO Meetup - 5 PM on Saturday 5/23 at Mother's Brewing Company Back Yard

Hey folks, after kicking the idea around for a while, I figured it might be fun to do an actual r/springfieldmo meetup and see what happens.

So here goes.

We’ll be meeting up Saturday, May 23rd at 5:00 PM at the Back Yard at Mother’s Brewing Company (215 S Grant is the address but the backyard and taproom entrance are off Walnut).

Mother’s has a good outdoor setup, yard games, fire pits, plenty of space, and it feels like a pretty easy low-pressure place to hang out for a bit.

No agenda, no presentations, no weird networking exercises. Just a chance to meet some fellow Springfield redditors in real life, discuss the latest mysterious booms, complain about traffic on Glenstone, debate local food takes, and prove we are all actual humans.

Depending on turnout, there may also be a completely scientific tug-of-war to finally settle whether Mexican Villa is good or a crime against humanity. (That's a joke)

Feel free to come by for 10 minutes or stay the whole evening.

A couple quick notes:

  • Be cool
  • Don’t make things weird
  • Public meetup, respectful behavior expected
  • Username sharing is totally optional

If this goes well maybe we’ll make it a recurring thing.

If it goes poorly we'll never speak of it again.

Comment if you’re thinking about coming so I can warn Mother’s roughly how many redditors will be attempting to touch their grass at the same time.

Springfield, we hear you.

Loud vehicles have become a big quality-of-life frustration across our neighborhoods, especially late at night. We're launching a new “Hear Something, Say Something” campaign to help tackle the problem together.

If you catch a vehicle creating excessive noise in violation of City Code Sec. 78-116, you can now report it at HearSomethingSGF.com.

To be considered for review, your complaint submission must include:

• The date, time and location of the violation
• A video with clear audio of the excessive noise
• The complete license plate must be visible and legible

Your video gives SPD what it needs to take administrative action, including issuing a $100 civil penalty based on citizen-submitted evidence.

Chief Paul Williams said it best: “This campaign gives our community a direct role in holding vehicle owners accountable.”

Springfield deserves peaceful streets. Thank you for helping us keep our neighborhoods safe, calm, and livable for everyone.
