The pit is dying 0.5 rating By TimR ( Apr 13, 2018) Springding is a dump. Real estate is cheap because the city has nothing to offer, there are few jobs unless you want to mop floors, pour coffee or wipe butts. There is lots of beer though! Apparently beer (along with meth) is the main economic engine of Springding. Realtors snap ...Read More up dumpy homes under $50K for flipping (houses that should be demolished) and make huge profits because the idiots in the city are too stupid to see they are cheaply done flips. The local fascist "news" paper censors everything not pro-Obama or pro-demoncrat. Read Less

What a dump 0.5 rating By AJ Silver ( Jun 02, 2016) This town wins the gold star for dump city USA. If you like bars and drugs you will looove Springding!Apparently, half of the populace of Springding has a double digit IQ, (thank God for Mississippi), while the other half are a#@holes.

This city is a PIT. Stay away. 0.5 rating By Tim W ( Mar 14, 2016) This is one of THE worst cities in the U.S. It's full of meth addicts and pan handlers.

Going down hill fast, directly towards a construction zone. 2.5 rating By Fredricko ( Sep 30, 2015) Local colleges are easy and relatively cheap to free, but plan to keep your daughters safe. Lowlifes and bums are everywhere with meth psychos in the news daily. Central (including downtown) and north is a ghetto with criminal elements from St.louis and KC pouring in. All city pl ...Read More anners & leaders do is pour money into south side decades long highway and road construction that destroys business and property values of the best part of the city. Bass Pro's Wonders of Wildlife has been "under construction" for over TEN years for example! If you want to stay moderately safe you had better LOVE nonsensical road construction every where you go. If you can't get into any other colleges or you're a lifer construction worker, this towns for you! Cheap trailers and a thriving AA community. If you're a professional that has a choice, just cut to the chase and flee to Nixa or Rogersville. It will just take a little longer for the highway/road crazed powers that be to get to you.

Springfield, Missouri - It's a Heck of a Town! 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 06, 2010) I have lived in Springfield, MO for 20 years and find it to be a wonderful city. One of my favorite places to hang out in Springfield is Downtown. This is definitely the pub crawl district and whether you want to spend an evening with friends or meeting new people, you can do it ...Read More all here. One of my favorite clubs is the ICON Nightclub. It plays Top 40 music and has a good college and young professional crowd.

Sprinfield also has some great restaurants to choose from. My favorite restaurant downtown is Big Whiskeys. Their burgers are some of the best I've ever had. For those seeking live music in Springfield, you must check out the Outland Bar, which features the best bands in the city. In addition, nearly all of the bars and clubs are within walking distance, making it simple to barhop. While in town, make sure you try some of Springfield's special Chinese cashew chicken, which is undoubtably some of the best in the country!

Overall, Springfield is a great place to visit or live. Both ways you can enjoy the vibrant nighlife and take advantage of the low cost of living that Springfield offers. Read Less
