Can you think of ten?

I'll start with Klutho Dog Park

[Springfielder]

Three Layers

(although I could probably fill in the other 8, but I'll just put 1)

[CS Foltz]

How about the newly refurbished and reconfigured, tax dollar paid for, Main Street!

[Debbie Thompson]

That is a good one, CS. BTW...it's tax dollars that pay for ALL the streets, not just Main Street. :-)

I will add the Community Garden - it is full of gardeners and we have a waiting list and are exploring an option with the city to expand it onto a city lot

Fusion, I made my first trip last weekend and it was great. Other than our table (with a revolving door of local residents, everyone else was from outside of Springfield!

Uptown Market

Waffas

City Kidz

[CS Foltz]

Debbie ..........no offense, but tax dollars do not pay for my road! Private road not part of the City maintenance or anything! Trying to get something done down here and was involved in a traffic count for a two hr window.....had 194 vehicles pass through my world in that two hours.....none lived here! That was 0700 to 0900 in the AM by the way...........all heading for Bay Meadows! By the way, my world pays for all road maintenance!

Guess you should have thought about that before buying there. Always do your due diligence right?

Springfield Superette.  No eggs like those eggs.

[CS Foltz]

Hypocite.............did not buy this place for me! Orignally bought for my daughter and son-in-law but I ended up here due to circumstances beyound my control...........no biggie, worth it for the piece and quiet for sure!

so you're saying that around 3 cars pass by every minute...must be real hard to get in and out of your driveway!

[Ocklawaha]

TUFSU1 Do you mean cars per hour? or passengers per hour? or cars per direction per hour? or passengers per direction per hour? or perhaps car miles? or passenger miles? Remember friend 30,000 PPDPH is the magic number!
