Why do you love Springfield?

[PorchCats]

it is a bit like visiting Alice's rabbit hole.

Yes, it is!

...cats all over, people looking out for cats all over...

Yes, they do...  and not just the four-legged kind...

Late model mountains.... but the jukebox rocks!

Yes, it does!


Springfield is by far the most social neighborhood I have ever lived in, and a great number of passionate people call the neighborhood "home."  There is always something to do or be involved in, and always at your own discretion.  When searching for a place to land 3 years ago, a friend said "Either you GET Springfield, or you don't."  Most folks here "get it."

I gotta say it's the roosters, lol.

No but really...everything you guys have said and more.  It's the history of it all, and the promise that its future will one day be great again.

the historic homes, the community feeling, great neighbors, cookouts, beer and fun!

Even though I live in Riverside, I am a big Springfield supporter.  I don't sell as many properties there as I used to but when I'm there and get to hear Big Jim do his thing, its kinda neat.  Its a pretty cool throwback to when folks would walk home for lunch.  My grandmother owned a house at Phelps and Hubbard which was torn down long ago, but I like to imagine what it was like back in the day.

Oh, and one more thing, great people watching just like in my 'hood!
