Citylife, what a crock.  Your fairly poisonous comments and vapid exaggerations from when you were a SPAR employee pepper this very thread.

Do you live in the neighborhood at present?

I've owned a home in the neighborhood for a year and a half.

I had a couple dozen apartments in Springfield, but I never lived in them. So answer the question. Do you live in Springfield?

I've lived in my home in Springfield for a year and a half. If you guys lived here you would probably know that.

I have lived here for the last 12 and didn't know that.

Actually reliable word has it you're from Orange Park and have a rental property in Springfield.

Furthermore, I know for a fact you didn't live here when I owned all my rentals and DeSpain & Company were trying to bankrupt me and calling Code Enforcement on me 10X a day, notwithstanding that the worst dumps in the neighborhood then, as now, are actually owned by the SPAR board members. I mean, it's one thing to be a dick, but at least avoid outright hypocrisy. And I was here then, you weren't, except as SPAR's receptionist, and I guess in your own mind answering phones qualifies you as an urban redevelopment expert?

So I'm not sure where you get off telling others who owned property here for a decade before you showed up that they have no right to comment, simply because they don't live where you didn't live either. It's ridiculous.

Anyway, I love how a SPAR employee is on here questioning the motives of people who don't like SPAR. If anyone has a conflict of interest in all this, it's clearly you, not us. I think everyone sees that. Seriously, a SPAR employee lecturing me on my lack of impartiality when I complain about SPAR? Seriously? Too funny.

So I'm not sure where you get off telling others who owned property here for a decade before you showed up that they have no right to comment, simply because they don't live you, where you didn't live there either, and only bought a property in Sprinfield a year ago. It's ridiculous.

Wow. Please tell me who that "reliable" person is so I can laugh in their face.

That is so wrong that I don't even have to defend it. Its pretty well known by several Springfield residents that I live in Springfield and have since December 2009. Ask FSUJax who has posted in this thread.

I grew up as a child in Mandarin, then OP, then Mandarin again. My mom bought a home in Avondale in 97 and I went between Avondale and Mandarin in high school. My wife and I also lived at the beach for several years after college and when I was in grad school in Tally. Anything else you want to know?

I'm actually not a SPAR employee and honestly am not thrilled with my experience there professionally. I was however, nowhere close to being a receptionist. Was Projects Manager when I left and was originally supposed to take Don Downing's job before things changed organizationally. I'm by no means a SPAR cheerleader, there are a few friends of mine in the neighborhood that can attest to that, but I'm also not one to harbor bitter feelings and resentment with me. Just not healthy in my opinion.

You are entitled to feel that way, so continue to do so if you like. But don't pretend like you know a damn thing about me, other than what is clearly false information.

Well you don't know what I look like or who I am. Stephen does and I assume ChrisUfGator does since he appears to have gotten false info about me.

so you were a receptionist?

Since you called there numerous times to try and talk to me you'd know that I wasn't.

Not sure how Projects Manager translates to receptionist, but sure misconstrue the truth.

Yep. Its why you won't find a lot of the positive Springfield info here.

MySpringfield is a lovely place. A few disagreements here and there, but by and large a much more positive place.

They needed to, it was too embarrassing for the rest of the city to listen to the drivel and acrimony! ;)

As witnessed today.  i made a simple self deprecating post about how wrong I had been about the former coven leader at SPAR and sure enough the former Assistant Stewardess from Spartanica Airlines immediately starts yapping about how mentally unbalanced I am...

Too funny! :D

I am offened by the term Spartanica Airlines... I work for an airline and am deeply hurt.  I say we blame FBC.
