THANK YOU FOR THIS POST...I thought it was just me seeing this! My husband and I have been stuck here and trying to get out for 12 years. It's been so hard to get out with the low paying jobs...it's like being trapped. Thankfully he is almost finished with his degree and we will get out of here soon. Everything you said is spot on. People are so aggressive and uneducated here. You are especially right about it not being safe as a pedestrian. My children and I were literally chased away from a park my drug dealers. Breaks my heart that it's not safe to take my boys on a walk :( No culture, dirty, boring, insane people. My own personal hell. If you have a heart and mind, this place will eat your soul. Springfield has a way of chewing people up and spitting them out, bringing out the worst in them.I've seen it happen countless times. There are so many con-men(predatory lenders, car dealers, landlords, employers, contractors, mechanics), it is inevitable that you will have financial problems due to low wages and people trying to scam you out of money all the time. Horrible place.
