Cups

Utensils (cooking)

pots and pans

NOTICE: The 417 Hub Discord Will Be Temporarily Locked Down

Hi Reddit!

First off, if you didn't know we have a local Discord server for the general 417 area code (link to the discord server in the Reddit's description or visit http://417Hub.com.

I'm an admin for the local Discord server and I wanted to give a heads up about a temporary stop of new users joining for about a week starting at 12 AM on 11/4. This is needed because of both a recent influx of rogue accounts joining and also heightened chances of more in the next few days. We'll be back to normal afterwards. I wanted to give the Reddit a heads up in case someone comes in here and wonders why the join link isn't working.

Also, in the event there is severe weather in the area during that time (Tornado warning or higher), we'll lift the lockdown in case anyone wants to join to get info on the storm. After the weather passes it will be locked down again. Also note that if someone does join during that time, they will need to wait at least 10 minutes before they can interact with the server.

Thanks!

Gym Recommendations

Apologies for what is most likely a repeat topic, but I’d like an up to date list of recommendations if you don’t mind.

So I moved back into town with my wife about three years ago and life has balanced out enough that I’m looking to get back to the gym. I used to live on the west side and went to planet fitness but moved away. I’m looking for a place that’s casual (not a gym rat by any stretch) and affordable somewhere near the Brentwood/central Springfield area.

Any recommendations?

ISO apartment that isn’t strict on credit

I am looking for an apartment 750 or lower. I’m having issues finding apartments due to my credit. I have a pretty good job so I can afford everything I just can’t find a place that will accept me. Do you all know of any that has units available? Duplexes are fine as well. Just no bugs lol

Woodworkers

Anyone in town that could give me a quote a project? I’m looking at something similar to this, with a few minor modifications. (The major modification id like is to be able to have a small tv/monitor mounted in the center with a piece of plexi over it. Maybe with the option for felt over that if I don’t need the screen at that time.) https://a.co/d/csnbbmM

Anyone else being de-housed by the new company that bought Page Crossing apartments?

As the title says. These apartments are notoriously horrible but they got bought out recently by a Florida based company Valiant. They are kicking everyone out and tearing them down to make luxury apartments. Its absolutely laughable. Im just curious who all else is suffering the corporate greed and put the word out that this company is atrocious. We were all told Thursday, as far as I know, and they are already gutting the building while we all still live here. They worked almost until 11 pm last night and started again this morning at 7am. Its insane. They were also tagging residents cars for towing (including ours) and apparently havent told the other buildings whats going on. This shouldnt be legal but this is how it is unfortunately. But yeah, just at least wanted to put the word out about this company.

Need good barber recommendations!

Hey y'all,

Just moved to the area (a month ago), from the North East. I saw some older barber threads and just wanted a newer one to see if things have changed. Any specific barber recommendations or shops would be great! Cost doesn't matter as long as the experience is good and the barber is good. I have medium long hair and am looking for someone that has experience with all kinds of hair as well as fades! Thank you so much in advance!!

Place to sell Pokémon?

I’ve got a bunch of cards, and some rare slabbed cards too that I have no idea how to properly price and I don’t wanna be scammed and I just wanna get them sold somewhere in town where maybe I could get an offer based on price? I just don’t understand Pokémon center cards, different editions that are the same as another card but not the same card??

Quick getaway suggestions

Gf (33F) and I (36F) are coming to town W-F this week for a quick birthday getaway. We're planning on going to the Wonders of Wildlife aquarium, but I'm not sure what else. We like arcades, antiquing, cute shops, ice cream/treats, art, movies, and any number of other things. Anything we shouldn't miss?

Is there any benefit to registering with a party in Missouri?

I’ve been registered to vote in MO with no party affiliation since I was 18, but recently I’ve been wondering if I should register with my party. But as far as I can tell from what I see online, there’s really no reason to since Missouri has open primaries. Are there any benefits to officially registering your party?

Voting locations

I noticed that Greene County has "central" voting locations. Does that mean anyone can vote there instead of going to their designated area? I just moved crossed town and I really don't want to have to drive 20+ minutes across town if I can go to msu

trying to move out of a nursing home. If anyone knows of Spring Valley you know why i am looking for a house to rent.

So i am currently residing at Spring Valley on Fremont. I need a two bedroom house that doesn't require the three of us renting make three times the rent. we make close to that once i get my job back and my ssa back on track. but right now money is tight and we have to furnish the place. and we don't have any money but in order for me to apply for and get this job i cannot be living here. and these jobs for the blind don't come too often. the house would be better if it were all ground level. and did not have steps to get in. I don't do well with steps on days i need to use my wheel chair. and dogs must be allowed pets in general. i need them for emotional support. we would love it if the rent were under seven hundred so we can afford the utilities. pm me if anyone knows anything. I have to get out of this place state has been here twice this month. they forget my meds. screw this.

Missouri State bears football extends winning streak to 7 games. Longest since going D1 in 1982. Perfect time to get hot as they are moving to CUSA next season.

Longest win streak I could find was 6 games in 1989.

The pretty crazy how quickly they are turning into a decent football program considering they went 1-10 in both 2015 & 2019.

Fun social things to get out of the college bubble?

I don't really enjoy college stuff like football games and frat parties but I'm not 21 yet so I can't just hang out in bars. I was wondering if anyone knows of anything fun or social to do outside of the college bubble here in Springfield. Down town seems pretty empty most the time so I'm just wondering where everyone's at :/

semi-social spaces?

I live and work alone, have wonderful friends but most are married or in serious relationships that occupy a lot of their time. Working on going places alone to be alone a little less, probably to read or work. I already frequent a few coffee shops, curious if anyone has other suggestions to throw in the mix. Thanks 🙂

Looking for Emmy Bullock. Help appreciated

I received an envelope from Ticketmaster today that's addressed to Emmy Bullock. It says "Void for Entry" above the name, but it sure feels like tickets. If you know them, will you please dm me; I would hate for someone to miss their show. Thanks in advance!
