Springfield, MO. #10 Worst Place to Raise a Family
The 10 Worst Places to Raise a Family (from best to worst)
Springfield, Missouri Dayton, Ohio Corpus Christi, Texas Flint, Michigan (Country's highest violent-crime rate) Columbia, South Carolina Waco, Texas Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Fayetteville, North Carolina Beaumont, Texas (Long-standing air-quality challenges) Clarksville, Tennessee (Low educational spending: $6,729 per student) http://www.bestlifeonline.com/cms/pu...a_Family.shtml I was born and raised in Springfield, raised my own children there until last summer, and I think its a decent place to live/raise a family. Im sure there are way more than 10 cities in the US worse than Springfield for raising your family. I know there are several Springfieldians here, what are your thoughts? |

I wonder where the 10 worst places to grow watermelons are?
I'll bet Iceland is one. FAX |

Parking lots in general are bad places. Does it have to be a specific location?

In that case, you'd have to add, "Inside another watermelon".

I'm no farmer but I'd bet that subterranean caverns are bad places to grow watermelons. Probably also one of the 10 worst places to raise a family, maybe worse than Springfield. Sightless worms like them, though. The caverns that is, not the watermelons.

You may be right, Mr. RJ. However, so far as modern science is aware, watermelons are sightless, also. At least, I hope they are. I would hate to hear a late-night noise at the window, look outside, and realize that I'm being spied upon by a bunch of nosy-ass, freak watermelons who found a ladder and a pair of binoculars somewhere.

That would be enough to make me want to move to a gated community.

I think the more advanced seedless melons would be the ruling party, fueling a simmering resentment within the more numerous but subjugated seeded class. Having seeds would be an obvious advantage in terms of reproduction and eventually a revolution would occur. I could be wrong, of course. |

I think you're right, Mr. RJ.
My feeling is that the seedless would eventually revolt and demand the redistribution of seeds. The ensuing power struggle would ultimately lead to chaos, anarchy, and eventual meloncholy. FAX |

Pshawaldefall, Mr. Skip Towne. I know my melonology.
Who sang "Brand New Key" and "Look What They've Done To My Song, Ma."? ... Melonie. What is skin pigment called? ... Melonin. What is abnormally dark tarry feces containing blood (usually from gastrointestinal bleeding)? ... I don't know and I don't care. FAX |

Born and raised in Springfield. I've been a north sider and south sider. But since I've traveled thew world and the USA I noticed that the nickname "Belt buckle of the bible belt" is very adapt at describing the place. Not everyone obviously but there are way too many bible thumping hypocrites in that town for my taste. Too many rednecks and intolerant people. The cost of living is the same as KC but I'm getting $40K more per year to do my job than in Springfield. My mom and brother, cousins, uncles, aunts etc stil live in Springfield but myself liveing in Springfield.....Nada chance.

My friend lives in Springfield in a pretty nice one bedroom apartment and pays $225. A chick I'm dating lives in a similar one bedroom apartment in Overland Park for $800. I do enjoy their strip clubs though. But then again, strip clubs are supposed to be dirty.
