  1. Well, that new town logo Springfield on the Dole rolled out has really done wonders to improve Springfield's image in the region as an "impoverished area".

    Hey, this could be our town draw. We can put up a sign in Exit 7 saying, "Stop Here, See The Impoverished". There are enough dumbasses out that will stop thinking we're the Amish or something.

  3. The facts are the facts people...this is an impoverished area. I dont think 1.5 years of a new logo is going to change that. I think what we need to do, is all sit at our computers and complain. Why don't we fire off negative comments on blogs and attack organizations that are are at least trying to move this town forward. This will be way more effective than actually doing something.

  4. Springfield got exactly what it bargained for. No zoning, a glut of low income housing, extreme taxes that drive working families away, a school that caters to social misfits, social services for every whim, a family center that hands out food to lazy bums and addicts, tax payer subsidized transit, a community college and adult tech center that insure perpetual unemployment benefits, and now a methadone clinic. Springfield rightfully deserves its reputation as a utopia for parasites.
    Ask yourself, why would any successful, working class family move here?

    1. Did I miss something? Is Turning Point a methadone clinic? Sorry if everybody knows this but me.

  5. Re: "I think what we need to do, is all sit at our computers and complain." Impoverished area = impoverished intellect.

  6. parasite infestation = demand for social services with accompanying taxes
    high taxes and social ills = no successful young people raising families here
    No young, ambitious/educated labor pool = job loss & no leverage to attract new business
    lack of high paying jobs = lack of prosperity
    lack of prosperity = lack of wealth
    lack of wealth = impoverished areas
    therefore, impoverished areas = parasite infestation

    1. You don't get out much, young people who have been to college and are succesful are in fact coming back and are part of many committees and organizations here in town. I graduated from college, came back here (completley my choice) for a very good job and I plan to stay here becasue it is a great area. The youth that graduated from Spfld high and went too college are coming back here, more and more each year and we all have incredible drive that may actually make the comments on this blog positive for a change.

    Only if they were liberal arts majors, content to be adult baby sitters for HCRS or packing rutabagas at Black River produce.
