We could traverse through the cheese caves.

For real. There are a million reasons a metro is not a cost-effective mass transit for Springfield. I wish we had a metro or hell even if the OLD trolley system was never removed.

I feel like long stretches along battlefield, sunshine, kansas exp, Glenstone, and National would be a great start. Those are the first roads I think of that have awful traffic at basically all hours

250 on campus students. They use athletes to keep it alive. Give them a “scholarship” that doesn’t equal cost of attendance, and then all the kids from the small towns in the area get to say they’re playing college sports

If it’s such a obvious simple solution please tell me where you would have it go and both primary and secondary stops.

I’ve lived places with great public transit and would love to have it here, but the layout around here doesn’t make a good argument for it. I should also add that I would happily pay more tax to make it happen. Public transit always looks easy from the outside and the bus system here isn’t really that bad, not great but alright.

I thought I heard something about a Korean cult buying the campus? Maybe I’m totally off-base bc it kinda sounds outlandish.

Howdy!

Yes

The Baptist bible college on Kearney is creepy and depressing!

Fixed that for you lol

International House of Prayer? xD

CBC is the one by the fairgrounds

100/m for symmetric 1Gbp is pretty freaking good consider the next best is Mediacom at 1000/100 at nearly the same price

Are you saying there's never been a gay person who's married the opposite sex? Or were they straight when they married their wife and now they're gay? And if that's the case, were they born gay? And if so, how would marrying a woman suddenly make the gay man straight? Or were you assuming someone was straight simply because they're married to the opposite sex? Do you know that marriage has nothing to do with sexual orientation?

I don't like his example because Martha being his wife has nothing to do with teachers teaching sexual orientation\gender... are they saying that gay people dont\haven't married someone of the opposite gender? Martha being his wife is a verifiable fact with legal documentation (marriage license). He's pretending the teacher is saying, "George Washington was straight, identified as a male, and married Martha because of that" (an assumption) when in reality all the teachers would be saying is, "George Washington was married to Martha" which is a historical fact. Pretending teachers couldn't teach something like who's married to who because that somehow implies sexual orientation is not a good faith argument and is obviously miles away from what this silly lady was intending with her silly bill, which appears to aim to keep that stuff out of the classroom.

But have you ever seen IHop in KC?

I thought the one at Grant and Norton was BBC? I thought CBC was the one that’s a few blocks over that I believe is still operational. I guess I’ve had their names confused this whole time lol

As someone who lives near by, its still very much in use, but imo definitely looks run down af. At least the bothered to fix the broken window in the small shed/chapel building in the back.

I wonder if they lease parts of it out. I know it stopped being a college a bit ago. At least I’m pretty sure. I would love to go inside the building with the spiral staircase. I always thought that was cool.

I think you're thinking of Central Bible College at Grant and Norton, and that did close a while back.

I think you're thinking of CBC on Norton. BBC on Kearney as far as I know is still operational. CBC is owned by Assemblies of God and they haven't been able to find a buyer. It's very much abandoned

Sure! Holler if ya want!

Is it abandoned? This may be a false memory, but several years ago it closed and I’d heard they were going to renovate it. But last time I drove by there, it looks exactly the same as when I went to Hillcrest in 2006 lol

I think it looks cool. Reminds me of a liminal sort of retro utilitarian pool vibe. I always imagine the smell of chlorine as I drive by
