      I LOVE OUR HOME! I LOVE SPRINGFIELD AND WEST SPRINGFIELD! We are the real Capitol of America! George Washington often visited west springfield and springfield! SPEINGFIELD was the weapons depot for the civil war! We created the springfield rifle, basketball, volleyball (Holyoke), and TONS of trends and lingo that are used in other states!

      It pisses me off when I see a PA license plate and their motto is "the birth place of America." That's a lie. Massachusetts is the true birth place of America. Springfield is also the very first city in America named Springfield. Every other city by that name came later. I love my city and am damn proud to be from Springfield, MA

    Springfield is actually getting better or at least trying, granted there's tons of dirtbags still. Regardless, the new courthouse, updated civic center, renovated train station, new casino, new additions to Bay State Medical, new CRRC train facility and quality colleges are all big pluses and moves in the right direction. I honestly think that if a high speed train was put in it would really boost and grow everything similarly to what happened in Brooklyn, NY. Places like Boston and NYC are so overpriced and overcrowded it's disgusting. The only thing that makes sense is go outward for homes and better living conditions, but most that work in those cities can't or don't want to deal with the commute. Imagine a high speed train that would get people from Western Mass to Boston in 30 minutes?
