    Hey Ruth and Tom. Just discovered your channel today. 2-16-22. While just looking at videos on TH-cam for Springfield Illinois. That’s my wife and I’s Hometown. Born and Raised. But moved to Texas in October 2020. I like all the shots you took in your video of Springfield. Brings back memories. We miss it there. The Restaurants, our family, but growing up there we seen everything there is to see. Ya know. But the main reason we moved away, simply, was the weather. We just couldn’t stand the winters anymore. But just wanted to say it’s cool to see a video on TH-cam highlighting Springfield. A lot of people down here have never even heard of it. So Thanks for putting one up! Down here there’s no Culver’s, Hardee’s, etc.. So there’s things we miss a lot there. Take Care.

      Oh cool! We kind of did the opposite haha - we lived in the Texas hill country for a little bit, but then moved to Springfield in 2017. We really enjoyed the hill country - TEXAS IS BEAUTIFUL. But thanks so much for your support! We think Springfield has so much more to offer than people give it credit for and it became a nice home for us. NO CULVER'S?? That's so sad.. guess you'll just have to supplement with Whataburger haha

I think when it was originally invented it was more of a classy dish - with homemade potato wedges, thinly sliced cuts of pork and sauce on the side. But now it's just the epitome of midwest bar food, and (if I'm being honest) I have yet to eat one that is truly delicious 😂😂

    I'm considering moving to Springfield from a suburb about 30 minutes out from Chicago. I decided to randomly look on Zillow and found some places that were 1-2 bedrooms for $600-$700 a month, something unheard of where I am. The lowest price around me is $1200 per month! So after seeing that I decided to do some research and found your video! It's super interesting to see all these cool places, I really hope I can move out there soon. I found out my job has a location in Springfield as well, so I'm really hoping to transfer! I got to go to see The Lincoln Museum and Lincoln's Tomb when I was in school for a field trip, it was so cool and I did rub Lincoln's nose haha. I hope to do it again sometime soon :)

    • @RuthandThomas

    I have never, EVER seen a horseshoe eaten like a legitimate sandwich. Haha, fork and knife for me!
