Wishing Justin Fields success, but I’m worried that he going to get plowed under due to the porous offensive line…

Ascend Cannabis extended their reach with a third Springfield west side location. Three shops for one company. Lines out the door for black market prices. Open up the market.

When I see the lines out the Cannabis shops for a $166 six gram container I wonder how much the street people would pay for a 200 ml bottle of Canadian Whiskey which retails for $3.99? I imagine they would pay $9.99.

My gym started to let people use the locker room again to store our belongings and change clothes. It is sort of life changing.

A bold move by the Bears to jump up to 11 to pick Justin Fields. Even though Ryan Pace’ last jump to pick a QB ended up as a disappointment this one feels right. Hoping the Bears have enough other pieces to be competitive.

For those of us in central Illinois, going to be a warm sunny weekend.

Fire up those tillers fill those planters with potting soil and flowers and get those tomato, peppers and egg plants in the ground and that sweet corn and lima beans sowed, it’s Go time.

How about the sox? another doubleheader winner, and YoYo is heating up

Comment by Gohawks123 Friday, Apr 30, 21 @ 9:50 am
They should arrange for all the Sox games to be double headers.

Great day for the Sox yesterday. Didn’t watch the games, but in highlights Cease had the hook working. Eloy who? Just kidding about Eloy (wishing him a speedy and full recovery), but we’re riding in style in a Mercedes.

What are the little things you see that tell you people’s attitudes about COVID near you have drastically changed since vaccines became widely available? The latest thing for me is all the garage sales. Feels like people are going nuts with them this spring.

hasmyaldermanbeenindicted should expand to stupidthingsmyaldermanhassaid. just because they have not been indicted does not mean they are fantastic. low bar.

How about that new $80.5 million dollar Central Computing Facility announcement for a Springfield location? All while CDB is finishing up a $16 million dollar renovation of the existing Central Computing Facility on Adams Street which they plan on abandoning.

Al - Friday, Apr 30, 21 @ 7:38 am:

The third dispensary in the Springfield area is not an Ascend dispensary. It is owned by Maribis LLC. They also own the dispensary in Grandview.

Just donated to Aaron’s mom’s funeral costs. The family is in my prayers. Hope we all can chip in.

There is mini civil war going on within the Madison County GOP. The Trump wing is ganging up on their Treasurer. He’s a RINO according to them.
