Springfield MO and surrounding area

I lived in Springfield, MO from the day I was born till 4 1/2 years ago. I spent 4 years in the army and maybe a year or two living out of state for one reason or another. My daughter lives in Aurora about 30 miles out side of SGF and she hates it. I moved to Seattle and have not looked back and she has the same plans. It will always be home but the best thing I ever did was leave that part of the country.
