I never thought I'd be paying under $2 a gallon for gas ever again, considering that gas prices this summer were more than double this amount. The highest amount I saw was for $4.49 a gallon for regular unleaded gasoline in southern Connecticut , followed by $4.45 a gallon in Vancouver, Washington. $4.25 or so was about highest average here in Albany, New York, and now the prices are under $2.30 in nearby Schenectady, NY. This photo was taken at the Pride gas station (local Springfield, MA brand) in Chicopee, Massachusetts. I don't normally take photos of gas station prices, but this time I was obliged.

I placed Springfield Falls near the beach and surrounded with a stream. The recent new items like the campfire and pond really complete this area for me. Created using AutoStitch Panorama on my iPhone.

This is a property in Springfield Road that my Great Grandparents once owned. Both my Great Grandmother and my Great Grandfather can be seen stood in the doorway of the 3-storey property. I think the bunting would've been to commemorate the coronation of King George VI in 1936. This could be right as I know my Great Grandparents lived in Meadowside during WW2 and the FOR SALE board can be seen clearly in the front garden behind the iron railings.
As a child I recall the property and the adjoining 2-storey property on the left and a later view of this house can be seen here:-

The Old State Capitol Building served as the capitol of the State of Illinois from 1839 until 1876. Abraham Lincoln spent a great deal of time here as a lawyer. Today it is a State Historic Site and the interior has been reconstructed to it's 1860 appearance.
Union Station was built in 1898 and was used primarily by the Illinois Central. It has been beautifully restored and re-opened as the Springfield Visitor Center in 2007.

It took three years, but Karen Mathis' predictions for Springfield retail relief have finally arrived in the form of a new Walgreens store at 8th and Davis. Seen here as just an empty lot, the Walgreens will be a welcome addition to the the neighborhood. I could see that placing being mobbed by snack starved Shandsies. What a great place, in walking distance, to get basics.

Springfield is the capital of the U.S. state of Illinois and the county seat and largest city of Sangamon County. The city's population was 116,250 at the 2010 U.S. Census, which makes it the state's sixth most-populous city, the second largest outside of the Chicago metropolitan area (after Rockford), and the largest in central Illinois. As of 2019, the city's population was estimated to have decreased to 114,230, with just over 211,700 residents living in the Springfield Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes Sangamon County and the adjacent Menard County.
Present-day Springfield was settled by European Americans in the late 1810s, around the time Illinois became a state. The most famous historic resident was Abraham Lincoln, who lived in Springfield from 1837 until 1861, when he went to the White House as President of the United States. Major tourist attractions include multiple sites connected with Lincoln including the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, Lincoln Home National Historic Site, Lincoln-Herndon Law Offices State Historic Site, and the Lincoln Tomb at Oak Ridge Cemetery.
The city lies in a valley and plain near the Sangamon River. Lake Springfield, a large artificial lake owned by the City Water, Light & Power company (CWLP), supplies the city with recreation and drinking water. Weather is fairly typical for middle latitude locations, with four distinct seasons, including, hot summers and cold winters. Spring and summer weather is like that of most midwestern cities; severe thunderstorms may occur. Tornadoes hit the Springfield area in 1957 and 2006.
The city has a mayor–council form of government and governs the Capital Township. The government of the state of Illinois is based in Springfield. State government institutions include the Illinois General Assembly, the Illinois Supreme Court and the Office of the Governor of Illinois. There are three public and three private high schools in Springfield. Public schools in Springfield are operated by District No. 186. Springfield's economy is dominated by government jobs, plus the related lobbyists and firms that deal with the state and county governments and justice system, and health care and medicine.

The concept came to life during an event that started September 2017, to help raise funds to benefit downtown revitalization. It’s a pop up art event in where you can watch artists compete to create a mural in one day and unveil it during a reception party that night. Each year the murals change, making this a great spot to visit and wander through and take pics or the amazing artwork!
