Illinois State Capitol Building: ground was broken for the new capitol on March 11, 1868, and the building was completed in 1888.
When the small line of Lego Simpsons was first announced, I just knew I'd end up building the city. I love building layouts, and with already having built New New York from Futurama, Springfield seemed an obvious choice for my next project. Plus, this time I wouldn't have to create any custom figures. ;)
See the whole city at once in the video fly-by I made!

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. Major tourist attractions include multiple sites connected with Lincoln including his presidential library and museum, his home, and his 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 Illinois State Capitol, located in Springfield, Illinois, houses the legislative and executive branches of the government of the U.S. state of Illinois. The current building is the sixth to serve as the capitol building since Illinois was admitted to the United States in 1818. Built in the architectural styles of the French Renaissance and Italianate, it was designed by Cochrane and Garnsey, an architecture and design firm based in Chicago. Ground was broken for the new capitol on March 11, 1868, and the building was completed twenty years later for a total cost of $4.5 million.
The building contains the chambers for the Illinois General Assembly, which is made up of the Illinois House of Representatives and the Illinois Senate. An office for the Governor of Illinois, additional offices, and committee rooms are also in the building. The capitol's footprint is cross-shaped, with four equal wings. Its tall central dome and tower roofs are covered in zinc to provide a silvery facade which does not weather. Architecture scholar Jean A. Follett describes it as a building that "is monumental in scale and rich in detail." The interior of the dome features a plaster frieze painted to resemble bronze, which illustrates scenes from Illinois history, and stained glass windows, including a stained glass replica of the state seal in the oculus of the dome.

Each year Springfield (Massachusetts) does a great fireworks display. We're pretty sure the lower spray you see here was a misfire, but certainly added to the show. Thanks for looking!
Springfield Mill in Sandiacre was built in 1888 as a lace factory for Terah Hooley, a wealthy local industrialist, by architect John Sheldon of Long Eaton. The total capacity of the factory was originally 160 machines. It has now been converted to apartments and is listed Grade II.
Connecticut might call this the Hartford Line now, but somehow I suspect the old name will not die quietly.

...at long last! I have landed upon a true Kmart store for the first time since 2013. It would seem unfortunate to have missed out on other stores which closed since then around, but I am glad to land upon this store operating as usual. The store was quite a sight to observe the usual trends of Kmart.
As they made their way to the Mid-Atlantic around then, I would believe this is an early-70s build. The store is in the Springfield Plaza, a long-standing shopping center featuring various stores including Giant and Trader Joe's. The Kmart store has received the usual interior/slight exterior changes since, and currently remains at the mid-2000s red/black interior with several later exceptions. I would say that this store was in a passable condition, nicely stocked and packed however felt like a maze with the high shelves and ceiling beams dividing the store. This location also appears to have not had a pharmacy.
Update (11/12/2019): As of late 2018, this Kmart has closed. It is now playing host to a relocation of a Giant store in the same center. www.bisnow.com/washington-dc/news/retail/giant-to-take-ov...

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!

The Old State Capitol State Historic Site, in Springfield, Illinois, is the fifth capitol building built for the U.S. state of Illinois. It was built in the Greek Revival style in 1837–1840, and served as the state house from 1840 to 1876. It is the site of candidacy announcements by Abraham Lincoln in 1858 and Barack Obama in 2007. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1961, primarily for its association with Lincoln and his political rival Stephen Douglas.
