They had lunch at Cozy dog. When they parted ways, one went to St. Louis and one went to Chicago. Very rare. 📷 IKevin N12 Oct 2026 22:47 +0000at://did:plc:fkndd2o6273o7ejnjm2aq4en/app.bsky.feed.post/3mxplyjt7bk2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/mariecarnes.bsky.social/post/3mxopwckgxs2e"News flash, Ray!

Once a person got used to standing, sometimes sitting, on glass, it was comforting. I still have dreams about the building. 📷 Lincoln Library [contains quote post or other embedded content]10 Oct 2026 20:57 +0000at://did:plc:fkndd2o6273o7ejnjm2aq4en/app.bsky.feed.post/3mxkevx3jck2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/mariecarnes.bsky.social/post/3mxjdgamj6c2u"The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men." ~ Plato10 Oct 2026 10:58 +0000at://did:plc:fkndd2o6273o7ejnjm2aq4en/app.bsky.feed.post/3mxjdgamj6c2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/mariecarnes.bsky.social/post/3mxg76m52y22r"We all sang the songs of peace.

Rodney Davis was the same disgusting way. Then he got redistricted, which caused him to be primaried out by the even worse Mary Miller. Now, he's a DC lobbyist. Now, excuse me, please, while I go erase the memory. 😜 [contains quote post or other embedded content]07 Oct 2026 23:08 +0000at://did:plc:fkndd2o6273o7ejnjm2aq4en/app.bsky.feed.post/3mxd2sb5fnc2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/mariecarnes.bsky.social/post/3mxcck2kfw22jA recent listing for commercial real estate for the now closed Taqueria El Pollo, formerly Mr. Eggroll, at 635 W. Jefferson St. It is my belief this is possibly the only example of googie style architecture in Springfield. It also includes income property in the form of a billboard on a major road.07 Oct 2026 15:54 +0000at://did:plc:fkndd2o6273o7ejnjm2aq4en/app.bsky.feed.post/3mxcck2kfw22jhttps://bsky.app/profile/mariecarnes.bsky.social/post/3mxcadlciuk2j"Voof." ~ Inga.07 Oct 2026 15:14 +0000at://did:plc:fkndd2o6273o7ejnjm2aq4en/app.bsky.feed.post/3mxcadlciuk2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/mariecarnes.bsky.social/post/3mxaszj3vik2vEverything I know about Chester A.
