Dodgy locals around the Bus Depot
In a nutshell
You can find activity and quiet here and it is an all around great place to live.
VISIT THE BASKETBALL HALL OF FAME
Rich62 Says: We are basketball fans, but did not have time to stop here. We hope that you can.
Pawtuxet Says: Unfortunately I do not have information on the Tech School except to say the large quadrangle is paired with the old Armory and can be found easily if you follow the travel signs.
Pawtuxet Says: Home of the Spriingfield rifle origins ... and a National Register site. Museum open and free.
Forest Park - created by Olmstead (Central Park)
JJ1988 Says: Springfield's Forest Park was created by Frederick Law Olmstead, famous for designing New York City's Central Park.Forest Park is one of the largest urban parks in America at 735-acres, and is arguably more beautiful than Central Park. (It is certainly more serene.)Forest...
The Quadrangle and Dr. Seuss National Memorial

L'Uva (Closed): Good food and Idine
cjg1 Says: L’Uva is one of those special finds. Billed as “Creative American” they have a wide range of options with each being better than the last. I had what I must say is the best lamb dish of my life. Appearing on the menu as Honey and Maple Basted Lamb it came with grilled...
Mandarin Wok: Great chinese food!

cjg1 Says: In Springfield you can buy gas for a good 23 to 25 cents cheaper than you can just down the road by Bradley in CT. And for us, coming from southern Westchester in NY, it was 52 cents per gallon cheaper.
cjg1 Says: It seems in the Main Street area at least that valet parking is big. They all have the same place they use from what I can tell as they all charge $4 for "lot fee" and then I threw in a couple more as a tip. Trust me, if going to Luva you should just do this. You'll come out...
aemilys Says: Pure decadence, aisles and aisles of fattening foods. Help yourself.
AlexisAgile Says: I go to school at a small private university there and it is the worst place I have ever lived!A lot of the stores and buildings are very old and brown and look like they haven't been updated for decades! The city is very dangerous and seems to be filled with homeless people...
Crime has fallen considerably in Springfield
JJ1988 Says: The reality of Springfield's "crime" is much less scary than than the city's (fading) reputation for it -- especially at the time of writing, 2011.In researching my trip to Springfield, I looked it up. It is true that in 2003, Springfield ranked as the 18th most dangerous...
Cab Drivers taking tourists for a ride
ChadSteve1975 Says: Beware of the late night cabbie from the bus depot.We arrived late at night into Springfield. In chating to the cabbie he could tell we weren't local. So he took us for a ride. a $20 ride in fact... The long way to the motel. Of course we couldn't confirm this until morning...
Packing Light for a Simple Overnight Escape
cjg1 Says: Most of our trips to SPringfield are just an overnight visit, so a small overnight bag or rollaboard will do. Dress according to the season. Shampoo, conditioner, lotion, hair gel, razor, shavingcream, deodorant, tooth brush and paste, contact lenses, lens solution and my...
Pawtuxet Says: We sometimes visit daily festivals or fairs at historic sites across New England. Sometimes the site is a brick ender building built in the 1600's. Chances are that if you find such a festival, you will find the costumed re-enactors who demonstrate early crafts for the...
Attractive and a lot to do (by a British student)
JJ1988 Says: Forest Park, designed by Frederick Law Olmstead (who designed NYC's Central Park.) It is 735-acres of urban serenity, sculptures, and hiking trails.Surrounding Forest Park is a beautiful neighborhood where the author Dr. Seuss grew up, Forest Park Heights. In my travels...
Spend the extra $20 on Accomodation
ChadSteve1975 Says: Spend an extra $20 on accomodation to get close to the Hall of Fame and you'll save yourself $30 on cab fares and get a better quality hotel to boot.
