Springfield encompasses 4 zip codes (22150, 22151, 22152, and 22153). It is over 28 square miles. I think the OP is mainly thinking about 22150, which is central Springfield. Central Springfield can look daunting and sprawling and old near the 495/395 interchange. It is full of post WWII housing. We should count our blessings that this area exists. We need all kinds of areas and people to make the DMV function. That housing still functions for people. People like to dismiss Lewis and Edison high schools, but quite honestly many people have gone on to pretty good lives after getting their starts there. Sometimes adversity will make you tough and give you the drive to succeed. I would not dismiss people just because they live or lived there. Ask me how I know. [/quote]

Honestly?

The board of supervisors need to find a way to update the zoning laws to eliminate that Paper Moon Strip Club and the other adult video store from central Springfield.

Neither of those places should be allowed to exist within walking distance of homes, apartment complexes, Lewis high school and multiple elementary schools.  Or if they won't fix the zoning issue that allows a strip club adjacent to schools and homes, they need to severely regulate and curtail the operating hours so it closes during normal daytime business hours.[/quote]

The closest elementary school is three miles from Papermoon. Lewis is about five miles. That's hardly adjacent. How far does it need to be? [/quote]

NP. What are you talking about? Lynbrook, Crestwood, and Garfield are all less than a mile from Papermoon.[/quote]

Yes.

It is a travesty that the board of supervisors allows a strip joint and huge adult video store so close to all those schools and family housing.

Do they not have respect for the poor immigrant families trying to raise their kids in a safe affordable area?

None of the board members would allow a strip joint to exist a few miles from their kids elementary school and high school.[/quote]
