I live in Springfield. Great job telling the "fun facts" of SGF I really like the mention og "Kearney st". I used to work at the airport on Kearney st . people would ll the time ask for directions to Kearney st and they would start their question off with " I was told to take Karny st out of the Airport can't it. I only seem to find Kerny(Kearney)! I'm SO lost!!!" lol
