Golden Corral is now open!

Plates from three different diners at the Golden Corral opening night.

The lettuce varieties looked gorgeous.
Best I've seen in Springfield. (see top photo)

I'd like to see more salad dressing options.
Perhaps a honey mustard, honey lime and a smoky tomato ranch.
Would also like to see chickpeas available.

Some sort of entree featuring tofu would be nice too.

I'm surprised they don't have a "build your own horseshoe" area.

I like that they have steak and chicken on the salad bar.
Of course, I'd love to see some falafal, hummus and tofu there too someday.

Maisenbacher house getting ready to move

Above: I traveled North along the alley behind the Maisenbacher House and noticed that a lot of land has already been cleared on this block.

Below: View of 7th Street by the Springfield Clinic.
The Maisenbacher House is almost a block South of here.

Maisenbacher House move set to start

Quote from article:

Preparations are under way to move the Lincoln-era Maisenbacher House five blocks north to its new home on Sunday.

The 19th-century building will be taken from its current location at 1028 S. Seventh St. to 503 S. Seventh St., where an old structure deemed not worthy of saving, the Lewis House, was demolished last week to make way.

On Tuesday, crews started putting 64 wheels — some motorized, some not — under the 300-ton Maisenbacher House.

Bible Across America project visits Springfield

Bible Across America @ Family Christian Store

Wed Nov 12, 2008

1.00 - 7.00 pm

Quote from:

www.bibleacrossamerica.com/home.php

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the New International Version
(NIV) of the Bible, the best-selling translation with more than 300
million copies in print, Zondervan has launched Bible Across America,
a cross-country RV tour. Bible Across America features an RV, piloted
by a four-person team, that is traveling across the continental United
States, making stops at churches, universities, retail stores and
special events where people are invited to contribute a verse to
complete a handwritten Bible America's NIV.

Family Christian Store
(between Target and Walmart on the west side of Spfld)

Springfield email list post regarding this event.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/springfieldillinois/message/2644

Adults and children participated in this project.

I imagine that the kids may have had better handwriting, since they work on it more often in school.

The verse you were given to write out (twice) was the next one from the previous writer.
So you couldn't just request John 11:35.

When I was there they were working on two different chapters, Judges 16 and Deuteronomy 29.

My handwriting is pretty bad, so I'm not posting a photo of my verse.

If I had been asked what I would like to write out, my answer would probably be something from Philippians.

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.

Above: a message on their bus.
