Goodfellas Pub Bar • $
518 Bruns Ln, Springfield

“Someone said the comedy show was racist.. YET they used the term circus.. which is Diabolical and kinda racist… Do circuses not entertain… As a black woman I am A LOT of things… loving… caring… unprotected AND educated… ABSOLUTELY AND UNAPOLOGETICALLY… racist Not even a lil!!!

Racism was at the core of North American slavery and the colonization and empire-building activities of western Europeans.
The notion of biological race has been recognized as a cultural invention, entirely without scientific basis.
Racism involves one group having the power to carry out systematic discrimination through the institutional policies and practices of the society.“

Mac's Lounge Bar •
1231 E Cook St, Springfield

“Hi, Greetings to owners of Mac’s Lounge. This is the daughter of the man that previously owned 13th and Cook. It was my father Leo B Saner who owned ‘Saner’s tavern’ and his father before him. I have so many fond memories of my dad’s tavern. We lived locally on S. 14th street and his brother and his family lived in the house that was connected and accessible from the tavern. I’m so happy to see that it still exists and I think it’s really neat what you have done with it. I live in Washington state but come there to visit friends and family that still live there. If and when I visit, I’d love to come and enjoy your reinvented and updated cool venue for your community to enjoy. I’d love to hear from you if you’d like. Best wishes, Tina (Saner) Symon.“
