For some reason i thought I'd be protected if something were to happen. Last week, a man was wrongfully let in to the building and was breaking down my neighbors door and she screamed on the top of her lungs for the person to stop. My whole apt was shaking because i'm next door. I called the Springfield police 2 times and they said theyre on their way. Nope. Never came. I stayed awake until 4am on the lookout to see if i could see a face, clutching a bottle of gin ready to do some blunt force damage. What is puzzling is that he was breaking down the door and then presumably got in and then: silence. No confrontation of any kind which leads me to believe the worst. The next day, I called the police dept and they were closed because, duh, its a saturday! Nothing ever happens on saturday when crazies get drunk at all hours of the day! I called 911 and they said "yesterdays emergency is no longer todays emergency." It sure as hell IS when NO ONE responded yesterday! I called the district attorney who's voicemail was full. I called the mayor at the city council and left a message. I hate springfield. Cannot wait to leave this god damn hell hole where no one is safe and cops are liars. This would never happen in Brooklyn. I'm in the forensic field and do respect the police profession but its gotta be said: There is nothing respectable about your precinct, you were cowards who left a woman possibly VERY hurt, and me to fend for myself all night after false promises of showing up.

It was nice to also have meter parking right outside the hall, and even more special evidence of a little wedding ceremony sprinkled across the front steps.

If you are suddenly going to decide to make Friday a half a day for yourselves: 1. LET PEOPLE KNOW. Post it on Google. 2. Have a DROP BOX so that people who are just going there (DURING THEIR LUNCH HOUR, no less) can have a place to leave documents. I took my lunch time, went there from WORK only to arrive to a CLOSED OFFICE at 12:15 pm. This is not acceptable. Several others arrived there as well and they too, were wondering why they were closed in the MIDDLE OF A BUSINESS DAY.

I was reading up on how it was built in 1912 in the Italian renaissance style, not that dissimilar to the Greco-Roman style with its ivory pillars. It's so beautiful, it felt like I was in a museum rather than a library. As I walked through the passageways, I wondered who had walked here back in those days? Men? Women? Were women even allowed inside places of learning back then? Once again, I dragged my brother along for use of his library card as I am only visiting during my mother's surgical recovery and checked out a few books. They do have a vast selection compared to other libraries I have seen. Including DVD's, music, even video games!!! Never thought I'd see that in a library. My library back home gives no such visual inspirations and has media but it's limited to just DVD's and music so I was very impressed with what I saw here. I asked about a particular author whose works I wanted to check out and while it wasn't at that location, I was told that it could be delivered, so great service there. If I lived here, I'd probably frequent this library all the time. The building being so extraordinary is just icing on the cake.

It is difficult to understand how a package can arrive at the facility in the morning and still be processing more than 24 hours later. Could this happen occasionally? Certainly. However, it should not be the standard operating experience. Unfortunately, the Springfield USPS Distribution Center is one of the primary reasons I rely on Amazon for many of my purchases. The repeated delays and lack of efficiency have significantly diminished my confidence in the postal service.

All the numbers you call nobody answers or you just get disconnected. Massive inefficient bloated Government agency. Total incompetence. No one gets held accountable. I've already refunded the buyer 107.00 of the item thats sitting in Springfield. I then file a claim to get refunded only to get denied 2x. I paid extra money for insurance. It clearly shows thru the tracking number its just sitting at the distribution center. Total disgrace
