Wednesday, January 09, 2008. Lindsay mural to be refurbished. The mural of Lindsay's painting, "The Wedding of the Rose and the Lotus," in Downtown Springfield is getting a new lease on life. The Vachel Lindsay Association, in partnership with Downtown Springfield, Inc, is replacing the faded mural with a brand new one. To passers-by on Fifth Street between Jefferson and Washington Streets, the mural will appear to have been restored but it actually is being replaced. Work will commence on February 1.

The life and times of journalist/poet/folksinger Job Conger of Springfield, Illinois. Carrying Water to the Kitchen. April 6, 2016 by Job Conger. Later this year, almost by accident, I discovered a significant water leak in the crawl space next to the laundry room where those pipes work great because a year after I moved in here, (1996, ’97) I had hired a plumber to replace the old ones. The bills from the utility company have begun to come down since a friend fixed that leak. HOORAY! Shorts in my Desk.
