While many cities have a lackluster quality of life, Springfield is one of the exceptions. The population is very diverse, with ethnicities, races, and religions mixing side by side in the city. Among the famous residents are the Simpson family, Flanders family, Van Houten family, and Hibbert family. Not to mention, the town is home to the two guys from Kabul, Cookie Kwan, and Akira. Despite its small population, Springfield has a vast wealth gap between rich and poor citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re a snack and food lover, you&#8217;ll love the variety of delicious foods in Springfield. You can indulge in small batch chocolate at Askinosie Chocolate. The company uses cocoa beans from around the world to create dozens of unique flavors of chocolate bars. While shopping for gifts, don&#8217;t forget to check the hours of the businesses that offer holiday gift-giving items. You may find that the holiday rush is worth it in the end!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The city&#8217;s history is filled with fascinating historical sites. The Connecticut Valley Historical Society tells the stories of &#8220;The Great River&#8221; and its people. The Museum of Springfield History features innovations that helped make Springfield &#8220;The City of Progress&#8221; during the abolitionist period and the Industrial Revolution. There are even statues of Buddha and Ganesh in Kwik-E-Mart. And if you love a good show, Springfield has something for everyone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another fun event in the city takes place in downtown Springfield. It features a 75-foot inflatable Cat in the Hat, as well as a dozen or more big balloons. Hundreds of locals come to watch the parade that features large, colorful marching bands and floats. The parade is broadcast throughout the city and attracts upwards of 75,000 spectators. In addition to being great entertainment, the city also has the NRA National Sporting Arms Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the night, Springfield&#8217;s Club Quarter is home to 60 nightclubs and bars. The diverse nightlife scene is a big part of Springfield&#8217;s reputation as one of the best cities for dating in America. There are gay and straight-friendly clubs, as well as rock and hip-hop clubs. Friday nights are especially popular. And there are plenty of concerts in the city throughout the year. There&#8217;s something for everyone in Springfield! Just be sure to plan your stay accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the topographical features in the city is the renowned Forest Park. Located on the southwest side of Springfield, this 735-acre park is surrounded by attractive garden districts. Its boundaries include East Longmeadow, Ludlow, and the de-industrialized city of Chicope. The Byers Block and the Metro Center are located in these neighborhoods. You can also visit the historic downtown area, where the UMass Amherst Urban Design Studio and One Financial Plaza are located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Springfield is small in size, it has many notable features. It is home to the largest Catholic high school in the state, Cathedral High School, and the Pioneer Valley Christian Academy, which is a nondenominational school. A few nonsectarian private schools also exist in Springfield, including Pioneer Valley Christian School, and Orchard Children&#8217;s Corner. And the city has several nonsectarian elementary schools. There&#8217;s also the Academy Hill School, which teaches kindergarten through eighth grade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Springfield, there are many reasons to stay away.
