Is this a serious question? This is like comparing Louisville to New York City. There is no comparison here....

Don't know what your criteria is for relocation or what you are looking for in a community---but I've been to both cities, and I prefer Louisville.

City of Springfield, MO: Working With the Community

I'm sure Springfield is a very nice little town, but this is no contest. Even if you prefer a rural life-style, the answer is to move about 30 minutes outside of the city and still have access to a ton of actvities.
