July 3rd was the I Love America event in Springfield Missouri. There were thousands of people in attendance to see the airshow, skydivers, helicopter rides, music, games, food, and of course fireworks! The weather was perfect with no rain and warm temperatures. The event is held yearly at the Springfield Underground and sponsored by James River Assembly church. Here are some pictures I took at the event.

Just a stone's throw from busy James River Freeway is place that you should really visit. A lot of people in Springfield know about it but you'd be surprised how many don't! There are hundreds of acres of woods, water, and trails. There is also a very nice visitor center with exhibits. On the trails, you will see all kinds of wildlife. Its a perfect place to spend the afternoon and have a picnic. Here are some pictures I took on a recent visit:

Diverging Diamond Opens In Springfield MO, First in the US

Team Knowles REALTORS Springfield MO Homes For Sale: Real Estate Agent in Springfield, MO

The first diverging diamond interchange in the US is now open in Springfield MO at I-44 and North Kansas Expressway (Missouri 13). It looks kind of weird! When you drive on Kansas Expressway you'll actually switch over to the left side of the road right before the bridge, then switch back right after. Drivers no longer have to stop to make left hand turns onto I-44. MODOT says this will improve safety and make traffic flow better.

New Hwy 65 - 60 Interchange at Springfield MO

Team Knowles REALTORS Springfield MO Homes For Sale: Real Estate Agent in Springfield, MO

If you live in Ozark or Springfield Missouri, you're all too familiar with the 60-65 interchange. Traffic headed South to Branson or North to Springfield getts pretty congested on this outdated cloverleaf intersection.

With the continued growth of the area, traffic is only going to get heavier. U.S. 65-U.S. 60 Interchange After Improvements

Thankfully MDOT has started construction to provide relief with the rebuild of this area. Here's a picture of what the Hwy 60-65 project will look like when finished. The bad news is it won't be done until Fall 2012!
