Weekend reads: Springfield's weird tacos (in a good way), books and music

Text from our SGF Weekend email newsletter, written by Managing Editor Brittany Meiling

I have strong feelings about tacos after living 40 minutes from Tijuana for a good chunk of my life. But how are the tacos in Springfield?

Juliana Goodwin, our food writing contributor, discovered Springfield has some beautifully diverse flavors in its taco scene. Her piece — 5 under-the-radar ways to get your taco fix in Springfield — was our top-read story this week!

In other news, have you heard of this coffee shop in Buffalo where bigger-name musicians play? It's owned by musician Lyal Strickland and his mom Jacquelyn, and they've got the coolest living room vibe to the venue.

Speaking of cozy vibes, let's talk a minute about library books. I got this hilarious note sent to me from a library staffer and occasional freelance journalist for us, Kathleen O'Dell, and I just had to publish it. Springfield librarians were delighted by a book returned 44 years and 3 months late.
