Springfield, MO – Yesterday flood rains dissected the city of Springfield into a group of 118 small islands separated by canals and for a few moments Springfield existed as the Venice of the Ozarks, further verifying the city as one of the most important tourist destinations in the world.

Before the deluge of rain, Springfield, MO was listed as the 28th most visited city in Missouri. There are numerous attractions in the area, such as Bass Pro Shops, the site where they shot a COPS episode last year and a field where Brad Pitt once pissed on a rock.

Yet for one day the Ozarks city was able to rely upon the cruise business to become a popular international luxury destination, attracting thousands of actors, critics, celebrities, and people in the cinematic industry. Gondolas were expedited Wednesday morning, in preparations of the coming storm, to keep up with the heavily anticipated demands of tourists and celebrities.

City Utilities capitalized on the flooding streets to transport people within the city and Prime Trucking was rumored to be moving goods via the watery routes through neighborhoods and downtown.

The glorious run as the only Midwestern city of canals was short lived, however photographs remain and locals will always remember the day the city streets drown.
