Piece Description
Lede: According to the website Wikipedia, the name Springfield evokes a "normal, bland, run-of-the-mill American city." At first glance, the Springfield across the river from Eugene might fit this description. But look a bit deeper and uncover what some are calling the rebirth of a city. While it gets attention for landing big employers such as Royal Caribbean - and from Eugene - Symantec and the new Riverbend Hospital, smaller businesses in downtown Springfield don't want to be overlooked. KLCC's Angela Kellner reports. (lede included in piece)
