Opinion needed: How is Springfield as a place to live? [View all]

My husband is interviewing for a job there next month. We've been to Chicago numerous times, but never Springfield. It's just the two of us plus 3 cats (and maybe my sister). What's it like to live there? How's the quality of life? Would you recommend it? (We're in Texas now...a blue state has to be better, right?) Thanks!
