Re: what springfield?

There are a lot more cities/towns named Springfield. Click on the globe to see them all!
http://english.sxu.edu/sites/wordpress/libraryblog/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/globe-europe1.jpg

From Wikipedia.org

The television show The Simpsons is set in a town generically named "Springfield", without indicating a state. Creator Matt Groening has suggested in interviews that he chose the name because of its ubiquity; the show's intentionally contradictory information about the location of the town prevents matching the fictional Springfield to a real one. Springfield was also the setting of the early 1950s radio and television program, Father Knows Best, as well as the 1950s soap opera The Guiding Light, which continued as the CBS soap opera Guiding Light through 2009.

Re: what springfield?

In the Simpsons Movie, Flanders names 4 states that surround Springfield. Ohio is surrounded by these states. Also, in an episode of the Simpsons, Homer mentions something about the state and Ohio. So, Ohio is my guess.


I might return for a little while.

Yup. But North Takoma ain't real. Then again, neither are the simpsons.
Another way of finding it is locating each Springfield and seeing if there's a Shelbyville nearby. :O GENIUS!
