bigm141414 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 well the article doesn't really tell you where it is...OK, why do the Simpsons live in a town called Springfield? Isn’t that a little generic? Springfield was named after Springfield, Oregon.Well technically true, but they give the town that inspired it. Don't rain on my parade.

67alecto Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 That article is such a lame way to bring in traffic. No where in the article does he say where Springfield is. All he does is restate what has been disclosed in interviews years ago - that he took a lot of inspiration from his surrounding area. A lot of the characters are named after streets there, etc. Quote Repairing a lifetime of bad habits... Link to comment
Corbab Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 I think someone mentioned that Springfield was in Illinois around the time the movie came out. Didn't hear this firsthand, so I could be wrong...
