A huge, expandable map of everything in Springfield, hometown of The Simpsons. I could have swore I've highlighted this before, but I could find it in my archives so: Here you are! Is it accurate? About as accurate as anything involving a cartoon that is not hideously concerned with continutity can be, I suppose.

As with most states, there's a Springfield here in Ohio. It looks nothing like this. Athena was very upset when she discovered our Springfield was not this Springfield. I can't say as I blame her.

  Interesting !! I liked it alot.  I believe I may try it. Yet, I'm not a quarter as intelligent as you are but I believe I'll go back to the age 11, very interesting for a girl that age.  Don't know why these letters get smaller or larger.  Computers. See, told you I wasn'as smart as you.  I enjoyed reading your blog.  Thank you Allison

  I'm the only person I've ever met who doesn't like that show.... I've never not seen the joke coming there.

  I lived just south of Springfield, Ohio for a little while.  I think remarked at one point that there must be a Springfield in just about every state.  It does seem to be a popular city name.
