Talk:Springfield (The Simpsons)

Note:

Springfield in the Simpsons came from Springfield, Oregon It's about 2 hours away from Portland Oregon where The Simpson's creator lives at the moment. --Actown 03:59, 15 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Note:

Dear Sir, I would like to bring to your attention that there is in fact a town of Springfield located in Washington County, Kentucky about 30 miles south of Shelbyville. Its also of interest that theres also a town of Simpsonville, KY near Shelbyville. Best regards, A Simpsons fan :)

Under culture, there's a link to a U.S. "liberal" - an article that doesn't exist. Is there any reason the link can't point to the general article on liberals? Krupo 04:30, Aug 29, 2004 (UTC)

Olde/New dispute

Olde Springfield did not erect the wall to separate themselves from New Springfield. In fact, Mayor Quimby wanted to reach out to their neighbors in New Springfield, though this goal was suddenly put away when Homer Simpson threw a can at him. However, New Springfield's Homer Simpson hired Fat Tony and the Mafia to build a wall with 90% recycled materials.

Confederate flag

To my knowledge, South Carolina has never had a version of the Confederate flag incorporated into its state flag. The controversy was actually that the Confederate Battle Flag (or more accurately the Navy Flag) was atop the State House Dome, along with the State and National flags. Miss. and Georgia, however did.

Seperate article for Springfield's state?

I think it would be helpful if we start a new article for the state in which Springfield is located and move state-related information from the Springfield article there.

There are alot of Springfields in the US. There isn't really much to argue, particularly since it is an on-going gag. Though if I were one of the writers, I'd make it out that The Simpon's Springfield is such an embarrassment due to its residents, so it is prohibited from being placed on any national map. After all Matt Groening once said that everyone in Springfield needs therapy, including Marge.

Capital City

I am pretty sure that "Capital City" refers to Washington, DC and not the capital of Springfield's state. Note the reference to "4th street and D" in the episode, which is an actual street corner in Washington. --NDP logo Earl Andrew - talk 18:56, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

There was an episode where Lisa and Bart travel to Capital City to present Lisa's proposal for a new state flag to the Governor. (I think that the old one contained a depiction of slavery.) Ground Zero | t 15:16, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Evergreen Terrace

There should be an article on Evergreen Terrace, the street where The Simpsons live. Maybe even an article specifically on their house at 742 Evergreen Terrace.
