My two cents

I read today that Matt Groening has said that The Simpsons' hometown of Springfield is in Oregon, though there is some skepticism in the media as he has, in the past, made claims for other states. Anyway, you'll be glad to know I have my own (concise) theory. Once upon a time, whiling away the hours, I was scrutinising an atlas. And, yeah, there in Illinois I saw there was a Springfield quite near a Shelbyville.

    Did this 'Springfield' have a monorail?

    That would be the clincher.

    Quite a coherent theory, Illinois is possible.

    Hello Ande, sorry I didn't notice your comment sooner. Yes, I think it's got as much going for it as necessary. I suppose I could go through the atlas and check the other Springfields for nearby Shelbyvilles, but I think maybe life's too short.
