Springfield, Vermont

RichardWitt · July 11th, 2007, 10:20 AM

I just saw the news tonight saying that Springfield in Vermont is the winner of the premier of the Simpsons movie.

It was also said in the news report that Springfield, Vt is now the Springfield referred to in the show after many years of controversy over which of the 17 Springfield's in the USA it actually was.

I just wanna see the movie?

I've been to Springfield, VT. It definitely ain't where the Simpson's takes place.

I've done a ton of work in Greater Springfield Vermont on both sides of the border, Claremont New Hampshire's right across from it. It's a very pretty place IMHO.
Homer's probably in Reading, Vermont which looks like the landscape of Heaven, all Mountain Tops with Valleys filled with hundreds of Horses grazing
and all kinds of livestock too. My favorite subshop/pizzaria is in Reading,Vermont. They gotta have a bakery - I just haven't been to it yet.
Reading's 15 minutes outta Springfield.

To be honest, I NEVER imagined Homer living in Vermont. Still can't.

Always seemed Midwest to me, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, etc.

i always thought the Simpson's took place in the city of Springfield in the state of Comic Insanity. definately NOT vermont.

looking forward to the movie

I always thought the Simpsons was set in Springfield because it is the most common city name in the US, hence the most generic.

It should have been in Springfield, Oregon, Cause the creator of the show is from the Eugene/Springfield Oregon area.
