July 10, 200718 yr lolz, washington county indiana owns lincoln county kentucky. i'm about 25 miles north of louisville... such a froob... anywho, voting ended July 8 or 9 at 3:00 A.M. Hoepfully that stupid Springfield, Missouri didn't nab it... What's the point of doing this I wonder? It's not clear to people that there's an extremely small chance that they'll actually reveal the town that they live in? Unless there was some huge public announcement I missed where they said they would reveal it, I'd say they won't. Seriously, after 20 years, I think that if they were going to they would've by now. I'd say the best chance to learn what town it is is to watch the last episode of the show, whenever it comes out in the next 100 years, and there would still be an extremely small chance they would reveal it. My guess is that any mention of their real town in the movie would be at the very end, and Homer would say something like "I'm so glad we live in the town of Springfield..." and then the credits roll, or something like that. Go ahead and dream though, if you'd like :lol: . "El que no arriesga no gana"
July 10, 200718 yr The US town of Springfield, Vermont, has beaten 13 rivals and will host the premiere of the film about the animated family The Simpsons. The show is set in a fictional Springfield because its creator, Matt Groening, spotted that it is one of the most common place-names in the US. Vermont was chosen in an online vote after 14 towns submitted videos to argue why their town should win. The premiere is on 21 July, ahead of national US release on 27 July. Vermont's Springfield beat rivals ranging from Oregon on the west coast to Massachusetts on the Atlantic. The town of just over 9,000 residents got 15,367 votes, beating the Illinois entry by 733, according to USA Today, which conducted the poll. The other contenders were in the states of Colorado, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, Ohio and Tennessee. Video parodies "We're so excited," said Patricia Chaffee, vice-president of the Springfield Regional Chamber of Commerce in Vermont. "We came in at the last minute, and for us to win, we feel like the underdogs, which makes this so big and so great for us," she told USA Today. The video entry from Illinois featured the general manager of the local power plant, Todd Renfrow, whose appearance is similar to that of Montgomery Burns, the villain and power plant owner in the show. Over in Kentucky, a scene was filmed portraying creator Groening in a courtroom, hearing how the cartoon was based on their town. And Senator Edward Kennedy was recruited for the recording by Springfield, Massachusetts, even though he is regularly mocked in the series. Before the vote, Tim Farley, executive director at the Springfield Convention and Visitors Bureau in Illinois, said: "We always really did think we were the one. "The similarities between the cartoon and Springfield are really uncanny," he told Reuters. But he said that whatever the outcome, all of the towns were "winners". "It's made a lot of Springfields more popular than they may have been before," he said. Source: BBC Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

The Simpsons takes place in the fictional American town of Springfield, without any geographical coordinates or references to U.S. states that might identify what part of the country it represents. Nevertheless, fans have tried to determine the town's location by taking the town's characteristics, surrounding geography, and nearby landmarks as clues. As a response, the show has become intentionally deceptive in regard to Springfield's location. Commentators have suggested, and then ruled out, nearly every U.S. state and region as the basis for Springfield.[30] Only once, in season 11, did an episode "Behind the Laughter", describe the Simpsons as a "Northern Kentucky family". However, there are many counterexamples to contradict this statement, so it acts merely as a teaser for increasingly curious fans. Groening has said that Springfield has much in common with Portland, Oregon, the city where he grew up.[31] The name "Springfield" is a common one in America and appears in over half of the states.[32] Springfield's geography, and that of its surroundings, contain coastlines, deserts, vast farmland, tall mountains, or whatever the story or joke requires.[33] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_simpsons#Setting They aren't based anywhere in real life. Also "in the Simpsons Movie Ned shows Bart the four states that border Springfield which are Ohio, Nevada, Maine, and Kentucky."
