    I was driving down to ATlanta from Chicago the other day. On my way down south, I passed through northern kentucky. To my surprise, I came upon "Simpsonville". A few miles later, I came upon "Shelbyville" This got me to thinking of that one simpsons episode, I think "Remember The Laughs" or something, the clip show modeled after the VH1 shows. Didn't it say at the end that the Simpsons were a northern kentucky family? Perhaps i have stumbled upon the very birthplace of the simpsons?!??:eek:

    It doesn't matter if someone thinks they found it or not. The place doesn't exist. The Springfield in the Simpsons is near the ocean, has a huge tall mountain, a gigantic gorge and has legalized gambling. Can you think of a state that fits that description? I sure can't. I'm pretty sure the city in the show was not based off any particular Springfield location. They just chose a generic name that would get people wondering so they could screw with the fans.
