What have been some great Simpson locations that have been invented for the sake of the story? For instance: Springfield gorge, Mount Springfield, Springfield Salt Flats. Etc. It's one of my favorite Simpson tricks.

The Burlesque House...I'm sure we would have seen it around the town if it had existed before that episode.

I always wondered if Crackton and Bumtown were the same neighborhood.

Probably not! Although Crackton might be supplanting Bumtown, just as New York City's Chinatown is absorbing Little Italy.

Oh well, as long as the 22A bus goes there on Tuesdays. I don't want to get dumped off at Airport Refueling Way.

And its two sister mountains... unnamed... I call them The Aggravated-assault-horn and the Manslaughter-Horn.

Don't forget Springfield A&M and Springfield Heights Institute of Technology...

...or the South Street Squidport.

Actually I would count the Tire Yard, the SNPP and the Squidport as three 'real' locales in Springfield. They are there all the time - or pop up quite regularly. Something like the Murderhorn turns up for just one episode.

That's really what I consider to be one of the main faults of "The Simpsons." I really enjoyed the Powersauce episode, but they just muck around with things too much sometimes. Something like the Murderhorn should exist, or it shouldn't. I don't think it's right to just suddenly add a series of three huge mountains, then forget all about them.

But I guess if you look at the show as more of a sketch comedy, it's bearable.
