Sprinfield is exactly 1000 miles from Branson Missouri. You guys saw that episode right? Lisa says it to Homer after grandpay steals the car last season. Let me get a map and a ruler...i'll be back home-boyz!

There's also a section of town called Old Colonial Springfield that the family visited in one episode. I think it was in the forth season.

Marge once said that it was founded by circus freaks! And don't forget the part that either the people from Springfield or Shelbyville, I can't remember which, wanted to be able to marry their first cousins!

I've been there! It was a blast to finally meet homer and the gang.

or wait a minute... duh.. uh, perhaps it's fictional.

You can drive there quite easily from Bakersfield. And it's close enough to the fictional Riverdale (which is based on Haverhill, Massachusetts), that Archie's gang once brought Homer back to his house and threw him out of the car.
