I think that part of the appeal of the show was that every resident of a
city named Springfield (and there are a *lot* of them) would occasionally
see a reference to their own home town. I lived in Springfield, Missouri
when the Simpsons decided to visit Branson, MO, which was only about 30
miles away. I assure you that Branson, MO is much closer to Springfield, MO
(35 miles) than Springfield, OR.
