Obsessively Detailed Map Of Springfield

Posted by timothy on from the forbidden-satellite-imagery dept.

An anonymous reader writes "With all these stories going around about governments' abilities to pinpoint our location via various means, it's quite surprising that one group of people have avoided them for so long. That dastardly family, The Simpsons, have been hidden in Springfield for far too long. Which brings us to the following obsessively detailed map of Springfield. From Jerry Lerma and Terry Hogan: "The mapping of Springfield began in the Spring of 2001 when we realized that no adequate map of Springfield existed either online or in print.""

    Yeah, it's a repeat. I'm getting tired of them. Any chance we could have some "all new" stories?

    People probably say that a lot in repeats, but that's a pretty interesting question in this particular case. I mean, how the hell could anyone who reads the site forget a totally original story like this, from the front page? Maybe they missed it, since the original only appeared at 10AM on a working day.

    The first several seasons are the funniest shows you'll ever see on ANY television show... but the most recent seasons aren't that funny at all.
    If you were new to the series, and say, 14, then I could see how you wouldn't like the Simpsons.
    It doesn't help that fox rarely shows classic episodes (in my area at least).

    When you see a post that does not contribute substantively to the topic, or discusses something that is not the topic, it is -1: Offtopic

    When you see a post that has intentionally inflammatory comments, such as the last line in the parent's comment, it is usually either -1: Troll, or -1: Flamebait.
