The Massive Debate is Settled: Springfield is in Illinois!!!

Yesterday, the answer was finally settled. The large check that Buzz was showing off yesterday from Alexandra even had a zip code that began with 627 (Springfield's zip).

At least one question has been answered for me before I die. That would have been my final breath: "Where in the hell is Springfield?" booooooooooooooooooooop flat line.

Thank you, GL!

All you had to do was ask. I've known that Springfield was in Illinois forever. Didn't you ever wonder why it only took them 30mins to get to Chicago??

We always assumed it, especially since Chicago is considered across the street. But the issue was never settled for certain. I remember that recently there were mountains near GL Springfield for a certain storyline. There are no mountains in the real Illinois. I thought that was hilarious.

You know what they say about people who assume, right?

Sorry, but you can't get to Chicago from S/F in 30 minutes. I live in Illinois and there is no way that could happen. Fly to Chicago - 45 minutes. Done it several times. Driving - at least 2+ hours. If people from soapland make it sound like Chicago is just a hop, skip, and jump so be it. But never in real life.

Okay, they've said it before I didn't assume, plus if you read anything about GL it'll usually say so.

* I was exaggerating about the time from SF to Chicago, obviously you can't do that in REAL life, but Daisy went to Chicago and back in one afternoon, so I was going off what they do on the SOAP!

Thanks Delonjo, I always wondered about just 'where' Springfield was located too. Remember just recently, 'The Simpsons', needed to decide just WHERE their Springfield was located???

You know what, in Soapland I bet they could go to the moon for the afternoon. Didn't mean to sound mean, I just didn't know how many posters lived in this area and thought perhaps Chicago and Springfield were closer than they really are.

Nope, I just wanted to let you know I understood! I didn't think you were mean.

If SF, Illinois is GL's home town why do so many GL characters mention Oklahoma? I have often thought SF,Ill and am very familiar w/ that area having spent my young life in Illinois (Rockford). There are MANY Springfields in MANY states..but D did some detective work and I am glad to accept that location.

I always assumed Springfield was in Illinois too

Also I mentioned this a couple months ago... but in a recent show I think it was Mallet that mentioned going to "OAKDALE" which is the town where As the World Turns is centered in. I thought that was kinda cool if Springfield and Oakdale are close cities to each other!!!

You know, I remember that scene, and I was thinking, I've been all over the state. There aren't any mountains. I wonder if the scene directors realize that.

Maybe they should visit Illinois a bit. It wouldn't take them long to figure out just how flat it is here.

And I believe As The World Turn is based in Illinois too. Just like Y&R and B&B are both based in Wisconsin. CBS seems to like the midwest a lot.

Because Reva, Josh, and Billy are from Tulsa, Oklahoma. Thet aren't originally from Springfield.
