You have 10 minutes... I watched the episode in question, and I did not hear anyone say Springfield ILLINOIS. There are cities named Springfield in several states, including one in Massachusetts which could be reached from either Boston or NYC in less than a day's time. I don't want this to start another round of "What city is HSB really set in?", however, so I will admit that much of the opening was shot in Chicago, with clips from various other cities interspersed. I do wonder at times about the pathological need of netters to explain every single detail of a fictional setting. Remember folks, it ain't real.
