Are the Simpsons from Springfield Oregon??

So we are in Eugene, OR for a few days and the closest town is Springfield.  Now some think the Simpson's TV show town is named after the Oregon town of the same name.
Tomorrow we will go to Springfield and see for ourselves.  Really I never watched this show but have heard of it.

Only in Eugene.

Can you believe this beauty was being lived in and in a city park.

We found a great walking places on the Willamette River in Eugene.
