How funny it is to travel and "go native"

Apparently it was a first venture into the Wilderness for this liberal arts major, who went native as soon as she had a chance to change her shoes.

Ahhh, tourists - it's always "tourist season" in Springfield, Vermont!

Springfield, Vermont- City of Lights, Official Home of the Simpsons, and Jewel of the Upper Valley

Visible from outer space, Springfield, Vermont, is a City of Lights, a veritable Garden of Delights, and it has the honor of having been voted "Official Home of the Simpsons"! What more can a town ask for? Potholes and broken pavements you ask? Heck, we have more than One Thousand And One Potholes, spread all along whole stretches of the public byways (which, potholes aside, in the Winter become more like random staircases then level roadways in places, reminding one of the hillside towns of the Cinque Terra).
Yes, inexplicably, a fresh filling will indeed be witnessed now and then, but this is likely done mostly for effect and contrast, and to remind us of how interesting it is to patch patches, however patchily.
And Truth be told, Springfield's Other Finest, the Public Works Department, can be seen zipping right along in good weather, repaving the worst stretches with alacrity and finesse, (in time for Winter to have yet more fun with cars).
Visible desde el vacuo del espacio, Springfield, Vermont, es una ciudad de luces, es un verdadero Jardín Encantado - ¡además de tener el honor de haver sido elegido Sede Oficial de los Simpson! ¿Que más puede pedir una ciudad - calles en malas condiciones con mogollón de baches? ¡Eso si, baches tenemos tambien, y a montón! Pero hay que ver, que durante este Verano se han hecho maravillas reparando el calcado municipal.
