Springfield: no Podunk
One of my favorite web sites is e-Podunk,
a guide to over 25,000 USA communities. I find it handy for trip or
retirement planning, when I want a quick overview of a town's amenities
and attractions.
The site's entry on Springfield is interesting, and it offers a set of historic postcards (all way before our time) that you may mail to friends.
Most of the information seems accurate, though Kathleen Turner, listed
as a famous person from our town, was actually born in Springfield,
Missouri.
Podunk means a small, out-of-the-way, unimportant place. As the site reveals, the word may be of Indian origin and several towns in the USA use it as a name.
