Springfield is the capital of the U.S. state of Illinois and the county seat and largest city of Sangamon County. The city's population was 116,250 at the 2010 U.S. Census, which makes it the state's sixth most-populous city, the second largest outside of the Chicago metropolitan area (after Rockford), and the largest in central Illinois. As of 2019, the city's population was estimated to have decreased to 114,230, with just over 211,700 residents living in the Springfield Metropolitan Statistical Area, which includes Sangamon County and the adjacent Menard County.
Present-day Springfield was settled by European Americans in the late 1810s, around the time Illinois became a state. The most famous historic resident was Abraham Lincoln, who lived in Springfield from 1837 until 1861, when he went to the White House as President. Major tourist attractions include multiple sites connected with Lincoln including his presidential library and museum, his home, and his tomb at Oak Ridge Cemetery.
The city lies in a valley and plain near the Sangamon River. Lake Springfield, a large artificial lake owned by the City Water, Light & Power company (CWLP), supplies the city with recreation and drinking water. Weather is fairly typical for middle latitude locations, with four distinct seasons, including, hot summers and cold winters. Spring and summer weather is like that of most midwestern cities; severe thunderstorms may occur. Tornadoes hit the Springfield area in 1957 and 2006.
The city has a mayor–council form of government and governs the Capital Township. The government of the state of Illinois is based in Springfield. State government institutions include the Illinois General Assembly, the Illinois Supreme Court and the Office of the Governor of Illinois. There are three public and three private high schools in Springfield. Public schools in Springfield are operated by District No. 186. Springfield's economy is dominated by government jobs, plus the related lobbyists and firms that deal with the state and county governments and justice system, and health care and medicine.

Springfield Mill in Sandiacre was built in 1888 as a lace factory for Terah Hooley, a wealthy local industrialist, by architect John Sheldon of Long Eaton. The total capacity of the factory was originally 160 machines. It has now been converted to apartments and is listed Grade II.

...at long last! I have landed upon a true Kmart store for the first time since 2013. It would seem unfortunate to have missed out on other stores which closed since then around, but I am glad to land upon this store operating as usual. The store was quite a sight to observe the usual trends of Kmart.
As they made their way to the Mid-Atlantic around then, I would believe this is an early-70s build. The store is in the Springfield Plaza, a long-standing shopping center featuring various stores including Giant and Trader Joe's. The Kmart store has received the usual interior/slight exterior changes since, and currently remains at the mid-2000s red/black interior with several later exceptions. I would say that this store was in a passable condition, nicely stocked and packed however felt like a maze with the high shelves and ceiling beams dividing the store. This location also appears to have not had a pharmacy.
Update (11/12/2019): As of late 2018, this Kmart has closed. It is now playing host to a relocation of a Giant store in the same center. www.bisnow.com/washington-dc/news/retail/giant-to-take-ov...

This building is another even mix between it's Tapped Out appearance and the one often seen in the show.
I was considering building the courthouse and/or Monty Burn's mansion but after building this I felt that the architectural styles were too similar, so I left them out of the layout in order to include more variety. Not that I can't do them in the future, of course.

In a rare Universal release on a Fireworks Friday, I'm excited to share that the entire Simpsons expansion area grand opened yesterday morning! On yet another incredible timeline from conception to delivery, the new Springfield area is a great addition to Universal Studios Florida. There, you can find all sorts of your favorite Simpsons icons, new food and merchandise offerings, and new ride, Kang & Kodo's Twirl & Hurl.
After a photowalk of the new expansion at night, we were about to head back when this composition hit me. Jedidiah Springfield’s, the founder of the city, in the foreground with the Cinematic Spectacular fireworks.
Technically, this is a 6-shot layered composite. If you’ve not seen the Cinematic Spectacular, it does have a small amount of fireworks, and a bit of a finale. To get something grander, I took 4 different burst scenes and blended them together and took two shots to compose the foreground once everyone had cleared out for the most part, then blended everything back together.
Enjoy!
I've recently got back into recreating weapons. Shapes are my friends.
