Not only is it where the Simpsons live, and a village by Cupar in Fife, but Springfield is also the name of a local pub in Broomhall, for local people...
It's only a short walk from the Hallamshire Hospital, and could be tarted up to appeal to the hundreds of visitors/ out patients/ staff/ nearby students, but I've never dared enter...

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.
You may notice on yours hike in the woods, trees with a section of the bark removed around the girth of the trunk. This is called "girdling." You'll notice the practice in managed forests and woods. Girdling is done to kill the tree by interrupting the flow of nutrients to the roots from the rest of the tree. Why use girdling to kill a tree? One reason is to create a natural death whereby the tree becomes habitat for a myriad of forest life: insects, fungus, birds, for example. The decay also adds organic matter to the forest soil.
In certain tree species, the practice of girdling also prevents regrowth from the stump which aides in forest management goals. In many designated natural areas and parks, forests are being restored to a more original condition; girdling removes undesirable trees gradually from the environment while producing positive effects for the forest.
