15th Springfield Stop -- Andy's Frozen Custard

I know that Andy's Frozen Custard has locations in other cities. However, Springfield was where it all started.

I have requested time and time again that they rename the Jitterbug after me -- but they only laugh.

Enjoy!

14th Springfield Stop -- Brad Pitt Museum

Have you been there? It's great!

Happy April Fool's Day!

What do you think -- would you go if it is built?

The Jolie-Pitt's visited Springfield in January. I guess we are cool when we see them in the flesh.

Springfield has been in the national spotlight quite a bit over the past few months -- even without the Pitt name involved.

Here is a clip (it's the last stop on this video) of Carson Daly's Route 66 trip and he says a nice thing about the people of Springfield.

Also, Paul McCartney did the whole Route 66 trip and my future daughter-in-law waited on him and his girlfriend at Andy's Frozen Custard last summer. (We are sorry that we didn't believe her at first.)

And, now we are getting press from New York about our cashew chicken!
