A city in western Massachusetts, pop. 160,000. Home of:
-
Basketball
- Volleyball (invented in Holyoke, a Springfield suburb)
- Dr. Seuss
- Indian Motorcycles
- The Springfield Armory (stocked the US military with rifles since before the US Civil War up until 1967, when it was converted to a vocational/technical community college).
- The Springfield Indians AHL hockey team, whose claim to fame was that
Snoop Dogg wore their
jersey at the end of the Gin and Juice video (or "What's My Name?", I can't remember).
- And presumably more stuff that I can't think of right now.
Lots of Puerto Ricans live there now.
