The Springfield that Zach G. describes is the one I'm from. I agree that it's a pretty good place. Not too far away from NYC, okay schools, good history, and a very good diversity of people including groups such as blacks, jews, Puerto Ricans, Costa Ricans,Italians, Mulattoes, Colombians, Jamaicans,Chileans, Russians, and yes, even Albanians. The main thing i fell wrong with it is that too many people try to think they're ghetto. Folks, if you're living in any place called Springfield, I feel that you're automatically disqualified for being ghetto. You can be cool and be in Springfield but you're in no conceivable way ghetto completely as long as Springfield remains suburban. other then this gripe, it's all cool.

Township on the northwest border of Philadelphia, in Montgomery County (Not to be confused with Springfield Delco).
Consists of Oreland, Flourtown, Erdenheim, and Wyndmoor.
Home of G-Maf, which, although it has a corny name, will destroy you.
309 goes through Springfield. As does route 73 (Church Road) and Bethlehem Pike. Bordered by Philadelphia to the south across Stenton Avenue, and sorta to the east. North by Upper Dublin Township across Pennsylvania Ave. West by Whitemarsh Township. East by Cheltenham Township.

I took Bethlehem Pike down to Springfield and got fucked up by G-Maf. They're harder than they sound.

Nickname for a five round, bolt action rifle made at Springfield Armory also known as an '03 (named so because of the model year of the rifle, the Model 1903 Springfield Rifle). Fired .30 caliber rounds. Was the main weapon for infantry during World War I. Usage of the rifle continued into early World War II, until it was completely replaced by the semi automatic, eight round M1 Garand. Afterwards, the Springfield mainly saw usage as a markman's rifle in the U.S Armed Forces and served as the standard American sniper rifle during WWII, Korea, and Vietnam.
U.S Ranger Sharpshooter Private Jackson (played by Barry Pepper) famously uses a 1903A4 Springfield sniper rifle in combat in Steven Spielburg's World War II drama, Saving Private Ryan.

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.

1. Name of many cities. The largest and most well-known Springfield is in Massachusetts. It's home to the Basketball Hall of Fame. Springfield, IL is also well-known by elementary school students as a state capital, but otherwise, it's a backwater. Springfield, MO is even more of a backwater but it's home to SW Missouri State Univ (SMS). There are also smaller Springfields in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Oregon and Ohio. None of these are worth discussing.
2. The fictional town where TV's The Simpsons live. It's not supposed to be in any state; rather, it's Springfield, USA. Identifying it with any real city would be a real embarassment because this Springfield is home to a fake barf factory.

Local abbreviation of Springfield University Hospital, a psychiatric hospital in Tooting, South London.
It was fouded in the 1840s, originally known as Surrey County Lunatic Asylum.
For some reason, it is bordered by several schools, which is rather freaky.
