Capital City (The Simpsons)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Capital City is the fictional city and capital of Springfield's state from The Simpsons. The nickname of the city is "The Windy Apple", a combination of The Big Apple and the Windy City. The city is often spelled Capitol City with an "o" in the series as well as with an "a."
The city is often host to major events such as concerts, sports games and United Nations conferences. It has its own major league baseball team, the Capital City Capitals (who play in a domed stadium), with mascot the Capital City Goofball. Other attractions include the Cross-town suspension bridge, the main Duff Brewery, the Capital City Stadium[citation needed], the Capital City Amphitheatre and the intersection of 4th and D streets. Boxer Dredrick Tatum grew up in the "projects of Capital City."
The city has its own version of Monopoly, which Milhouse brought Bart after returning to Springfield. As described by Milhouse, "Baltic Avenue is now Wayne Street; it's awesome!"
The city's distance from Springfield is inconsistent, ranging from 30 to 220 miles. Air-routes, several roads, and a railway link the two cities. The city also has several large hotels which frequently host conventions attended by the Simpson family, and Capital City also hosted the Super Bowl and the music festival Hullabalooza.
Landmarks and stores in Capital City featured on the show include the Bootleg T-Shirt Emporium, Capital City Plaza Hotel (where Homer Simpson and Mindy Simmons stayed during the National Energy Convention), Duff Brewery, Madame Chao's Chinese Restaurant, St. Dominick's Cathedral, the Penny Loafer, Volkswagen World, and the 2nd Best Western Hotel.
During an episode in which the Simpson family visits Capital City, Tony Bennett sings a song praising the city.
