Undo revision 1438002 by California Girl (talk) I disagree. We don't see the Statue of Liberty, we see Springfield's parody of it.

California Girl: /* Cultural references */ Springfield is not a seaport. Nor a big city handling European immigration. New York IS intended. The writers EXPLICITLY SHIFT the locale to Springfield later thru a Slobtown title.
