Scenes from my visit to Shelbyville, Indiana, on Sept. 25, 2025, spiced up with a few Simpsons quotes about the fictional Shelbyville, Springfield's rival city.
Highlight: Capone's Downtown Speakeasy in the town square.

He said Sandy Allen was the most interesting thing about it. So I made a 1-minute video with smoother narration, focusing on Allen.
