Homer's Home

Speaking of the ocean, do you have a ­favorite beach in Springfield? Springfield's famous nude beach. But how come I'm always the only guy who's nude there?

You're clearly a man who enjoys a good meal. You must have some favorite restaurants. Where do you go for breakfast? For a casual breakfast, nothing beats the friendly atmosphere of Flanders's kitchen before he wakes up.

How about a power lunch? I sneak away to Cooling Tower One at the nuclear plant. Lunch doesn't get more "power" than that. [Homer laughs for 15 minutes.]

And what about a fancy dinner? What do you think is the classiest joint in all of Springfield? Whatever place won't let me in.

Springfield has a country club with a golf course. Do you ever hit the links there? No, I really don't like sports that don't make you work up a sweat. That's why I prefer drunken bowling.

What about shopping? We know there are stores along the riverfront. What are some of the good ones? Springfield has some of the best shopping in the world. You can buy beer almost anywhere in town, including at many banks and churches. For fashion, Marge and I like to go "Goodwill hunting." I don't know why we call it that; we both hated the movie.

What would you tell someone visiting Springfield for the first time to do while they are here?  I would advise not coming after dark. In fact, you probably shouldn't come at all. But if you must, my top three attraction picks are the South Street Squidport, Isotope Stadium, and the new interactive exhibit, Throw a Brick through Flanders's Front Window while He's at Work.
