I'm aware. I'm an urban planner. I was merely pointing out Springfield and Hartford being part of the same metro to highlight how far south Springfield is. I believe only 25 miles or so separate the two cities. The dot may look too far south to you because the dot itself is probably much larger than the city at that scale.

Metro regions are not physical towns. It is a combination of cities and towns. The comment was about the town of Springfield only.

Springfield does not share a border with Connecticut.

Springfield and Hartford are essentially one metro area.

This was fun, thanks! I got 19/20...the only one I had trouble locating was Fitchburg. For some reason I always picture Fitchburg as being in the MetroWest area.

Springfield is pretty south. It always surprises me somehow.

That was fun. 14/20 but for a couple I did mis-tap because of fat fingers and I didn't zoom in when I should have.

Oddly, I did worse the closer I got to my house. I don't use a map locally so guess I can't recognize towns by shape.

I see the point. Springfield is on the Mass Turnpike, which appears to cross the state horizontally. It’s actually going southwest. And it’s geographically large. But it doesn’t border Connecticut as someone else said.
