According to News.com.au an email has been circulating around Australia claiming that the town of South Morang has built a replica of the house where the Simpsons live. On the cartoon, Homer and Marge live on 742 Evergreen Terrace, and South Morang does have an Evergreen Drive. Apparently many Simpsons' fans have been spotted driving aimlessly around South Morang searching for the house. Unfortunately for these fans, the replica house doesn't exist. The email is a hoax. But if you're a Simpsons fan the place you should actually visit is Portland, Oregon, the boyhood home of Matt Groening, whose streets apparently
inspired the names of many Simpsons characters.

i used to live there. http://www.lasvegassun.com/dossier/misc/simpsons/
it was in the newspaper and the news a few years back...
"The house was given away in a contest in 1997 and has since been repainted."
I don't really think it's such a good show. Kind of degrading and offensive at the same time, no matter what you believe. I realize a lot of the stuff is a joke, but some things should just be left alone.
the outside was repainted to "fit in" better with the neighborhood. & i believe i read that the novelty items inside were sold.
Blasphemy!

As a life-long fan of the simpsons, it's really irritating to look at the house in it's current condition because it's definitely not being appreciated at all. I would be more than proud to live there in it's actual Simpson condition, but apparently, the owner doesn't give a crap. I wish a real fan could buy it and actually treat it the way it deserves to be treated.
I took photos and will post them later.
