For more than two years, David Tiler Broffman, CEO of Dunk Them Donuts, worked behind the scenes with the Bricklyn Chamber of Commerce in the successful campaign that culminated in 2019 with the Simpsons clan relocating from Springfield to their new hometown of Bricklyn, VT.
➤ Included in the move were previously unknown to the public twins and triplets of a number of Simpson family members and friends!
Since arriving in Bricklyn, the Simpsons have helped cement Bricklyn’s place as the Donut Capital of America,
The Bricklyn Eagle has previously reported on the Simpsons’ impact on Bricklyn; some excerpts:
➤ Bricklyn’s “Great Donut Debate” Heads to the Federal Council (Jan. 31, 2023) — Tom Brickorti, President of the Bricklyn Chamber of Commerce, told The Bricklyn Eagle, “donuts are critical to our Realm’s tourist economy,” noting that “the boom in donut shops resulting from the Simpson family’s relocation to Bricklyn in December 2019, has led to a significant increase in tourism.”
Brickorti reports that “Simpson fans from both Outland and Inland cities want to eat in the same donut shops where Homer Simpson eats, and perhaps even catch sight of the celebrity.”
➤Shocking “Private” Poems Become a Public Matter (Feb. 5, 2023) — This [Bricklyn Eagle] reporter on arriving at work this morning was given two pieces of paper by Groundskeeper Willie.
As Willie explained: “Ah fun thae twa papers ootdoors this mornin’ as ah wis daein’ mah roonds. Ah didnae ken if thay wur overflowing fae yer office’s wee trashcan. Ah brought tae yer affice as ah wasn’t sure if ye wanted thaim.” 📍
📍Groundskeeper Willie has a strong Scottish accent. Here he’s describing how he found two papers on the street this morning while he was making his rounds, and brought them to The Eagle’s offices as he wasn’t sure whether or not they were meant for the trash.
➤ Bricklyn Loop Monorail Draws Eyes Skyward (Nov. 3, 2023) — [Bricklyn Loop Monorail] CEO Stephen Plater Mills acknowledged “the concerns some may have about monorail safety given that unfortunate event and the fact that Homer Simpson — implicated in the Springfield crash — is now living in Bricklyn” and has been spotted loitering by two monorail stations. …
As for Simpson, Mills declared, “keep him loaded with those mega donuts and he won’t cause any monorail mischief.”
We at The Bricklyn Eagle, like other Bricklynites, enjoy engaging in “Simpson spotting” — especially while munching on a Dunk Them Donut. A few of our many Simpson photos are posted below.
