1. Springfield is home to

Baptist Bible College which counts Jerry Falwell, SR as an alumnus.

They're about 130 miles apart.

Funny story. One of my high school best friends went back to college in his mid-20s there because he wanted to become a youth pastor. He's religious but not in your face about it and soon became disillusioned with doing so because of the college. I don't know if it's still true, but at the time you had to sign an agreement to abstain from all secular forms of entertainment - TV shows, non-religious radio, movies, etc. leaving nearby Silver Dollar City the only real form of any kind of entertainment students could partake in. You could go up to just about anyone on campus and ask them, "What's your high score?" and get an answer. One of the first rides you come across on entering the park is a boat ride through a cave, but instead of being a Tunnel of Love, the boat is equipped with light guns, and you shot at various targets as you floated by.
