Superman’s Smallville Hometown Could Become Real Thanks To Facebook Campaign

Have you ever wanted to visit Smallville, the childhood hometown of Superman? If so, then you soon might be able to get your wish, as a new Facebook campaign hopes to create a real Smallville. In both the comic books and the TV series, Smallville was located in Kansas.Despite the fact that Metropolis, Illinois has built a robust tourism business by laying claim to being the hometown of the adult Superman, no Kansas town has ever done the same by laying claim to the Smallville name. However, an artist named Christopher Wietrick looks to rectify that situation.Wietrick has launched a Facebook campaign to get his hometown of Hutchinson, Kansas officially renamed to Smallville, Kansas. Wietrick is working on a comic book to support the name change, which will be used to help raise money for the Boys and Girls Club of Hutchinson.
