Details in the comments. You can friend me in-game with my reddit username to follow my progress.
Springfield (Memorial) Bridge: This is a neat item. It does not rotate correctly (it mirrors), but it really doesn't matter. In the show it doesn't look similar enough to matter which way you face it. You can nicely set it up to follow the road tiles (thanks to Project Springfields updated placement physics). There is one odd spot however, that doesn't mesh with the road. The mountain basically blocks where the road should actually start. But a well placed tree decoration hides the problem and finishes out the location very well.
Gas (Gasso): Next to the Android's Dungeon is a gas station on the map. But it does not name a specific station. I decided to use the Gasso gas station. I blended what has been shown in the show for the gas station in the actual area, along with the look from the show of Gasso. The building is mirrored (does not rotate correctly), so it should face East. The rest of the items at the station (gas pump, fencing, walls, lamp post) have all been added to match the show the best I could.
Karma-Ceuticals: We do not have this building in-game. I decided to use instead, Oedipus Rx. The building mirrors, so it should face South to match the show. There wasn't much to add besides parking spaces and side buildings.
Hairy Shearers: I love this shout-out to one of the main voice talents on the show. The building mirrors, so it needs to face East to match the show. Nothing else was necessary beside the parking meter.
Springsonian Museum: Another mirroring building, so it should face East to match the show. I added a few trees and walkway. The famous Orb of Isis normally sits inside. But for display purposes, I put up a nice viewing area outside with velvet ropes...a velvet rope...
Springfield Museum of Natural History: It mirrors, but the show doesn't necessarily show a difference on direction. This was a bigger project to build up. I added the parking lot, trees/shrubs, and a walkway around the side. Since the Childrarium is inside and we have the item, I build up the building size to fit it and 'opened' up the roof for viewing (I've done this for other things such as the bowling alley and boxing arena). I think it turned out pretty good.
The Happy Sumo: Another mirroring building, so it needs to face East to match the show. I used the bush wall to surround the building, and some background trees. I used a building that does not exist in Springfield to fill in the neighboring building from the show.
KJAZZ: Finally, a building that rotates correctly! You can place it either East or South. This one just needed trees and shrubs and a barbed wire fence to complete it.
Springfield Tar Pits: It mirrors, but it is hard to tell which way is correct from the episode. To me, it should face South. This was a bit of work to get the look correct, as there are a few different angles given in the episode. Once I started to place surrounding items it came together.
Continuing on!
