| ==In Comparison to Elwood City==
| |
| Some episodes portray [[Elwood City]] in a different light compared to Crown City. [[Muffy Goes Metropolitan]] portrays it as a grand city, much larger than Elwood City and referred to as a place for weekend vacations. Other episodes, such as [[The Long Road Home]] portray Crown City as simply a sister city to Elwood City. Some have speculated that Elwood City might be a suburb of Crown City.
