Shermer was only referenced in Dogma. Jay even says it doesn't exist.

Does Dogma actually feature the town?.

Yes - they are looking for it, but they find it is fictional

I want to go visit Shermer Illinois

Shermer is featured in Dogma in the sense that it is mentioned. The Death Star is featured in Clerks, it doesn't mean they think it's real.

Reach the Rock was Shermerville.
You missed Uncle Buck.

Hola I travelled all the way from Sweden to Chicago to go to Shermer. My bro and Ned took a walk around and even snuck into the high school. Felt like I was in a movie :)

Interesting since the town doesn't exist.
