Pistol Posted July 13, 2002 Share Posted July 13, 2002 it doesent really exist. Although in one episode Lisa did point to the eastern US on a map although she was being blocked. Remember they have to live near the ocean within driving distance of the Springfield Squidport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soopafeen Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 The whole point is for you not to know, they will never reveal the real location because its always a running side gag, no matter if you think you know for sure something in another episode will make you think its somewhere else.

suburbian bum Posted July 16, 2002 Share Posted July 16, 2002 There are 33 springfeilds in america. If you recall in one episode they go to the neighboring town "shelbyville". In kentucky there is a springfeild and a shelbyville that are fairly close. But in all seriousness there is no place they live, springfield represents the average american town.

Overtime Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 its understood that you arent supposed to know, thats why their mail is addresseed simpsons 142 evergreen terrace springfield, usa and always covers maps when they say it, they arent allowed in 2 states,,, in some episodes the city is almost on the ocean, some its not, its a crazy moving state, and no, missouri is wrong, the school is from there, but they took it down and moved it brick by brick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overtime Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Originally posted by Tha Former Springfield Missouri is my guess not possible in the episode where the lisa cheats, they are all in principal skinners office, talkin about the grant that they are gettin because of lisa chalmers says "this school is horrible, no wonder it was rated the worst school in the whole state of missouri,,,,,,,,which is why is was taken down and moved here brick by brick" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheoHuxtable Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Originally posted by Ceso One SAF i bet if u had every simpsons epoisode on tape because once in a while you can cut a state off ....for example ...they went to florida on vacation so they obviosly dont live in florida...and they had to go to new york to get homers car when barny left it there...that gets rid of new york and on one episode lisa points to a map of the state they live in the and the entire central east coast is showing but central , west coast and her hand was cut off by sumthing i forget....her hand was pointing toward the middle somewhere becuz her arm was to short to reach to the west coast I bet we could find out if we REALLY wanted too:idea: It was Bart's head that was covering where her finger was pointing. But anyways, Springfield is really supposed to represent the typical American city with typical American customs and culture. But it's not supposed to be in any particular state or an actual city. But in my opinion Springfield has a large Los Angeles influence, for one being the SPRINGFIELD sign on the mountain overlooking the city just like the HOLLYWOOD sign overlooks Los Angeles. And if I'm not mistaken the Simpsons are made in Los Angeles, so many of the artists/writers/producers may get their ideas from where they live. Plus how in one episode they drove to Las Vegas... as soon as they left Springfield they were in the desert and next thing you know they're in Vegas... that's how it is here. L.A. is the nearest "big city" to Vegas and right outside L.A. is desert. And I know they've done other things that showed a strong L.A. influence.

AORAone Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 in springfield navada, there is a simpsons house that you had a chance to win. the house is a piece by piece replica, in barts room there are a pair of his underware, legible adress, real house, pretty pimp. so technically it would be springfield nevada. my friend works at a u-haul and says theres a springfield in almost every state, so who knows, meh.

Guest KING BLING Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 I don't want to give a shit but... the reality is this, really: The city is inspired by Springfield Oregon and the entire state of Oregon. The show has too many refrences to Oregon in one way or another that were in place in the FIRST season to even allow other possibilities. All this other "evidence" comes after it became a running gag. But the thing was created with the intention to be Anywhere USA, no one really gave a shit about location. Than as the show progressed it used all the discussion around its location for humor and fun. Inspired by Oregon, encompassing all of America...

imported_dowmagik Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Originally posted by rubbish heap i said it before, ill say it again, its OREGON Most likely.
