Return of the "Where is Springfield?" Debate
So where do you think Springfield is located?
Personally, I don't think Springfield is any one location in the US. The clues the show gives as to its whereabouts are used to confuse us. __________________

Yeah, I remember in the one of the finales (I think it was season 12), they released the ep with half of them saying they lived in Missouri and half saying they lived in Kentucky, or something like that. The one I watched said Missouri, so I thought they'd given the secret away until I heard about the other version. I guess I should have known better. But frankly, it just doesn't matter to me where Springfield is anymore.

I bet on Oregon or Illinois.

If The Simpsons is considered a satire of suburbia, Springfield could just be a metaphor for that. The name is that of quite a few towns.

Pavla, that article is amazing. I want to think Illinois b/c I live there. But the evidence seems to point to Oregon.

I always thought Springfield was in the midwest. But personally, I don't want to know the "true" location if there really is one. I like that fact it's ambiguous.

Same here coolove. I always thought of the Simpsons as a Midwestern family.

My friend, though, has determined based on the clues, that it is Springfield, Michigan. Somewhere in the midwest makes sense, but I don't know how "Michigan" it looks to me. Not that I'm too knowledgeable about the midwest. |
