Ok, I believe that the Simpsons definitely live in Springfield, Massachusetts. First of all, the Simpsons couldn't be from Springfield, IL because it is the capital of that state and the Simpsons visit Capitol City where they live. Also, there is no Springfield, Connecticut, so the next closest bet would be neighboring MA. Here are some more reasons why the Simpsons live in MA. -Mayor Quimby has a Boston accent, and is the spitting image of MA senator Ted Kennedy. -More on that note, when on "The Tonight Show" Dan Castellaneta made a reference to some unnamed MA politician when voicing Mayor Quimby. -In one episode it talks about the Springfield Armory, also in Springfield, MA -There is a Springfield University where the Simpsons live, maybe a reference to Springfield College -The Simpsons' Springfield was settled in 1796, before the Westward expansion, eliminating any possibility of it being west of the Mississippi River/Appalachian Mts. -There are snow covered mountains in Springfield, MA- MT. Tom -In one episode, Bart gets a credit card, gives Krusty a check in hopes of him signing it, gets the check back with a stamp on it, brings it to the bank(and so on) it shows the current time in many locations, including Washington & the Cayman Islands, all of which are 2:00ish, so they are on the East Coast! ***ONE OF THE SHOW'S PRODUCERS, MIKE SCULLY, IS FROM WEST SPRINGFIELD, MA yet another connection -Since Springfield is HAS to be on the East coast, MA has is cold/snowy in the winter and can get brutally hot in the winter, demonstrated in many episodes -the Simpsons drive to New York City and Vermont in some episodes, not to far from MA. -when Moe brings the bar people to Nevada, he gets a special bus, maybe because it is so far away.
I am sure there are many more ways to prove that this is Springfield, MA but I have written so much I HAVE to stop now. Feel free to reply to this and give me your feedback!
FIRST OF ALL I LIVE IN SPRINGFIELD, MA...I AGREE WITH YOU BECAUSE...YES THERE IS AN ARMORY, AND A POWER PLANT, IT IS COLD HERE, WE HAVE MNT'S ALL OVER THE PLACE, THERE IS A WEST SPRINGFIELD, SHELBYVILLE CAN BE CONSIDERED PALMER, THE BRADLEY AIRPORT IN HARTFORD RESEMBLES THE ONE ON THE SIMPSONS REMARKEBLY, BOSTON IS THE CAPITOL, BUT CAPITOL CITY..HMM, NO IDEA?? MAYBE BOSTON, YALE IS IN CT, WHICH LISA TALKS ABOUT ALL THE TIME, THE DOWNTOWN AREA HERE LOOKS SIMILIAR TO THAT SPRINGFIELD, WHICH THE SIMPSONS LIVE, SO YEAH..I THINK MASSACHUSETTS.
